Children's Health Care

This year, Arizona was the only state in the nation to refuse federal State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) money.  In a decision that defies logic, Arizona taxpayers almost lost out on a four-to-one match in federal funds. Over 36,000 low income Arizona kids almost lost their health insurance.  And thousands of Arizona families faced unnecessary trips to the emergency room and lost time from work to care for sick children.

Terry Goddard won’t make that mistake.   He’ll fight to protect Arizona families by keeping more kids insured, healthy and out of emergency rooms.  He’ll make sure Arizona taxpayers receive their fair share of federal tax dollars.  And he will never endanger the health of our children to make political points.
