Lucas,
If Republicans in Congress don’t figure out a plan soon, 1.3 million
children in California are at risk of losing their health insurance.
Nearly 9 million of our nation’s most vulnerable children rely on
the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — but federal
funding for the program expired back on Sept. 30. And Republicans in Congress
have still not come up with a long-term solution for how to pay for the program.
House and Senate Republicans were too busy focusing on their cruel tax
bill for the mega rich at the end of the year to work on bipartisan legislation
that will help save children’s lives. Talk about misplaced priorities.
Add your name now and tell Republicans in Congress to get their priorities
straight and fund CHIP immediately.
These children and their families are desperately waiting for Congress
to act. Without funding, children across the country could lose access
to vital health care, from checkups to emergency services, starting this month.
Plain and simple: We need to find a solution for adequate, long-term funding for CHIP.
Add your name to tell Congress: fund children’s health insurance now.
Thank you,
Julia
