So that factual statement did not exist. but in any event. the fact is now and I thank our Republican colleagues for insisting upon the clarity that says no one making over 300 percent of poverty. no State can allow people to receive the benefits of SCHIP. So theres a cap. a 300 percent of poverty. as to who may receive the benefit. Secondly. the question of undocumented. those people who are in our country but have not been here that length of time that would qualify. So the undocumented are one category. and the undocumented are not allowed to receive benefits from this initiative. It was clear in the first bill. Its even clearer in the second bill. So the cap on who can receive it. stronger language as to undocumented. and. third. the issue of adults. Adults were in the program because people thought as a lure to families they could get children in the program. Republicans objected to that.
