“I applaud Governor Culver for launching an aggressive outreach program to enroll eligible children into the HAWK-I health insurance program. Particularly now, with the downturn in the economy, it’s very important that families eligible for HAWK-I, are aware of the program and know how to enroll their children.”
“Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted to override the President’s veto of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), legislation which would have expanded the program to millions of more children. Unfortunately, the veto was sustained, and this action denies health care to children of hardworking families across America.”
“I will continue to work with my colleagues on strengthening SCHIP because we cannot reset until Congress succeeds in enacting a plan which will ensure that 10 million eligible children have health care coverage.”
“Our seniors deserve fairness, not fixes for a chosen few.”
