Stand up for health coverage for children

Your voice counts. As the Pennsylvania State Legislature continues to negotiate the state budget for 2009–2010, it is important to remind lawmakers not to forget the children whose families cannot afford health insurance coverage.

Please take this opportunity to write your state legislators to urge them to fund Medicaid at levels that do not affect our precious asset — the children of Pennsylvania.

Making budget cuts at the expense of the health of our children is not the way to balance a budget.

Please take a moment to send a message to your state representative and state senator to urge them to preserve Medicaid funding on behalf of all our children. Inadequate Medicaid funding can lead to service and staffing reductions that will affect all our young patients.
