Election 2008
Health Coverage for All Children Campaign


Tell Your Candidates Nine Million Uninsured Children Need a Health Coverage "Bailout"

At a time when the federal government is willing to spend billions bailing out big business, but refuses to give a helping hand to struggling families, it's clear that we need to reassess our priorities as a nation. Nearly nine million children in America do not have health coverage and millions more are underinsured. The elections in November provide an extraordinary opportunity to bring attention to this critical issue. We must seize this occasion to ensure that every candidate running for a seat in the U.S. Congress understands that providing coverage for all children is something the American people want, that our children and nation can't wait, and that each candidate's commitment to health coverage for all children is a condition of your vote.

Watch Karim's "call to action" video asking child advocates to step up, take action and ask Congressional candidates for a health coverage "bailout" for the nearly nine million uninsured children in America. Then, take action and send an email to your candidates. It just takes a few minutes and we make it easy for you!
