“It is absolutely appalling that Republicans in Washington would put families at risk,” he said in a statement.
Additionally, Gov. Wolf said the White House and congressional leaders shouldn’t be cutting health care funding to appease special interests and extremists. They should work towards improving health care for kids and families.
“We shouldn’t be diverting one dollar from this important program,” said Gov. Wolf.
On the other hand, Sen. Casey said the Trump administration’s proposal to cut CHIP funding is a “shameful betrayal of children.”
“This Administration and congressional Republicans passed a massive tax giveaway to their donors and big corporations and now they want vulnerable children to pay for it. This is absolutely unacceptable. I will continue to fight for CHIP funding and I hope Republicans will join me,” said Sen. Casey.
