We started with a less than perfect bill that would have covered close to 6 million children who are eligible. Were now heading to just above 3. And the proposed changes threaten to put up barriers that would even lower that number: removing outreach dollars will never get to the children we need to cover. Requiring proof of citizenship will scare naturalized citizens and the poor that were trying to cover away. Taking away authority of States to have income disregards will cause children now covered to lose it. Not covering parents will threaten the health of their children. if theyre lucky enough to squeeze through the sieve that the House Republicans are trying to create.
