SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION FIFTEEN
BY SENATOR DODD RELATIVE TO THE
CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE
PROGRAM
SENATOR DODD. MADAM PRESIDENT
COLLEAGUES.
S. J. R. FIFTEEN URGES CONGRESS
TO SWIFTLY PASSED ALONG TERM
REAUTHORIZATION OF CHIP.
THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE
PROGRAM.
CHILDREN'S HEALTH IS AN
IMPERATIVE IT SHOULDN'T BE
TREATED LIKE A POLITICAL
FOOTBALL.
CHIP IS A LIFE FOR LIFE WIDE FOR
ONE POINT THREE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS CHILDREN PROVIDING
THEM WITH CRITICAL HEALTH
INSURANCE IN CARE.
FEDERAL FUNDING LAPSED IN
SEPTEMBER IN SHORT TERM FUNDING
ONLY GOES THROUGH MARCH.
FAMILIES ARE SCARED BECAUSE
CONGRESS IS INACTION IS
JEOPARDIZING HEALTH CARE FOR
MILLIONS OF KIDS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
EVERYONE OUR COUNTRY ESPECIALLY
VULNERABLE YOUNG PEOPLE DESERVES
ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE.
CALIFORNIANS ARE BOTH SIDES OF
THE I'LL WANT CAL PROGRESSION
LEADERS TO PASS A CLEAN LONG
TERM REAUTHORIZATION OF THIS
CRITICAL LIFELINE FOR CHILDREN.
CHIP IT'S HAD WIDE BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT IN THE PAST IT'S
IMPERATIVE THAT CONGRESS SWIFTLY
REAUTHORIZE CHIP WITH NO STRINGS
ATTACHED.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE ON SJ R. FIFTEEN. THANK YOU
SENATOR DODD TO WE'RE GOING TO
GO NOW TO DEBATER DISCUSSION
WITH SENATOR PAN I WOULD ASK
THOSE IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM
PLEASE SO REDUCED THE VOLUME ON
YOUR CONVERSATIONS. SO WE CAN
HEAR THE DISCUSSION ON THE
FLOOR.
SENATOR PAN THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT.
I WANT TO THANK MY GOOD FRIEND
FROM NAPA FOR BRING THIS
RESOLUTION FORD. I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE DOES ACTUALLY A.
TRAINING PEDIATRICIAN TO WORK
ON THE PREDECESSOR TO THE S.
SHIP PROGRAM WHICH IS ACTUALLY A
BILL THAT WAS PASSED IN THE
STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS WAS DOING
MY TRAIN.
TO HAVE A.
EXPANSION CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE
FUNDED BY A.
TOBACCO TAX
AND.
THAT IDEA WAS SO POPULAR IN THE
STATES AND THAT IT WAS THEN
TAKEN AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL BY
THEN SENATORS JOHN KERRY AND.
.
TED KENNEDY AND REACHED OUT TO
SENATOR ORRIN HATCH ISSUES WE
SENATE SOONER PAN COLLEAGUES IF
WE COULD PLEASE GIVE OUR
ATTENTION TO THE DISCUSSION ON
THE FLOOR.
KEEP THOSE CONVERSATIONS IF YOU
NEED TO IN THE BACK BUT KEEP
THEM QUIET PLEASE LET'S GIVE
ATTENTION TO SENATOR PAN.
THANK YOU DOZEN MENTIONED.
BUT REACH OUT TO US AND ORANGE
HATS AND.
THAT'S SHIP BURNOUT CHIP HAS
ALWAYS BEEN A BIPARTISAN.
BILL. AND BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
AND.
CHILDREN.
HAVE DEPENDED ON THIS VITAL
PROGRAM.
TO BE SURE THEY GOT HEALTH CARE
COVERAGE.
SO THIS CHANGE THAT. OVER A
HUNDRED DAYS LATER WE HAVE NOT
YET RENEWED FUNDING FOR TIPS.
NOW WHERE THE CONSEQUENCES OF
THIS PARTICULARLY FOR THE
CHILDREN OF CALIFORNIA.
WELL
BECAUSE OUR STATE HAS DECIDED TO
TO.
MOVE TO AN MEDICAID EXPANSION
OF.
FROM PART OF THE RITUAL HEALTHY
FAMILIES PROGRAM.
BASICALLY WE IS A STATE THAT I
DO HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO
CONTINUE TO ENSURE THAT THEY
HAVE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND AS
A PEDIATRICIAN I WOULD SAY
THAT'S A GOOD THING.
BUT WHAT DOES MEAN IS THAT IT'S
GOING TO COST OUR STATE IF THEY
DIDN'T RENEW IT ON THIS TIME
ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED NINETY
MILLION DOLLARS MORE.
THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
WAS PREVIOUSLY PROVIDING.
TO.
THERE'S.
.
FOR AT COVERAGE SO CERTAINLY
IT'S NOT GOING TO. BE HELPFUL TO
OUR STATES ARE BUDGET.
I WOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT WE
ALSO HAVE SOME PREGNANT WOMEN
WHO ARE COVERED THROUGH THOSE
FUNDS AS WELL.
AND THOSE THAT THAT COVERAGE
MAY BE AT RISK BUT ALSO POINT
OUT ADDITION TO BEING BIPARTISAN
POLLS HAVE SHOWN. THAT OF ALL
THE DIFFERENT ISSUES.
THAT ARE BEFORE OUR FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT ARE CONGRESS THAT
ACTUALLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF
CONSISTENTLY SAID THIS SHOULD BE
THE NUMBER ONE TOP PRIORITY.
NUMBER ONE TOP PRIORITY CONGRESS
IS TO PASS A CLEAN PASSAGES IN
THE NEW CHIP.
SO LET'S STOP USING AS A
POLITICAL FOOTBALL AND I AM AND
AM.
CERTAINLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT SAID RECENT TWEET.
LET'S JUST STOP TURNING INTO A
POLITICAL FOOTBALL LET'S GET OUR
JOB DONE.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO
CALLING CONGRESS IT IS TO GET
YOUR JOB DONE AND LET'S GO AND
PUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AHEAD OF
POLITICS AND PASS A CLEAN
RENEWAL OF CHIPS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SIR PAN SENATOR
MITCHELL FALL BY SENATOR
HERNANDEZ.
YEAH THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MADAM PRESIDENT I STAND IN
SUPPORT OF THAT SHE ARE FIFTEEN
AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK.
MY COLLEAGUE.
FROM THE NORTHERN SECTION OF
OUR STATE FOR.
BRING IT FORWARD.
YOU KNOW FOR ME.
.
THERE ARE ISSUES THAT YOU KNOW
PERHAPS WE DON'T NECESSARILY ALL
AGREE ON AND AND ARE UP FOR TO
BREAK AND THEN THERE ARE ISSUES
THAT FALSE SOLIDLY IN THE LANE
OF BEING NO BRAINER.
VERY SIMPLY.
AND SUPPORTING F. CHIP AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL IS SIMPLY A NO
BRAINER.
ARE WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON
THIS TOUR THIS FLOOR.
DISCUSSED SEEN OUR COMMITMENTTO
CHILDREN.
.
DISCUSSING HOW WE ALL
FUNDAMENTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT
THE CHILDREN IN CALIFORNIA.
THROUGH OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION
SYSTEM.
THING THE DELIBERATE HEALTH
CARE SERVICES ARE REALLY THE
FUTURE OF THE STATE THEY ARE
TRULY OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
EDUCATE TO MAKE SURE CALIFORNIA
CONTINUES TO BE THE INNOVATIVE
STATE.
AND YET WE ARE FACING A TRUE
CRISIS THAT WOULD IMPACT ONE
POINT THREE MILLION.
CALIFORNIANS.
MY NUMBERS ARE SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT FROM THE GENTLEMAN
FROM SACRAMENTO.
BASED ON MY CALCULATION THE
DIRECT HIT.
TO CALIFORNIA'S GENERAL FUND
WOULD BE IN THE TUNE TO THE TUNE
OF SIX HUNRED AND SIXTY MILLION
DOLLARS BECAUSE. I AGREE WITH
HIM WE DO HAVE AN OBLIGATION
BASED ON THE WAY WE HAVE
RESTRUCTURED HEALTHY FAMILIES IN
CALIFORNIA. TO DELIVER THOSE
HEALTH CARE SERVICES.
I DON'T NOW HOW MANY PEOPLE IN
THIS FOR REMEMBER LIFE IN
CALIFORNIA TREE HEALTHY
FAMILIES.
I DON'T WE KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU
KIND OF WORKED IN HEALTHCARE
DELIVERY R. WORKED IN POLICY
LOOK WORKED IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT
MIGHT NEED HE REMINDED SO. ON A
REGULAR BASIS.
WHEN WE HAD FAR TOO MANY WORKING
FAMILIES.
WHO EARNED TOO MUCH TO QUALIFY
FOR MEDICAID OUT?
BUT NOT ENOUGH TO AFFORD PRIVATE
INSURANCE OR THEIR EMPLOYER
DIDN'T PROVIDE IT
AND THEIR CHILDREN WENT WITHOUT.
VERY SIMPLY.
THAT'S IN RECENT HISTORY
COLLEAGUES.
WHEN CALIFORNIA.
HAD OVER MILLION CHILDREN WHO
DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO CRITICAL
PREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICES.
THIS IS A NO BRAINER.
AND IF YOU PUT ON YOUR
CALIFORNIA POLICY MAKER HAT.
NONE OF THIS CAN STAND IDLY BY.
AND ALLOW A CONGRESS TO DEADLOCK
ON AN ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE
DIRECT.
AND IMMEDIATE HARM TO
CALIFORNIA'S CHILDREN.
PHIL BEYOND SUPPORTING FC R.
FIFTEEN TODAY I HOPE THAT WE ALL
WILL RAISE OUR COLLECTIVE
VOICES.
TO OUR RESPECTIVE CAUCUSES IN
CONGRESS AND LET HIM KNOW THAT
THIS INACTION IS UNACCEPTABLE.
FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF
CALIFORNIA I SUPPORT FDR FIFTY.
THANK YOU SENATOR MITCHELL
SENATOR HERNANDEZ.
THEY CAN A PRESIDENT MEMBERS.
WHEN HE FIRST SAW THINK SENATOR
DODD FOR BRINGING FORWARD DIE AS
HE ARE FIFTEEN.
OBVIOUSLY I SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF
THE MEASURE. WE ALL KNOW THE
HISTORY OF CHIP POWER AT ONE
TIME IT WAS HEALTHY FAMILIES.
AS SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES
MENTION A WHAT WE AS POLICY
MAKERS MADE THAT DECISION TO
MOVE INTO OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM.
ALBEIT WE'VE BEEN VERY VERY
FORTUNATE BECAUSE AT ONE TIME
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO.
WAS.
.
SUPPORTING THE CHIP PROGRAM AND
AN EIGHTY EIGHT PERCENT AND I'M
ANNOUNCING THAT WE THE SHOULDN'T
OBVIOUS WE LEFT HAVE AT THAT
LEVEL.
BUT IN OUR LAST BUDGET OF I'M
NOT MISTAKEN.
WE CALCULATED THAT THEY WOULD
BE DROPPING THAT NOT ELIMINATING
IT IN THE US FOR I THINK WE
ADJUSTED IT SLIGHTLY UP TO LIKE
IT SIXTIES PERCENTAGE GIVE OR
TAKE. SO THAT WE WOULD TAKE ON
SOME RESPONSIBILITY.
BUT THE WAY IT IS NOW.
WITH THE POLITICAL FOOTBALL
THAT'S GOING ON AT THE FEDERAL
LEVEL IF THE ELIMINATE THIS WE
ARE GOING TO BE ON THE HOOK FOR
A LOT HIGHER AMOUNT OF DOLLARS.
AND LET ME JUST EXPLAIN TO YOU
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS.
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY VULNERABLE
CHILDREN THAT DESERVE HEALTH
CARE THAT WE HAVE TO AS POLICY
MAKERS MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THIS
FUNDING.
WE HAVE NO CONTROL BECAUSE WE'RE
NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BUT I
REALLY BELIEVE THAT ALL OF US
COLLECTIVELY.
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
NEED TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THAT
THIS IS A VERY VERY IMPORTANT
PROGRAM THAT WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE IS FUNDED AT THE LEVELS
THAT DOES NOT AFFECT OUR STATE
BUDGETS TO MAKE SURE THAT
VULNERABLE CHILDREN MAKE SURE
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.
WITH THAT I I RESPECT WE ASKED
IVA.
ANY FURTHER DEBATE OR DISCUSSION

SERVING IN THIS BODY.
I AM CERTAIN HAVE WONDERFUL
STORIES.
ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES WE'VE HAD TO
MEET GREAT PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES.
BY BEING SENATORS.
AND.
OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE
THINGS THAT OTHER FOLKS
HAVE A.
WE LOST TO.
FORMER UNITED STATES SENATOR THE
OTHER DAY JOHN TUNNEY.
ARE HE WAS ELECTED TO IN THE
PALM SPRINGS AREA RIVERSIDE AREA
IN THE FIGHT AGAINST GEORGE
BROWN THE SIXTIES AND THE
CONGRESS AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY.
TOOK A SEAT UNITED STATES SENATE
NINETEEN SEVENTY.
I WAS FORTUNATE OFFICE YOUNG
PERSON TO BE ABLE TO MEET HIM
AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH THEM IN
FACT IF YOU GO ON MY OFFICE IS A
GREAT PICTURE OF BOB ALREADY. A
FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SAID
MERV DIE MILLIE LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR JOHN TUNNEY. OF FROM
THE OLD DAYS.
AND YOU KNOW THE DOING I JUST
WANT TO SHARE IN ADDITION TO ALL
THE ACCOLADES WITH RESPECT WAS
LEGISLATION ALIKE BUT.
BECAUSE OF OUR POSITIONS WE GET
TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE IMAGE OF WHAT SOMEONE
PROJECTS.
WHICH OFTEN IS ONE THING TO THE
PUBLIC. AND WHAT THEY'RE REALLY
LIKE BEHIND THE SCENES AND WHEN
YOU'RE YOUNG POWER IN THIS KID
WHO'S A DRIVER FOR MERV DIE
MILLIE. AT RUNNING FOR
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR YOU REALLY
GET A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW
ABOUT WHO PEOPLE ARE AND WHAT
THEIR CHARACTERS.
HOW THEY TREAT PEOPLE IS THE
REAL INTEGRITY BETWEEN THE
VALUES THAT THEY PREACH TALKING
ABOUT TAKING CARE OF THE LITTLE
GUY? AND PROTECTING THOSE WHO
UNDERSERVED AND THEIR DAILY
CONDUCT AND HOW THEY COMPORT
THEMSELVES.
WELL LET ME TELL YOU IS AN
EYEWITNESS TO JOHN TUNNEY.
AND DESPITE ALL OF HIS AYE AYE
YOU KNOW THIS IS STORIES ABOUT
HIM BEING ROOMMATES WITH TEDDY
KENNEDY AND TRAVELING THE WORLD
WITH TEDDY KENNEDY WHICH HE DID.
A AND THE LIKE IN HIS EARLY
DAYS.
HE WAS A MAN OF GRACE.
HE WAS A MAN THAT ALWAYS CARED
ABOUT YOU. LOS TO CARE OF YOU
AND IN MY JUDGMENT THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING INTEGRATED HIS
DAILY BEHAVIOR IN HOW WE TREATED
FOLKS THAT DIDN'T HAVE POWER.
WHAT IT WAS A DOORMAN TO THE
DRIVE OOM IN MY CASE WHOEVER IT
WAS?
HE WAS A FELLOW WHO BACK IN THIS
IN IN THE SEVENTIES ORDER BOOK
TALKING EARLY ABOUT ISSUES OF
ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE
AND. AND AND FOOD SHORTAGES AND
FOOD SCARCITY IN THE LIKE IN A
VERY ELEGANT WAY.
SO I RISE TODAY TO ADJOURN HIS
MEMORY HE'S A FELLOW WHO SERVED
IN LEFT GOVERNMENT. I HAD SI
CALABI THEM IN NINETEEN SEVENTY
SIX IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
THAT BEING SAID JUST BECAUSE IT
WAS A LONG TIME AGO DOESN'T MEAN
IT WASN'T IMPORTANT HIS
CONTRIBUTIONS WERE
EXTRAORDINARY.
AND THAT HE WILL BE MISSED.
HIS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE A
CATHOLIC HER HIS BROTHER J.
CHILDREN ATTEND MARK. ADRIAN
TARA CEDRIC AND DARIEN AND THREE
GRANDCHILDREN OF LIKE TO ADJOURN
IN HIS MEMORY SENATOR JOHN
TUNNEY. THANK YOU SENATOR
HERTZBERG OF A COLLEAGUE IN.
A GREAT EXAMPLE OF FOR MANY OF
US WHO REMEMBER HIM AS WE WERE
GROWING UP TO BECOME SENATORS
OURSELVES. THANK YOU SIR. A
SENATOR NIELSEN.
FOR PURPOSES ARE
THOUGHT ON THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT
OBJECTION THAT A PRESIDENT AND
LAID DOWN THE SENATE I. NEVER.
EVER MET OR GOT TO KNOW. CENTER
TINY.
I KNEW OF HIS TIME AND I WAS
STARTING GET ACTIVE IN POLITICS
TO AT THAT TIME BUT I DID NOT
KNOW HIM LIKE MY STEAM
COLLEAGUE.
BUT I KNOW IS HERITAGE AND I
WOULD SPEAK TO TO THAT HERITAGE.
HIS FATHER WAS A WORLD
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BOXER.
AND A VERY GOOD ONE.
AND HE.
E. ONE IS CHAMPIONSHIP IN A IN A
HUGE UPSET.
A VERY DISTINGUISHED MAN I HAD
OCCASION TO MEET HIM WANT.
I KNEW HIS BROTHER VERY WELL.
HIS BROTHER GENE WAS A DISTRICT
ATTORNEY OF SONOMA COUNTY.
FOR MANY YEARS.
THAT'S WHAT GENE I GOT TO KNOW
THE VALUES OF THAT FAMILY.
AND THOUGH. SENATOR TUNNEY'S
POLITICS WERE LIMIT DIFFERENT
THAN MINE.
THE QUALITY OF CHARACTER OF THE
GENTLEMAN I HIGHLY RESPECT.
THEN I THINK IT'S VERY
APPROPRIATE FOR US.
TO JOIN IN HONOR OF THE. OF THE
MAN OF THE STEAMED FAMILY.
AND YOU DON'T GET TO THE UNITED
STATES SENATE. WITHOUT BEING
ACCOMPLISHED PERSON.
THANK YOU SENATOR NIELSEN AND
INDEED OF.
I HOPE THAT WE WILL A BE ABLE TO
MEMORIALIZE SETS SO THAT WE CAN
EXTEND OUR. OF.
CONDOLENCES AS A BODY AS WELL AS
INDIVIDUALLY TO HIS FAMILY.

WE ARE NOW AT CONDITION OF THE
FILE SENATORS STONE IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO PROCEED AGAIN ON
CONDITION OF THE FILE.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
COLLEAGUES AS STEWARDS OF THE
STATE TREASURY.
WE SHOULD ALL BE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE EARLY COST OVERRUNS OF
THE GOVERNOR. GOVERNOR'S TRAIN
TO KNOW WHERE. WE JUST LEARNED
FROM THE MEDIA NOT FROM A POLICY
COMMITTEE. THAT THE FIRST TWO
HUNDRED MILE LEG OF THE TRAIN TO
THE CENTRAL VALLEY BECAUSE AN
ADDITIONAL TWO POINT EIGHT.
BILLION DOLLARS FOR RIGHT OF WAY
ACQUISITION AND BARRIERS NEEDED.
MY FRIENDS WHY CAN'T THIS STATE
HIT ITS ENGINEERS ESTIMATES
RIGHT.
THIS PROJECT IS REMINISCENT OF
IT PROJECTS IN THE STATE TO THEM
PLAGUED WITH HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF COST
OVERRUNS.
AND YEARS OF DELAYS.
IF YOU EXTRAPOLATE THE COST
OVERRUN OF TWO POINT EIGHT
BILLION. OVER THE SIX HUNDRED
MILE PROPOSED LENGTH OF THIS
TRAIN ROUTE. THAT WORKS OUT TO A
FINISH COST OVERRUN AT EIGHT
POINT FOUR BILLION DOLLARS.
WHAT COULD BE BETTER DO WITH
EIGHT POINT FOUR BILLION
DOLLARS?
MY FRIENDS WE COULD ACTUALLY
RAISE THE MEDI CAL FEE TO
DOCTORS SO THE POOR CAN ACTUALLY
SEE A DOCTOR WHEN THEY NEED ONE
ESPECIALLY DURING THIS VERA LYNN
FLU EPIDEMIC.
WE COULD BUILD FORTY THOUSAND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS IN THE
STATE THAT HAS THE HIGHEST
HOUSING COSTS IN THE NATION.
WE COULD LOWER TUITION FOR ONE
YEAR FOR ALL THREE MILLION
STUDENTS AT OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES CAL STATE UC CAMPUSES
BY. TWENTY SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
PER STUDENT.
AND WE COULD REPAVE EIGHTY
THOUSAND LANE MILES OF OUR DIRT
