Washington, D.C. — Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, released the following statement in support of the CHAMPIONING HEALTHY KIDS Act.

“The CHAMPIONING HEALTHY KIDS Act includes key provisions for public health programs, especially funding for the state Children’s Health Insurance Program. Congress must act to ensure that children and their families who rely on this vital program can continue to receive the access they need. In a fiscally-responsible way, this legislation also delays harmful Obamacare-mandated cuts to hospitals that provide care to underserved patients. I am eager to see this important legislation reach the House Floor later this week.”
