SUPPORT SCHIP - CALL CONGRESS TOLL-FREE ON FEB. 13th! 
From our friends at Families USA 

Currently, there are over 9 million uninsured children in this country. Nearly three quarters of them are eligible for the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) or Medicaid today, but they aren't enrolled in either program. Unless Congress is willing to let the SCHIP program die this year, it must reauthorize it. Tomorrow, February 13 call your Members of Congress and remind them of the importance of this vital program. 

TAKE ACTION

Call Congress, toll-free at 1-877-509-KIDS, and 

Tell them:


  a.. Today, SCHIP provides high quality, comprehensive, affordable health coverage to more than 4 million children who would otherwise be uninsured. These children get access to vital health care services they would not otherwise be able to afford. 
  b.. Congress must ensure that there is enough money to at least get the children who are already eligible for Medicaid or SCHIP enrolled. To do this, states will need approximately $50-$60 billion in new federal funds over the next five years. 
  c.. No child should lose health coverage because of a shortage of federal funds. The $50-60 billion includes funding to ensure that no child who is enrolled in SCHIP today--and who continues to be eligible--will lose coverage because of a shortfall in federal funds. 
  d.. For more information, check out the Medicaid and SCHIP Action Center.
Thanks for doing your part to guarantee high-quality, affordable health care for all children!
