Congress’s bi-partisan Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization bill would infuse $35 billion in new funding to help provide healthcare coverage to 10 million children nationally, 6,000 here in Rhode Island, whose working families earn too little to afford the high cost of care. The President says the bill is too costly, despite asking for millions more in new funding for the endless war in Iraq.
Every child deserves the protection access to quality health care provides. Help our delegation in the fight to win coverage for millions of children. Call your friends and family in Michigan, Ohio, New York, Missouri, Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Wyoming, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida.
