Tell Congress to save health insurance for children

I join the sixty Maine legislators who signed this letter in urging Maine's Congressional delegation to work with their colleagues to reauthorize funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and protect health insurance coverage for nearly 9 million American children, including 22,310 Maine children. goo.gl/y5ZfbW

Why is this important?

Congress let funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) lapse on September 30, endangering continued health care coverage for nearly 9 million American children, including 22,310 Maine children. Sixty Maine legislators signed a letter to Maine's Congressional delegation in response. State Senator Rebecca Millett asks Mainers to join them in urging quick action by Congress to reauthorize CHIP.
