Today Health Care and Other Basics for Kids Hang in the Balance - 3/11/2010 -

Your Representative in the U.S. House will Vote on Health Reform in the Days Ahead 
 
Tell U.S. House Representatives to Pass Comprehensive Health Reform
  
 
What's happening:
Health reform, the best chance our nation has to decide whether 8 million uninsured children--1 in 5 of whom live in Texas--will get coverage, needs your help at this moment more than ever. As our national affiliate, Voices for America's Children, reports:
 
Within the week, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to determine whether health care reform lives or dies in America. Without a House vote on the Senate-passed health bill, children and their families will not see comprehensive health reform this year. ...

American children and families will benefit only if the House passes the Senate health bill... [, which] bolsters Medicaid/CHIP, covers the uninsured, and helps children and families in countless other ways.
 
Why It Matters:
 
***TO ENSURE HEALTH REFORM PASSES,
CALL YOUR U.S. REPRESENTATIVE NOW, TOLL-FREE AT 1-866-277-7617
***

Tell your member of the U.S. House you support their vote to pass the Senate health reform bill. Voices suggests you also remind your representative:
 
Only a comprehensive bill can ensure children and their families get access to high-quality health care. ...Compromise can happen later, but uninsured children need help now.
