Take Action on Children's Health Care Coverage
by Faithful Progressive
Coalition on Human Needs:
YOUR WORK ON CHILDREN'S HEALTH PAID OFF!
LETS KEEP IT UP . . .
Thanks to your calls to Congress & our collective efforts we earned a major victory for children's health. Last week, before going on recess, the House and Senate each passed separate bills to renew the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Both bills commit additional funding for the program over five years and ensure that millions more children will have access to health care.
But our work is not over. The President has threatened to veto these bills and send millions of children to the ranks of the uninsured. We must keep this from happening by securing enough Congressional support to override a veto and by convincing the President that providing children health insurance is the right thing to do.
Build support for SCHIP and send a strong message to our leaders on children's health:
Sign an SEIU petition to Congress requesting full funding for children's health.
Join First Focus' letter writing campaign directed to the First Lady Laura Bush
