We urge Congress to, first and foremost, adopt a 4-year extension of CHIP funding through 2019.
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 simply cannot afford to take this major step backwards and jeopardize the future of generations by allowing CHIP to expire.
