Support children's health insurance

The president's veto of federal legislation to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Plans is an historic setback for millions of children and families who need medical insurance.

No government program has been more successful in helping children receive critical preventative care, including immunizations, hearing and vision exams, and regular checkups, particularly in California. We all know that healthy children are much more likely to succeed in school and to become strong contributors to our democratic society.

Please join with the California State PTA in urging all of our California legislators to overturn this veto and support health insurance for our children. Sep Whaley Member, California State PTA Moorpark
