There was much, much more to this package, with the childrens' cancer being the most heartwrenching cut.

I will have to try to find the article. It talked about early breast & cervical cancer detection, funding for kids on Medicaid go get out-of-stste treatments, etc. If I find the article again, I will post it.

Tyia!

The Senate can't act alone, can it? At least, thats what they told me in Schoolhouse Rock.

Here is a comment on that link.

"SNIP..........

OP
And to clarify, this does not need to go back to the house because the house had already technically passed a bill that approved the funding. As I understand it, it was just later intended to be merge into the main CR bill.

After it was cut from the CR, the Dem senators were then able to save the funding by just approving an earlier standalone bill which had already passed the house

..........SNIP"

It all seems pretty vague. Here is a link to another OP on the topic:
