Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) released the below statement regarding discussions to allow the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide sufficient funding for the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to March 31stin the Continuing Resolution (CR) that Congress will consider as soon as today.Cancellation notices for Colorado are expected to go out on December 26thif Congress does not act this week to extend funding. I will do everything I can to ensure that the 90,000 Colorado children and pregnant mothers that utilize CHIP do not go a day without this funding,Gardner said. While the five year extension of CHIP funding that Senator Bennet and I continue to push in the Senate is by far the best path forward for Coloradans, absent movement on that legislation today we need to make sure funding is extended past Colorados deadline of January 31st. I support the inclusion of language in the must-pass CR that allows CHIP funding to continue while a long-term bipartisan agreement is worked out. Senator Gardner is one ofsix Republicans to sponsor The Keeping Kids Insurance Dependable and Secure (KIDS) Act, legislation to extend CHIP funding through Fiscal Year (FY) 2022. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
