Furthermore, the Senator pointed out that during the first year of the Trump administration, it is “obsessed with two things—decimating Medicaid and giving rich people more money.”
Voters could use the midterm election to protect CHIP
Moreover, Sen. Casey said the upcoming midterm election is one way to protect CHIP, which provides insurance coverage to nearly nine million children. In Pennsylvania, more than 180,000 children have health insurance through the program.
“There’s an election coming up, which is another way to register our disapproval. But, between now and then, we have to geth the word about it.”
On Friday, Sen. Casey also tweeted that the Trump administration failed to fulfill its promises on child care.
