Speak Now For Kids
Posted by: Lizzie
Did you know that:
- 8.8 million children in the U.S. do not have health insurance
- Insured children are more likely to receive preventative care, and therefore they get sick less often
- Many adult chronic conditions have their origins in childhood
- Even with insurance, children currently receive only 41% of preventative medical care
Speak Now for Kids is a grassroots campaign that urges parents, family members, health care providers and other advocates to tell Congress why children matter in health reform – through stories, photos and videos.
What you can do:
Visit Speak Now for Kids to:
- Learn about the campaign.
- Speak to Congress about the importance of children’s health care.
- Share the message through your own blog, Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail.
To learn more about the campaign and tweet with a representative from the National Association of Children’s Hospitals, join us this Wednesday, May 6th, from 9 to 10 p.m. eastern time on Twitter for a #SpeakNowforKids SiteWarming.
RSVP at Resourceful Mommy and spread the word! Together we can make a difference.
