Action Alert: Call Congress Today to Support Kids' Health Care

Call Congress Today to Support Kids' Health Care
c/o Coalition on Human Needs:

Call Now to Support Kids' Health Care
1-866-544-7573

Soon, Congress will vote on the State Children's Health Care Program (SCHIP), which provides quality, affordable health care to 6 million children whose parents work, but can't afford insurance. With SCHIP, kids get doctor visits, medicine and the care they need. Without Congressional action, it will expire at the end of September.

Leaders in Congress are working to pass legislation to renew SCHIP and cover millions more uninsured kids whose parents can't afford private premiums. Everybody's for that, right?

Wrong. President Bush is threatening to veto SCHIP.

America's children should come first!

Please call 1-866-544-7573 and tell your members of Congress to support legislation to ensure that at least 4 million more kids, who would otherwise be uninsured, get the health care they need and oppose President Bush's threatened veto.
