Democrats Threw Children’s Health Care Under The Bus http://thefederalist.com/2018/01/21/democrats-threw-childrens-health-care-under-the-bus/
Let me guess.. its related to CHIP. Bus is going nowhere with all the kids McConnell and crew have put under the wheels already. "But it has been left to twist in the wind while families receive “devastating” letters from their states about the program’s possible end. CHIP funding was expiring at the end of September, but Republicans set it aside that month to pursue a last-ditch run at repealing Obamacare. Then in November, the House passed a CHIP extension, which would have cut Medicare and Obamacare funding to appease their most conservative members and cover the then-$8 billion price tag. Now, after the repeal of Obamacare’s individual mandate in the Republican tax bill, Congress could extend CHIP for a full six years at no cost to the government — and it would in fact save the government money if they extended it further. So Republicans, after months of criticism and a stalemate over how to pay for CHIP, have decided to turn the tables: They attached a six-year CHIP extension to their short-term spending bill in an attempt to deter Democrats from shutting down the federal government this week over the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which the two parties still haven’t agree on how to fix. #Senate Democrats have a choice to make. This should be a no-brainer... — Leader McConnell (@SenateMajLdr) January 19, 2018 “The inexcusable delays in extending CHIP ... have brought us to a moment now when the CHIP debate no longer has anything to do with CHIP,” Joan Alker, executive director of Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families, told me via email. “The policy is long settled, and there are no offsets needed — CHIP has merely become a bargaining chip. This is a very sad state of affairs.” McConnell is an evil SOB. He has made a career by this kind of crap and is responsible for this.
Republicunts attached it as a bargaining chip. you stupid fucks. And if Pelosi took some? many? people to Acqua AI 2 and it is not just a from thin air lie (Politico boy did not spell it correctly for some reason?) I would be surprised but hey, she is like Trump too old to be making decisions. Obama got shit done under appalling obstruction because he was prime CEO age in no small part.
