The USDA has adequate emergency funding available to float SNAP in November. There’s significant overlap between the households that receive SNAP/WIC and are covered by Medicaid, Medicaid expansion, or receive subsidies to make their ACA plan affordable. This isn’t just about SNAP.
I agree that this is more than just SNAP. I used that as a reference because it is of the most discussion in my household. There are a lot of families, who don't have health insurance, that my wife still sees at her hospital. The part that gets her the most frustrated is these single mothers can't bring home their new born children because they don't have the financial ability to feed them, so the hospital won't release them.
As noted, 10,000 times before, I am not a fan of Trump and I have never voted for him. The Republicans are out of their minds with the regular budget requests, but the Democrats are holding vulnerable populations hostage for political gain by not approving the CR (first round included the continuation of several of those programs for a duration as well, but it only received 2 D votes.)
At this point I really don't care if people agree with me or not. It is the truth and more and more people are recognizing it each day.
