House to vote on stopgap spending bill that extends CHIP
by Susan Ferrechio and Robert King | Jan 16, 2018, 8:34 PM

The House will vote as early as Thursday on a measure to temporarily extend government funding until Feb. 16 and to reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program for six years.

The legislation, at this point, will not include immigration reform language or a provision to protect so-called "Dreamers" from being deported.

Republican leaders informed rank-and-file lawmakers at a meeting late Tuesday.

The legislation includes a few "sweeteners" aimed at drawing in GOP and Democratic votes, although it's unlikely to win much Democratic support.

It would also delay by two years a tax on medical devices and a tax on high-cost health plans. Another tax on Obamacare insurers would be delayed for one year.

Uh-huh.  The exemption from taxes on 'cadillac plans' for healthcare were Obama favors to unions - set to expire when he was out of office. They should let them, because that would generate outrage over the original intent of the ACA.  Let the full weight fall upon them.  This proves they have no intention of full repeal of Obamacare.
