Idea of the Week: Call Congress to PASS C.H.I.P. and increase advertising and the enrollment period in the Health Care Markets.

It is the zenith of incompetence and immorality that Congress adjourned without passing an extension of the Children's Health Insurance Program. This program helps nine million children. What is Congress thinking leaving town without taking care of some of our most vulnerable? Call your Senator and Representative and tell them to get with the program.

It is also the height of meanness to make it harder to enroll in the Health Care Markets by measures like having the system down for maintenance, reducing the advertising budget,  and shortening the enrollment period. Now that Mr. Million Dollars in charter flights is no longer the Secretary of Health and Human Services, maybe some humans will prevail upon the department to change its ways. Call your Senator and Representative to get these stringent measures loosened.
