Act Today for Children's Health Insurance

Children's_Health_Insurance_Program_email.jpgWe have a narrow window of opportunity to take a big step toward fixing health care. But it has to happen today.

Congress is getting ready to re-introduce a bill that would extend health insurance to more than 4 million children currently without coverage. It's the same bill that was supported by Democrats and Republicans in 2007, but vetoed by President Bush.

Will you call your members of Congress and urge them to support the reauthorization and strengthening of the children's health insurance program? Click here to get connected to your representative: www.seiu.org/kidshealth

Strengthening the children's health insurance program isn't just a victory for the 9 million kids who can't afford basic care; it's a huge win in the movement to fix health care for all Americans. Winning a quick health care victory will send a message to the American people that Congress is making health care reform a top priority.

On January 20th, George Bush leaves the White House for the last time and President Obama takes his seat in the Oval Office. Let's have children's health insurance on his desk, ready for his signature.
