    There is a lot of confusion about #CHIP funding that I want to clear up. I fully support CHIP & want to see some major inefficiencies in the program addressed as we work to ensure it will be sustainable for children & families who depend on it.

        That's fine, Senator. Fund it now so families aren't scared, then craft your fixes via legislation. You have the majority and the ability to do that.

        What Lisa said. I'm an IT guy. I don't shut down servers that could be improved leaving nobody able to use them at all. I work on the improvements and roll them out when I can and meanwhile something is waaaay better than nothing.

        Yeah. How much $$$ does each Trump golf-outing cost us? How much for him to fly to the gulf and campaign for prospective senators? Why isn’t @SenatorLankford worried about these expenditures??

        CHIP is for families without healthcare, you have let it expire. The working poor. They make too much for welfare assistance, but not enough to afford healthcare. You have let this expire for 9 million families taking care of these children.

        Maybe clear up your position on POTUS’s sexually suggestive tweet about a sitting Senator this morning. Are you good with that behavior?

        let me guess, you'll spend more time contemplating how to fund CHIP than you did on the US tax reform bill...

        How about not eliminating the estate tax that impacts only the top 5,000 families in the US. And no, these aren't small business or farmers, its the richest of the rich. By keeping the current tax, we can fund the entire CHIP program and insure 9 million children. That's better.

        Or do you want to cut funding to Medicare and undermine the ACA as part of the deal, Senator? Your constituents deserve to know the truth.

        I’m not confused. You should have reauthorized CHIP funding months ago. Stop your eloquent, but meaningless excuses. Do your job. Between your tax hike for the poor & middle classes and your inaction on CHIP, you will literally kill people. Shame!

        If you had concerns about the program but still supported it's general efforts why did your constituents that depend on this service have to fret for months before you were willing to provide a statement?

        You threw your constituents under the bus. Tax cuts for Corps & rich are permanent. Tax cuts for me are going to go up & I would pay more. My income does not go up. Like a lot of others, I have a fixed income. Did you go to Washington just to get rich? We know Inhofe did.
