    As a doctor in rural Louisiana, I have seen how #CHIP helps poor children, but Democrats are playing political games with CHIP over an unrelated immigration debate. Dems care more about illegal immigrants than they do about sick American children. That is unconscionable. #LA05pic.twitter.com/CU933ptsO0

        I sit on a board for a FQHC in TN. The inability of our leaders to do their jobs and approve the CHIP Act is hurting the most vulnerable citizens, chronically ill children. They should be ashamed.

        Yes, the House Republicans who allowed CHIP to expire should be ashamed

        The GOP has had months to renew CHIP. You politicize the health and well being of working poor and leave our rural hospitals & clinics in uncertain financial territory. Don’t blame Democrats in efforts to be sanctimonious

        If you were so worried about the CHIP recipients, why didn't you do something when it was defunded by your party late last year? Why don't you sponsor a bill to fund it outright, right now? Why are you only now concerned, and why do you tie your concerns to an immigration law?

        When did CHIP expire? I haven't seen ANY members of Congress working straight through holidays or weekends to get CHIP reinstated since it expired. Just sayin...

        You're the one playing political games with children's lives. And you know better and took an oath to do no harm. Shameful.

        Then put the CHIP bill, and ONLY the CHIP bill, up for consideration. This is on you and your party.

        If you care so much about American kids, why’d the @gop let it expire in the first place?

        Absolutely not true. Republicans pulled #CHIP and can reinstate it right now. They control house senate & WH. They don’t need Ds to reinstate #CHIP

        Fuck off. CBO projected 10-year CHIP reauthorization would save money. Such a reauthorization would pass both chambers as a standalone bill right now but your party won't put it up for a vote so you can use children's health as a hostage. Your party is the ONLY one to blame here.

        That’s ridiculous. Republicans have a full majority and failed to reauthorize i#CHIP as a matter of course last year. YOU did this.

        This is a bold faced lie. Republicans are in control of both House and Senate, with a Republican in the WH. Republicans let CHIP funding expire months ago, Sherrod Brown, among other Dems, kept asking to refund, but Republicans kept deferring. Now we know why.

        CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!
