Bernie Sanders actually said...

"Current law provides for the possibility of automatically enrolling children in public health care (SCHIP or Medicaid) when they are found eligible for a childcare subsidy, but no States have adopted ..."

"The Federal Government is going to have to take the lead to help States ensure that all low-income children have access to quality early childhood education programs and services."

"Making it a requirement is an excellent way to gain access to the health care many children so desperately need."

"We appreciate your leadership on this issue legislatively and look forward to continuing to work together to serve our most vulnerable children."
