[Youth-list] Call-In March 6-8 On Children's Health

[Elizabeth Shack]

CALL-IN MARCH 6-8 ON Children's Health!  From our friends at Families USA 

Calls are needed this week, March 6-8, to all Senators and Representatives to tell them we need at least $60 billion in new money for the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) during Reauthorization.   Call Congress, toll-free 1-800-828-0498
  What should you say?
    
   Congress must ensure that there are at least enough funds to cover the children who are eligible for SCHIP, but not yet enrolled. To do this, we will need at least $60 billion in new federal funds over the next 5 years.

  
   No one should lose coverage because there are not enough federal funds. The $60 billion includes funding to ensure that no one currently enrolled in the program will lose coverage because of a lack of federal funds.
  Why now?
  The House and Senate Budget Committees are making decisions NOW about federal funding levels for the SCHIP program. These Senators and Representatives, and all Members of Congress, need to hear how important this program is and about the need to fully fund the program.
  Call Congress, toll-free March 6-8 at 

  1-800-828-0498
