From Philadelphia Citizens for Children and Youth

The U.S. House of Representatives will vote on the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) bill on Tuesday (September 25th) and the Senate will vote on SCHIP by Thursday (September 27th) !

This bill will allow four million children to get health insurance who would otherwise be uninsured. It also protects children now covered so Pennsylvania will keep providing coverage to the 164,000 children currently enrolled in CHIP.

But, the President has threatened to veto it.

Your call is so important because it will take a big vote (at least two-thirds) for the House and Senate to show the President it will reject his ill-considered veto. Four million children need you to call. Tell your Representative: “I'm a constituent who thinks covering four million more uninsured children is one of the most important votes you can take. Please vote for the State Children's Health Insurance Program bill . ”
