CHIP – the Children's Health Insurance Program – provides health coverage for 9 million children and pregnant women, and now faces an uncertain future. Since full funding expired at the end of September, Congress has only provided stopgap budgets to this bipartisan program, putting states and families in an emergency situation.
We need to join together to #SaveCHIP – please send your letter now and ask that Congress approves full funding for this program for the next five years.
Your perspective as a nurse is so valuable to the healthcare community so I hope you'll consider adding a line or two about how important insurance coverage is for your patients.
