President Trump Proposes $7 Billion Cut to Children's Health Insurance Program

Summary from the AllSides News Team

President Trump has proposed cutting $7 billion from the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) as a part of the $15 billion spending clawback. Many on the Left have come out against the proposal saying that it will hurt low-income families. However, some on the Right point out that a large portion of that CHIP funding ($5 billion) is 2017 funding that has expired, and that Democrats previously agreed to rescind CHIP funding as a part of the March omnibus.
