Modern Healthcare: The White House will formally ask Congress on Tuesday to roll back $7 billion in already appropriated Children's Health Insurance Program funds as part of a $15 billion rescission proposal officials are calling the largest one-time package ever requested of Congress by a president.
More than $5 billion of the CHIP funds the White House wants to cut comes from unspent funds from 2017 that White House officials say will have no impact on the program. An additional $1.9 billion in CHIP cuts would come from a contingency fund states can tap into if they enroll more children than expected, senior administration officials said Monday evening.
