Late last year, President Bush vetoed legislation that would provide much-needed health care coverage to low-income children. The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (H.R. 3963) would expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to cover 10 million children.
Over the past ten years, SCHIP has helped reduce the number of uninsured children in America by one-third. However, millions of children remain uninsured or underinsured.
The House has scheduled a vote to override the President’s veto for January 23.
Contact your representatives in Congress TODAY!!
Tell Congress to stand up for our most vulnerable children – override the President’s veto of the SCHIP bill.
