I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

This is very confusing, but in short:
1) For the most part working families are receiving food stamps in Democratic states, but not Republican states.
2) Trump is not just trying everything possible to stop food stamps in general, they are trying to prevent Democratic states from helping their own.
