Federal Spending Cuts Threaten Children’s Health

President Trump signed a big spending law. This law may hurt babies and young children. These children are very weak and need help from the government.

Some rich families will get help from this law. But programs for poor families with babies will get less money. The government helps young children, but schools get money from states.

The law helps Trump's plans for border security. It takes money from programs like food stamps and Medicaid. These programs help poor families with kids by over one trillion dollars.

The new law gives some money to families with children. Parents can get money back on taxes for each child. Newborns will get \"Trump Accounts\" with $1,000 from the government.

Some people say the new money does not help enough. They worry that the next budget will cut more programs for parents and babies. Medicaid helps many Americans get health care, and this new law will cut it.
