Trump calls children's health care 'wasteful' as GOP votes to slash it

[workinclasszero]

Republicans voted to cut $7 billion in funding from children's health care.
By Oliver Willis - June 8, 2018


House Republicans voted Thursday to cut $7 billion from the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The measure passed the House of Representatives with only Republican votes, 210-206.

The CHIP program provides health insurance to millions of low-income children and pregnant women.

Trump tweeted in support of “historic” legislation that cut “wasteful spending.” He described the so-called rescissions package as a sign “we are getting our government back on track.”

Republican leaders have argued that the legislation shows fiscal responsibility. But Republicans passed a $1.3 trillion spending package after also passing tax cuts targeted at multimillionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations.

Voters how heartless rethugs are even with sick children.

6. We need to pound this horrendous GOP vote home to Americans in the run up to the midterms!

And also that the Trump administration is trying to get coverage for pre-existing conditions declared unconstitutional which would immediately affect 130 million Americans!

9. Does not change the fact that the f**king president of the United States of America

called child health care spending "wasteful" and every damn GOP'er but a few in the House voted to kill it.

Believe me if the republicans have the votes in the Senate they will happily kill CHIP dead and Shitler will gladly sign it!
