Theres nothing in this bill that prevents States from even covering the children of the Members of Congress in this bill. I think this is a bill that should not happen. I rise today in strong opposition to it. One of my problems is that it eliminates the 5year waiting period for immigrants who deserve to be eligible for Medicare and SCHIP. Congress wisely created this waiting period. and eliminating this waiting period will exacerbate our current immigration problems and further endanger government health care programs. By repealing this current law. millions of citizens will be eligible for Medicaid and SCHIP immediately. Had this bill been brought to the committee. the proper thing.
