No Money for Poor Children, but $1.5 Trillion for the Rich and Corporations
Less than two days after the Senate passed widely criticized tax reform legislation, one of the tax bill’s key proponents came under fire for claiming there’s “no money” for a children’s health care plan he helped create.
On the Senate floor Thursday, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) responded to a question from Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) about the future of the Children’s Health Insurance Program, a low-cost health insurance plan for children from low-income families that Congress has yet to review since it expired Oct. 1. The question came during a debate on the Republican tax bill, which Hatch presided over as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. In response, Hatch claimed the health insurance program had not yet been renewed due to a lack of funds. “The reason CHIP’s having trouble is because we don’t have money anymore,” Hatch said. https://www.aol.com/article/news/201...plan/23295751/
