Today’s Action: Keep the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funded
It’s no secret how Trump and the GOP feel about the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provides coverage to 9 million low-income children and pregnant women: they care so little that they blocked its funding for five agonizing months earlier this year.
Blocked it while they passed a huge tax giveaway to corporations and millionaires. Which caused a massive deficit. Which they’re now trying to fix…by cutting funding for CHIP.
Trump’s latest budget proposal for Congress includes $2 billion in cuts to CHIP’s Child Enrollment Contingency Fund, which provides emergency relief for states in the case of unexpected high enrollment — on top of a $2 billion cut already implemented earlier this year. CHIP started 2018 with $4.3 billion in emergency funds, but could end the year down 88% to $500 million…unless we fight for it.
Solving our government’s utterly-avoidable and deeply unpopular financial woes by sacrificing one of the biggest social safety nets in the country has become a depressingly familiar battle with Trump’s administration. Republicans in Congress only need to approve this cut by a simple majority, which makes it all the more vital that we show our support for this desperately needed healthcare.
But funding CHIP is one of the strongest bipartisan issues in our country, of highest priority for both sides of the party line. So here’s the good news: you might even have a few Republican voters helping you flood the phone lines. And that, friends, is how the Blue Wave becomes a tsunami.
