Gottheimer ‘resists’ protecting children

Josh Gottheimer just joined Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats to kill a safety net program that provides essential health care to 8.4 million low-income children.

The CHIP legislation – which passed on a party line vote – provides funding for comprehensive health services in medically-underserved communities.

But it gets worse…

Gottheimer also voted against providing up to $1 billion in Medicaid funding to help Puerto Rico while protecting millionaires from paying their premiums in full. 370,000 pregnant women covered each year by CHIP would also be left out to dry.

Can’t wait to see how he tries to talk his way out of this one.
