Campaign for Children's Health Care Seeks to Make Expanded Health Coverage for Children a National Priority
Families USA:
The Campaign, in which Families USA is playing a leadership role, seeks to raise public awareness about the more than 9 million uninsured children in this country.
"It is high time that the 9 million uninsured children in this country get health care coverage," said Ron Pollack, Executive Director of Families USA. "Lack of health care impedes their ability to perform well in school, lead healthy and active lives, and the opportunity to be productive citizens.
Among those activities are town hall meetings connected nationally by satellite, a national essay contest for school children about the importance of health coverage, the release of a series of policy reports, grassroots events in communities across the country, a Washington lobby day, and a national online petition urging expanded health coverage for all children.
It is nonprofit and nonpartisan and advocates for high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans.
