Heath Insurance, Children and Education

It's a known fact that a healthy, well nourished child will have a better chance for success when they head to school each day. The importance of this truth can't be overstated nor should the fact that without the CHIP program (already not renewed for 9,000,000 kids) and the ACA we are putting too many students at further risk.

In some respects CHIP and the ACA are just as critical for s,tudents as pens, notebooks, cleats, a school uniform or crayons. Nothing could be more important for that child than be healthy and able to write, play that instrument, read or run up and down the soccer field.

For the sake of students I hope that we can agree that a healthy child benefits all.
