States Prepare to Shut Down Childrens Health Program
https://politicalwire.com/2017/11/26/states-prepare-shut-childrens-health-program/"SNIP..........
“Officials in nearly a dozen states are preparing to notify families that a crucial health insurance program for low-income children is running out of money for the first time since its creation two decades ago, putting coverage for many at risk by the end of the year,” the Washington Post reports.
“Congress missed a Sept. 30 deadline to extend funding for CHIP, as the Children’s Health Insurance Program is known. Nearly 9 million youngsters and 370,000 pregnant women nationwide receive care because of it.”
“Many states have enough money to keep their individual programs afloat for at least a few months, but five could run out in late December if lawmakers do not act. Others will start to exhaust resources the following month.”

Yeah, that's right - Make America F*cked Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS is what we, the ones that used to be the GREATEST NATION ON THE EARTH, have become?
"Suffer the little children to come unto me" - and I'll send them off to play on the streets, maybe get something to eat sometime in the next day or two, and who knows, if they don't get sick, they'll be OK!"
ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: That "suffer the little children to come unto me" thingie up there - it came from the Bible - you know, the thing you Repugs "claim" to live by - but continue to use as kindling for lighting up your coal fire.
