Senator Hatch concerned about the COST of child healthcare

He just voted to give over $1 trillion in immediate tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy but he's concerned about the cost of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), about $14 billion per year? CHIP expired the end of September and the Repugnantans have yet to renew it over claiming cost is the reason. Seriously? When you just spent over $1 trillion for your wealthy benefactors? And children have to go without healthcare to help pay for it?

The Repugs obviously don't give a fuck about the cost, or about children's healthcare. The real reason? Hatch makes it crystal clear when he says:

"I have a rough time wanting to spend billions and billions and trillions of dollars to help people who won’t help themselves, won’t lift a finger and expect the federal government to do everything. [He blamed a 'liberal philosophy' for creating millions of people] who believe everything they are or ever hope to be depend upon the federal government rather than the opportunities that this great country grants them.”

There it is. Children in need should literally die because he and the Repugs think their parents are lazy fucks who won't get off their asses to help themselves or their children. If only they'd take advantage of such 'great opportunities' as several minimum wage part-time jobs without any benefits that still don't pay the bills because the Repugs have shipped a lot of previously good-paying union jobs with benefits overseas. 

The fact is that CHIP is only available "in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid." Did you hear that Hatch? These families are working and earning money and can't qualify for Medicaid. They are not at all like your fake characterization because it's based on a failed ideology that refuses to accept reality.

See the CHIP handbook for more facts about the program.
