From the Center for Public Policy Priorities: Affordable health insurance for 80,000 uninsured children is in jeopardy because state leaders think it's not a priority--for you. Last week, the Texas House blocked consideration of the CHIP buy-in bill. The Governor said he does not support it because, "That is not what I consider to be a piece of legislation that has the vast support of the people of the state of Texas." If you support the CHIP buy=in bill, state leaders need to hear from you immediately. We still have a chance today to get this done:
Call Governor Perry at 1.888.746.9714 and tell him, "I and the majority of Texans DO support a CHIP buy-in." Call Speaker Straus, Lt. Governor Dewhurst, and your representatives and tell them: "Pass the CHIP buy-in. A clear vehicle already exists in SB 841 and HB 2962."
Speaker Straus: 1.888.327.2086
Lieutenant Governor Dewhurst: 1.866.934.2619
