Signing up Chip Eligible Children President Clinton, Mrs. Clinton, Governors Leavitt and Carper, distinguished guests. It's true that playful children laughing, hiding and refusing to go to bed - do test us.
Children being children is a test all parents face - and learn to love.
But there's another test that tries the spirit of millions of working parents - and that's the test of a sick child with no health insurance. Parents should not have to rely just on prayers when their children fall ill. They should be able to rely on high quality medical care too. As Mrs. Clinton said, that's what our Children's Health Insurance Program is all about. CHIP is not a welfare program, it is a serious investment in the health of our future workforce.
