(Washington) According to a release from Congressman Chris Deluzio’s office on Thursday, Deluzio introduced the Shipbuilding Innovation Act. This would help the United States to improve their shipbuilding industry, because China is currently making ships almost a hundred times more than the rate of the United States. The bill would also keep watch on certain ships around the country and work on propulsion and non-traditional power systems.

(Harrisburg, PA) As President-elect Donald Trump takes office, federal safety-net programs such as Medicaid, CHIP and SNAP, which support eighty million low-income Americans, may face cuts to reduce inflation and debt. Forty percent of the child population is covered through Medicaid in Pennsylvania. Carolyn Myers with Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children says Medicaid has been instrumental in reducing the child uninsured rate. Cuts to the program will threaten coverage and benefits to the one point two million children currently enrolled in Pennsylvania. Myers emphasizes that Medicaid enrollment is open year-round, allowing families to access essential health care. For support, visit the Compass website or call 1-877-385-8930. She highlights that health-care coverage has significantly improved children’s health and graduation rates, and cutting funding could jeopardize these vital benefits.
