Take Action: One Email Can Help 9 Million Uninsured Children
Jul 3, 2007

At any moment, the Senate is expected to make a decision that will affect millions of children nationwide. Over the past 10 years the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) has helped to reduce the number of uninsured children in America, but nearly 9 million children are still uninsured and millions more are underinsured. Funding for SCHIP expires this year, and your Senators will have the opportunity to vote to expand health care funding to cover ALL children. It’s an important step in reaching Susie’s campaign goal of finding a solution for the 9 million uninsured children in America.

But first, at least 60 of the 100 Senators must agree to bring SCHIP legislation to the Senator floor. Make sure your voice is heard today on this important vote by e-mailing your Senators and telling them to vote "yes" to bring SCHIP legislation to the Senate floor and to expand SCHIP funding to cover all children. It's easy, it only takes a few minutes, and children cannot wait.

And if you haven’t already, check out the latest ads from the Children’s Defense Fund highlighting why passing this legislation this year is so important.
