We simply cannot afford to take this major step backwards and jeopardize the future of generations by allowing CHIP to expire.

Just as a follow-up to the question of funding which was addressed, CBO actually has come out with an estimate on what all of this would cost. It is not $20 billion; it is in the area of zero up to $10 billion over that period of 4 years.

We need to change our culture through increased awareness and education to prevent domestic violence from occurring.

one of the things that happened with the CBO scoring was that yes, there was a cost because you were keeping CHIP operating, but there was a savings because the children were not transferring into the Affordable Care Act, for example.
