Call-in Day Tomorrow for CHIP

[executrix]

The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funding expired at the end of September. This program provides 9 million children with health coverage they wouldn’t otherwise have. Without this funding, families, including older adults raising grandchildren, would have no way to pay for health care for the children in the family.

At Justice in Aging we’re supporting a the Day of Action on Wednesday, January 10 calling on members of Congress to tell them to fund CHIP.

Here’s how you can participate:

Using this toolkit, call your federal legislators at (877) 233-9025 and tell them to immediately fund CHIP for five years. Congress votes on January 19th to fund the federal government; long-term CHIP must be included when they do.
Using the toolkit, share messages on social media using #SaveChip. You’ll find key messages, state data and other resources to share.
Sign up for the Thunderclap to send a coordinated message from your social media accounts.

Please help spread the word about this Day of Action! Children and their families need affordable quality health care!

I'll post the toolkit in the next message.
