Thanks for Your Support!
More than 5500 people connected
On
behalf of the Michigan Cover the Uninsured Network, and the over 1.2
million Michigan residents who are uninsured, I want to thank you for
your time and support in organizing the Health Expo during Cover the
Uninsured Week 2009 (CTUW).
The efforts this year to raise
awareness and take action to find a solution to the growing crisis of
the uninsured in America, and more specifically here in Michigan, were
truly amazing. More than 5,500 people attended the Health Expo this
year, and more than 750 applications were completed to enroll
individuals and families in state, county and city health insurance
programs.
The WEEK is over but our work is just beginning.
Over the next weeks and months, the Michigan Cover the Uninsured
Network will be engaging policy makers and opinion leaders in
discussing real solutions both here in Michigan and in Washington, D.C.
We
have immediate opportunities to strengthen the safety net in local
communities and insure that SCHIP and Stimulus dollars are used to
expand coverage to uninsured and underinsured families and children in
Michigan who face enormous challenges.
Again, many thanks
for your support and participation in Cover the Uninsured Week
2009. We look forward to continuing our work together on this
issue. | |
