Today, First Focus Campaign for Children sent a letter to Reps. Gonzales, Malliotakis, De La Cruz, Valadao, Ciscomani, Bresnahan, Moylan, and King-Hinds to extend our sincere gratitude for their leadership in addressing the critical concerns surrounding potential cuts to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) as outlined in the recent House Budget Resolution and for prioritizing the Child Tax Credit.
Excerpt from the letter:
The proposed budget cuts would have a disproportionate impact on the communities you represent. According to data from the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families, a significant percentage of children in your districts rely on Medicaid and CHIP for their healthcare needs.
