FLOOR REMARKS ON SCHIP
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2009
Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the thousands of uninsured children in Indianapolis, Indiana.
In this recession, many of my constituents can no longer afford the skyrocketing cost of health care. Without checkups or medication for their children, they sit powerless.
So, I implore those who oppose this bill to think of the uninsured children in their congressional districts. Should they be made to suffer from rising health care costs and an unstable job market? And should your constituents suffer because their children hang between Medicaid and private insurance? The answer to both of these questions should be an unwavering no.
There are few opportunities in this body where the right decision is so obvious. Support our children by voting yes on SCHIP!
Thank you Madam Speaker and I yield back the balance of my time.
