June 6, 2018 - Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after the Trump Administration released a revised rescissions package attacking children’s health care:

“After exploding the deficit with a GOP Tax Scam for the wealthy and well-connected, Republicans have the gall to invoke ‘fiscal responsibility’ in demanding a new rescissions package that attacks funding reserved for children’s health initiatives.

“Nearly half of the cuts from the revised rescissions package target Children’s Health Insurance Program funding.  Republicans are hypocritically insisting on clawing back every loose penny in our accounts for children’s health while giving away hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks for big corporations and the wealthiest. 

“Democrats are standing strong to fight the Republicans’ harmful rescissions package and to protect American families from the Republicans’ raw deal.  We are committed to giving the American people A Better Deal, with Better Jobs, Better Wages and a Better Future.”
