Save Children's Health Insurance: Sign Petition NOW!

Say YES to children

The State Children's Health Insurance Program (known as SCHIP) has been a blessing to millions of children who would otherwise be uninsured. But SCHIP ends on September 30 and President Bush has threatened to veto legislation to renew the program.

We need to protect our children, including making sure they have health coverage.
As our children head back to school, Congress must help make sure that young people have the health coverage they need to succeed. Congress can do this by passing a strong $50 billion SCHIP reauthorization. Six million children rely on SCHIP and another five million uninsured low-income children would be covered by new funding. We will not tolerate politicians playing politics with our children. We are all judged by how we treat the least among us, especially innocent children. SCHIP has been a great success with strong bi-partisan support since it began.

We expect Congress and the President to say YES to covering our children before SCHIP ends on September 30.

Please also encourage members of your group to go to the "Care For Kids: Fund Schip", sign the petition to make their voices heard on this critical issue for the community.
