2/7/18 CHIP Coalition Update:
"U.S. Senate leaders announced an agreement to fund the federal government, which must pass by midnight tomorrow to avoid another government shutdown. The U.S. House passed a stopgap funding bill yesterday, which will be struck and replaced by the Senate deal. Therefore, there will need to be a Senate vote and then a House vote on the Senate deal before it could be signed by the President.
The Senate agreement is rumored to include an additional 4 years of funding for CHIP, for a total of 10 years of funding. The deal is also rumored to include 2 years of funding for Community Health Centers and 5 years of funding for MIECHV/home visiting. It is also rumored to include cuts to the Prevention and Public Health Fund.
You can read more about the agreement in these articles from Vox, the New York Times, and Politico."
