From our national partners Voices for America's Children:
The Congressional Call-in for Children's Health Happens TODAY
1.866.277.7617
Congress is consolidating health proposals now. Be a part of the national call-in day to make sure that health reform includes meaningful reform for children and their families:
Guarantee affordable, accessible, comprehensive and continuous
health care from birth to age 21.
- Do no harm. Health care reform should
keep the protections and services already in place for children,
because the last thing reform should do is risk putting kids in
worse care.
- Don’t treat children like small
adults. We must have more age-appropriate care that
devotes attention to a child’s developmental needs, like
mental, dental and behavioral health issues, modeled after
Medicaid’s Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and
Treatment service.
- Prevent disease to promote health. Invest in community-based, preventive health efforts, so we can work on wellness outside the doctor’s office.
