GOP Weighs Childrens Health Insurance as Lure
January 16, 2018 at 7:51 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
“With little hope of an immigration agreement this week, Republicans in Congress are considering a plan to head off a government shutdown this weekend by pairing another stopgap spending measure with long-term funding for the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, daring Democrats to vote no,” the New York Times reports.
“The bill would set up another possible showdown in mid-February, when government funding would again be set to expire. But it would give lawmakers time to continue negotiations on immigration and long-term government funding levels.”
