Send an Urgent Message to Your Senators Today!

Today more than 8 million children lack health coverage and millions more are underinsured in the richest nation on earth! Yet the House of Representatives has just passed a bill that would leave millions of children worse rather than better off after health reform. The same dangerous outcome looms in the Senate unless you become a Champion for Children's Health. Send an urgent message to your Senators today, demanding that all children must be better off after health reform by ensuring the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is kept and strengthened in health reform legislation.

Urge your Senators to support the amendments Senator Casey will offer that will ensure real child health reform.

Four simple ways you can contact your Senators and be a Champion for Children's Health today!
