Did you know that:

• 8.8 million children in the U.S. do not have health insurance
• Insured children are more likely to receive preventative care, and therefore they get sick less often
• Many adult chronic conditions have their origins in childhood
• Even with insurance, children currently receive only 41% of preventative medical care

Speak Now for Kids is a grassroots campaign that urges parents, family members, health care providers and other advocates to tell Congress why children matter in health reform – through stories, photos and videos.

What you can do:

Visit Speak Now for Kids to:

• Learn about the campaign.
• Speak to Congress about the importance of children's health care.
• Share the message through your own blog, Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail.

To learn more about the campaign and tweet with a representative from the National Association of Children's Hospitals, join us this Wednesday, May 6th, from 9 to 10 p.m. eastern time on Twitter for a #SpeakNowforKids SiteWarming.
