THE LEADER'S REPORT: WEEK OF OCTOBER 22, 2007
MESSAGE FROM THE MAJORITY LEADER
This week, the House kept its promise to act quickly to pass new bipartisan legislation that will provide health insurance to 10 million low-income children after House Republicans sustained the President's veto last week. We introduced a revised Children's Health Insurance Program bill on Wednesday, which was crafted with Senate and House Republicans and addressed the concerns raised by some Republicans. The new CHIP bill continues to provide coverage to 10 million uninsured, low-income children, while clarifying that the focus would be on enrolling low-income children first, that illegal immigrants cannot receive benefits, and that coverage of adults would be phased out. | ||
Sincerely yours, | ||
