Hello,
As you probably know, that there are more than 9 million uninsured children in the United States, while millions more are underinsured. This means that millions of children in America can't see a doctor on a regular basis, can't afford prescription drugs, and can't get preventive care, among other services. They are less likely to do well in school, and more likely to encounter problems with their social and emotional development. This is simply unacceptable. That's why Families USA (the organization where I work) has joined the Campaign for Children's Health Care, a new public education campaign designed to raise awareness about this crisis. The Campaign is dedicated to making comprehensive, affordable, high-quality health coverage for all of America's children a top priority. I urge you to be a part of this exciting multi-year effort to bring about health coverage for all children. You can start with a very simply act: sign our online petition and then pass it on to everyone you know: http://ga3.org/campaign/petition_mai...=gg_kidshealth This campaign has only just begun, so we'll have plenty of ways for you to get involved in the near future. In the meantime, the single most important thing you can do is sign the petition and help us recruit as many activists as possible. Do you have a minute to sign the petition and pass it along to your friends? http://ga3.org/campaign/petition_mai...=gg_kidshealth You can find these resources and learn more about the Campaign online at http://www.childrenshealthcampaign.org. After you've signed the petition, please urge as many people as possible to sign it and join the Campaign. The more activists we recruit, the more successful we'll be in reaching our goal: high-quality, affordable health insurance for all children! Thank you in advance for your help, Luis Hestres eAdvocacy Coordinator, Families USA |
