Members of Congress and Vice President Joe Biden (2nd R) applaud as U.S. President Barack Obama speaks before signing the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) bill in the East Room of the White House in Washington on February 4, 2009. The bill expands SCHIP by roughly $35 billion over five years and will be financed with a 62-cent-per-pack increase in the federal tax on cigarettes. (UPI Photo/Alexis C. Glenn)
