Chris supports increased health coverage for children and believes that children's health care should be a national priority. Carney supported bipartisan legislation to provide health insurance to 10 million children, including 312,807 in Pennsylvania. When the President vetoed this legislation, Chris voted to override the veto, saying "Insuring kids is morally and fiscally responsible. Healthy children are more likely to succeed in education and life. This is an investment in our nation's future."
