Jay Rockefeller: “CHIP is not yet included. It is not included.”

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 urge Congress to, first and foremost, adopt a 4-year extension of CHIP funding through 2019.

Creating this program has been one of the most meaningful things I have done in my career in public service.

You could see it, but you could not do anything about it.
