"Because of the lack of action in Congress, Hawaii will run out of CHIP funding by the end of 2017, and Natalie will have her autism care interrupted until her family finds insurance in some other way."  This is nonsense.  Don't blame it on Congress.  If Hawaii can afford to add .05% to the GET to raise billions of dollars for nice-to-have rail, it surely can afford to add another .05% for essentials like CHIP to take care of its own.
