Joining 400 pediatricians at #AAPAdvocacy to advocate for Congress to reject funding cuts to Medicaid/CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program)

In IL, Medicaid covers 35% of children, 40% of births, and 43% of children with special needs

Thank you, Representative Joe Wison,
for meeting with South Carolina pediatricians to discuss the importance of maintaining Medicaid funding for children. Medicaid is a health care access lifeline for children and a critical support for our children's hospitals.

Pediatricians don’t stop caring for kids when the office closes.

I’m joining 400 of my colleagues in DC to advocate for all of our children. Medicaid, food assistance programs, and immunizations are essential tools to keep kids healthy!

Rep Jim McGovern: “Republican legislators should be more afraid of their constituents than Elon Musk.” #aapadvocacy

Advocating for kids is my absolute favorite thing to do. #SaveMedicaid

Vaccine advocacy for children is more important now than ever before.
The message is pretty simple.
Vaccines are safe.
Vaccines are effective.
The vast majority of parents vaccinate their children and support vaccine requirements.
