Trump’s health care sabotage is hurting the most vulnerable members of society: children.

For the first time in a decade, the number of uninsured children in the United States increased, thanks to the cruel health care policies of Trump and fellow Republicans

After the uninsured rate for children went down steadily during President Obama’s two terms, Trump’s health care sabotage reversed the trend, according to a new study from Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families reported by the L.A. Times.

The increase of more than a quarter million uninsured children is unsettling according to report author Joan Alker.
