NETWORK urges Congress to take swift action to fund the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to ensure health coverage for 8.9 million children who rely on the program.
NETWORK urges Congress to protect the Prevention and Public Health Fund. Repealing this fund will leave funding gaps in essential public health programs that states use to keep communities healthy and safe.
NETWORK urges the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to prioritize outreach and enrollment efforts for the 2018 open enrollment period.

16. Specific lobbying issues
NETWORK believes a strong and prosperous society requires everyone to contribute. Without taxes there would be no public education and health systems, safe communities, secure retirements, reliable transportation systems, breakthrough research for medical cures, clean renewable energy, and an economic security system to protect and boost struggling families.
NETWORK believes the current federal tax system allows and encourages the wealthy and corporations to avoid paying their fair share of taxes and is fundamentally unjust. To create an economy that works for all, the wealthy and corporations should pay more in taxes than they pay now.
NETWORK believes corporations derive enormous benefits from the public investments and protections that our tax dollars support and they have a responsibility to contribute. The tax incentives for multinational corporations to shift jobs and profits offshore to avoid taxation should be eliminated, which would level the playing field for small businesses and domestic corporations
For decades, wealth and income have grown more and more concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. NETWORK opposes any tax plan that provides tax relief for wealthy individuals and further skews the economy and the tax code away from the vast majority of working people.
NETWORK opposes President Trumps tax plan because it is regressive and provides massive tax relief to the very wealthy and big corporations.
NETWORK supports expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit for younger low income workers and workers with grown children who are currently taxed into poverty.
NETWORK supports expanding the Child Tax Credit by making the credit fully refundable and indexing the credit to make it more accessible for low income children.
NETWORK supports reform of the Mortgage Interest Deduction. This tax incentive costs the federal government $70 billion a year and largely benefits the highest-income families. Those funds should be reinvest in housing program for low income families and to create a new renter tax credit to help the lowest-income renters afford decent, stable housing.

NETWORK believes that the rules of the global economy must be ones that work for the benefit of all, rather then the privileged few and corporate interests. The goal of U.S. trade policy should be to promote sustainable development that mutually benefits all members of society.
NETWORK supports a renegotiation of NAFTA which is transparent and focuses on increasing protections for all workers, including the ability of workers to unionize, increases environmental protections, increases food security for vulnerable farmers particularly in developing countries, limits corporate control of tribunals and encourage access to medicines by rejecting industry efforts to increase periods of patent protection or data exclusivity.
