Let's remember that H.R. 1 reduces #SNAP spending by $187 BILLION expecting to leave an estimated 1 MILLION children with reduced or eliminated assistance.
Even when the gov't reopens, let's not forget: Republicans hate children.
19% of ALL children in the US experience food insecurity.

States have 13 months to prepare for 2x eligibility for Medicaid exp. ind. as well as work requirements.
To suggest that “in the coming weeks” ~22million households will have to reapply, not including the people who have now fallen into eligibility will be apply en masse is fucking horrifying.

In no specific order, here are all the issues with this requirement that come to mind in like 2 minutes before my break ends:
1. Requiring all recipients to reapply will need to happen over time not all at once to have a chance at not crushing state office's. Watch closely how it plays out
