(6,855 posts)Seems old libs have bored the young ones with our petty concerns about children's health. Some people I work with are too young to know that Medicaid was not always there throughout one's childhood and that the Feds supplement the states to provide coverage through CHIPS.

(6,855 posts)We should be running ads during the View, The Voice, all popular women's programs, asking viewers to call their Congressmen to reinstate CHIPS. We need groundswell of activism to get this back. We need testimonials from doctors and nurses demonstrating the financial losses suffered by clinics who treat poor children.
The DNC needs to run issues ads. CHIPS. Number 1, Medicaid 2, ACA premiums 3.
