Jay Rockefeller: “This is a very serious hearing and a very important hearing.”

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.

I am interested in the children who still have to be reached out to, in the Alabamas and West Virginias and Pennsylvanias and Ohios, et cetera.

This is a good bill. It has helped. It has done even what the Affordable Care Act has not been able to do.

Thank you very much.
