Blue Jersey's Interview of Bob Menendez: SCHIP

Blue Jersey's Jay Lassiter interviews Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) on challenges facing the State Children's Health Insurance Program under the Bush Administration. Menendez talks about his fight for working families in New Jersey and around the country.

With participating states facing huge funding shortfalls, the Senator secured $650 million in supplemental appropriations for SCHIP (with $100 million coming to NJ) and he is fighting the Bush Administration's attempts to pull the rug out from under currently insured people -- 110,000 in New Jersey alone.

This is one of three topics the Senator was interviewed on. The other videos can be found at BlueJersey.com.
