Assembly Speaker's Proposal to Cover All Kids

Yesterday, Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez revealed his proposal to insure all of California's children – part of his larger health care reform plan. Californians for Healthy Kids applauds the Speaker and his staff for strong leadership on behalf of children's health.

Please Host a Speech-Viewing Party!

Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership on kids' coverage will also be essential to reaching the goal of covering all kids in 2007.  Please join faith leaders, children's advocates and business organizations in calling on Governor Schwarzenegger to lay out a plan to achieve health insurance for all California's kids as part of his State of the State speech. 

There are three steps to be a part of this effort:

  1. Organize a "Speech-Viewing Party" and register your party at www.fulfillthepledge.org!!
    Let Governor Schwarzenegger know you'll be watching his speech to hear his plan to cover all California children. 

  2. Watch the Governor's State of the State address on January 9th with family and friends.

  3. Visit www.fulfillthepledge.org and vote on Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership and commitment to covering all of California's children.

763,000 uninsured California kids can't wait!  Join us and make sure they receive the health coverage every child needs.
