Dear Dana,
Earlier today, at a press event here in Washington, a new
coalition of the largest physician, hospital, business,
insurance, pharmaceutical, and consumer organizations in the
U.S.--including Families USA--announced a groundbreaking
agreement to work together to expand health coverage for the
uninsured.
This new coalition of "strange bedfellows"--formally known as
the HEALTH COVERAGE COALITION FOR THE UNINSURED, or
HCCU--announced today a historic agreement to work together to
expand health coverage for the uninsured. These organizations,
which have often clashed on health policy, will unite in 2007 to
advocate for money in the federal budget to expand children's
health coverage.
To learn more about this new effort, visit this page on our Web
site:

The HEALTH COVERAGE COALITION FOR THE UNINSURED developed its
agreement through a consensus-building process that began in
October 2004. The goal of this effort was "to cover as many
people as possible, as quickly as possible"--starting with
children.
The agreement has two phases: The first phase, designed for
enactment in 2007 when Congress considers the SCHIP legislation,
is called the "Kids First Initiative." The second phase of the
proposal focuses on uninsured adults. The agreement includes
additional federal funding to the states for SCHIP and Medicaid
expansions. You can learn more about the plan on our Web site:

We believe this is a major step forward in dealing with the
rising number of uninsured Americans, and we hope you'll support
our efforts to make this historic agreement a success.
