Tell Lawmakers to Cover all Kids and Keep the Strong Investments We’ve Made

Times are tough for Oregon families.  An uncertain economy has left many across Oregon struggling just to make ends meet.

But lawmakers can help.

First, they need to finish the job and cover all kids.  Unlike many of the health problems that children face, the one that keeps over 100,000 kids from seeing a doctor because they don’t have health insurance is cureable.

And second, lawmakers must protect the smart investments they made during the last legislative session to improve the lives of Oregon’s children.  This commitment to children has just began to pay-off, and vulnerable kids and families across our state can’t afford to lose that support now.

Send a message to your elected officials today, and tell them to cover all kids and keep the strong investments we’ve made in families across Oregon.
