As you have no doubt heard by now, THE critical vote on health care reform -- and the future of Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs) -- is expected to take place at the end of this week in the U.S. House of Representatives.  Please -- on your own time and using non-federal resources -- call your U.S. Representative to urge them to VOTE YES on the health care reform legislation. 

 

The health care reform bill would extend funding for F2F HICs at the current level of $5 million for an additional three years -- federal fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012.  (We are currently in FY 2010, so the bill would continue funding without interruption.)  For more information on how the bill would affect children with special health care needs, please proceed to the talking points for this call.
