Disciples support Comprehensive Health Care for Children
Before the end of 2007 the United States Congress must act to renew SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program). It is important that legislators hear from people of faith about this important issue.
This Comprehensive Health Care for All Children Web page has been created to provide information and advocacy resources related to the health of children living in the United States.
