Action Alert: Help Secure Health Care Access for More of Florida’s Children!

Bill: HB 7 | SB 282

House bill sponsored by Rep. Jose Felix Diaz
Co-Sponsors: Rep. Daphne Campbell,  Rep. Janet Cruz, Rep. Manny Diaz, Rep. Joe Gibbons, Rep. Dave Hood, Rep. José Javier Rodríguez, Rep. Joe Saunders, Rep. Linda Stewart
            Senate bill sponsored by Sen. René García
Co-Sponsor: Sen. Anitere Flores

Thanks to the active support and engagement of Floridians, like you, members of the Health Innovation Subcommittee in the Florida House voted unanimously in favor of House Bill 7!

While this is a great first step, there is still a long way to go to ensure that more than 25,000 of our lawfully residing immigrant children have access to high-quality, affordable health care.

Please join KidsWell Florida and help us make sure that our state’s lawmakers pass House Bill 7 and Senate Bill 282 during Florida’s 2014 legislative session. 

These bills would ensure that more of our state’s children have access to the medical care they need to stay healthy. It would also help us reduce the costs of uncompensated care in our state’s health care system.

In short, these bills make sense for our children and for Florida.

If you agree, please help us get these bills passed through the next committee by calling or e-mailing members of the Florida House Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee and the Florida Senate Committee on Health Policy asking them to do the right thing for Florida’s children.
All children deserve the best possible opportunity for a full, healthy childhood.

Together, we can make that happen.
