It is about grandstanding and optics to them. They know that if CHIP was not properly funded, a lot of their voters in red states would suffer. Trump is making noises about effectively defunding the ACA, but I promise you that the GOP will work with Dems to find a workaround. Why, lots of their voter suffer badly if they don't. I see one guy sometime, rabid GOP and Trump voter. Looks like he is on SSI and Medicaid. The guy looks like he needs both programs. I see other GOP and Trump voters that are just as bad off as the rabid Trump guy.
