While many supporters of this bill claim that children will not be harmed by the changes made in budget reconciliation, this is just not true.<br><br>First Focus Campaign for Children asserts it is impossible to achieve the level of funding cuts set forth in the bill without causing direct and indirect impacts to the health and well-being of children and families. This Children&#8217;s Week conversation highlights the outlined changes to Medicaid, SNAP, and tax credits, and shares what these proposals could mean for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
