"Twenty years ago, Senator Ted Kennedy and I came together to create the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP."
"CHIP was needed to help many families make that transition."
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been impacted over the past few days by Hurricane Irma."
"CHIP has helped children whose families have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but too low to afford private health insurance."
