It will move people from welfare to work. and it provides child care funding and Medicaid to help people make the move from a welfare check to a paycheck. It maintains nutritional guarantees. And it includes child support provisions to press deadbeat parents to meet their responsibilities so their children do not end up on welfare. This legislation is better than the Gingrich bill which I opposed 2 weeks ago. The Gingrich bill eliminated the Federal guarantee of nutritional assistance. The Gingrich bill denied Medicaid to legal Immigrants. The Gingrich bill denied benefits to children born to parents on welfare. And the Gingrich bill did not allow States to provide vouchers for children when their parents exceeded time limits.
