Dear Partners,

We know that you have been hearing from us more regularly than usual, but there is a lot going on and we want to make sure that you are aware of the most important developments.

We heard this afternoon that the House of Representatives passed the SCHIP bill by a vote of 289-139 (click here for the roll call vote).

Thanks to all of you who called your House members and advocated for passage of this bill.

We will let you know about the status of the Senate bill as soon as we have more information.

If you have any questions about the SCHIP reauthorization process, please feel free to contact me (617-275-2929, arosenthal@communitycatalyst.org) or Maia Fedyszyn (617-275-2871, mfedyszyn@communitycatalyst.org).

Sincerely,

Amy Rosenthal
Project Director
