Support a Clean Four Year Extension of CHIP
Dear [Decision Maker],
I urge you to support a clean four year extension of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). No child in America should be denied the chance to see a doctor when he or she needs one. Please vote to protect child-specific health coverage for the more than 8 million children benefiting from CHIP. Together, Medicaid and CHIP have cut the number of uninsured children in half. We cannot afford to move backward. This should be about our children and our nation's future not about politics. Extending CHIP funding for four more years is the right thing to do for America's children and families. CHIP works. Please protect this crucial investment.
Your Constituent and Dedicated Child Advocate,
