I'm sorry, but this program should have only been funded through the end of the calendar year and then turned over to the states. This is a Clinton-era program to get the foot in the door for universal healthcare after Hillarycare was soundly defeated. Typical Dem maneuver, propose something less statist and targeted, and anyone who opposes it is against the children or whatever interest group benefits from it.
Still, giving in on CHIP is still much better than giving in on DACA.
Agreed. This was a cave by the Pubs, giving away one of their valuable bargaining chips for nothing.
It’s still a smart move as it defangs the Left when it comes to the really big issues at hand....
Agree. NOT-winning
