Advocacy Success: Children’s Health Coverage Extension Passes

Thank you to those of you who shared our action alert, called or emailed your members.

Our friends at March Of Dimes said it best:

Victory — Congress Passes Two Year CHIP Extension!

 

 

 

Last night, the Senate voted 92-8 to extend funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through September 2017!  The bill is now in the President’s hands, who has pledged to sign it into law.
This victory for women, children and families wouldn’t be possible without the perseverance of our dedicated supporters like you.  With this law, quality, affordable health coverage will continue to be available to millions of children and pregnant women.  For more information, seehttp://www.marchofdimes.org/advocacy/childrens-health-insurance-program-(chip).aspx.
Thank you for all your work to tell Congress how important CHIP is to families across our country – it made a huge difference!
