OH-Gov: Betty Sutton (D) Mounts Pressure On Congress To Restore Funding For CHIP

Received this e-mail today from former Rep. Betty Sutton’s (D. OH) gubernatorial campaign:

 

Trumpcare may be dead for now, but another healthcare crisis looms.

This time, it’s about the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which covers children and pregnant women. CHIP covers 9 million children nationwide and 223,583 in Ohio alone—or, at least, it did before Congress allowed the program to expire this past Saturday.

Now, they’re trying to bring it back—and they’re proposing that we pay for it with deep cuts to Medicare.

This is yet another example of how we can’t trust our current leadership in DC with things as important as our health. Add your name here to tell Congress to renew funding for CHIP.

This never should have happened in the first place. CHIP is a broadly popular bill with bipartisan support, and many of our families depend on it. But pitting one form of healthcare against another is hardly a solution.

My record on healthcare is simple and consistent. As a member of Congress, I consistently voted for CHIP and its expansion. I also consistently fought for the ACA and widespread access to healthcare without discrimination. I’m prepared to stand up to DC politicians and fight for Ohioans as governor.

Together, we’ve made our voices heard on healthcare before. It’s time to do it again. Stand with me and urge Congress to renew funding for CHIP by signing here.

Thanks for taking action on this,

Betty
