Unlike the emails I've been getting from team Trump this one wants me to call on behalf of children's health. The entire Trump family wants money from me and Hillary wants me to support health insurance. What a contrast and take notice that not one time are they asking for any money.
The true measure of a community is how we treat our children.
(name omitted) --
These days, bipartisanship sounds like a dream of the past, but when we first passed the Children's Health Insurance Plan in 1997, we did so with support on both sides of the aisle -- and gave millions of children, pregnant women, and families the security of knowing they had access to critical care.
We came together because we understood that the true measure of a community is how we treat our children. Whether we invest in them and give them an opportunity to live up to their God-given potential.
But then, more than 60 days ago, the Republican-controlled Congress let CHIP, which has been reauthorized on a bipartisan basis every year for the last 19 years, expire -- leaving nine million children and families worried about their access to health care. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans rushed to pass so-called tax reform -- a giveaway for those who least need it.
That's unacceptable. And it gets worse. During the campaign, I warned that the Republicans would come after social security, Medicare, and Medicaid -- and now they are. Imagine buying a Rolex and paying for it with money you saved to take care of your kids. That's what Congress is doing with your tax dollars.
Today, I'm asking you to call your Representative and Senators at (202) 224-3121 and ask them to renew the Children's Health Insurance immediately.
I'm thinking of people like Ryan Moore, who was seven when I first met him, wearing a full body brace and smiling from ear to ear. He inspired me and kept me going through the hardest moments of the fight for health reform. And like Sara Soltani, whose cochlear implant was covered under the Children's Health Insurance Program -- a fact she didn't realize until her mother told her as she was preparing to graduate from high school and head off to college, her life full of promise and possibility.
There are countless children who got the chance to grow up, to dream big, to have the lives and the futures they deserved. Gregory, we've come too far to turn back now.
Call your Representative and Senators and let them know that you're counting on them to extend the Children's Health Insurance Program: (202) 224-3121
There's a lot to be frustrated by right now, to say the least. Here's something that we should be able to fix together.
Yours,
Hillary
