After the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) passed the House by an overwhelming margin, Dara and Bethany Wilkerson recorded a thank you video for TrueMajority.org and USAction members.
The SCHIP program, as written, was never in jeopardy. This week's vote was for extension of the program to a wider group.
The new SCHIP revisions now, more than ever, rely on cigarette taxation for funding.
Smoke, it's for the children.
Even if you don't smoke, buy a pack of cigarettes whenever you can, most of the Federal Tax goes to SCHIP, state taxes go to fund many worthwhile programs and government projects.

If you aren't smoking, you are just un-American.

You're welcome, Dara and Bethany. It's stories like yours that exemplify why there should be universal health care in this country.
