Get Presidential Candidates to Talk About Kids' Healthcare During the Final Debate
Target: Bob Schieffer, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent

Sponsored by: Children's Health Fund
Children need a voice in this election! Nearly 9 million children are currently uninsured and an estimated 20 million do not have access to comprehensive healthcare.
With the economy taking over the headlines, how often have Presidential candidates Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain addressed children's healthcare? For example, how will they make it easier for working families to afford insurance? What will they do to make sure there are enough primary care and family doctors in the future? Will they address the massive shortages in pediatric mental health providers? And what will they do to improve access to pediatric dentists?
Be a voice for children. Sign the petition to make sure children's healthcare issues are at the forefront during the final presidential debate on October 15. Your letter will go directly to the Bob Schieffer, moderator of the next and last debate of the presidential campaigns.
