Jeffrey letter: CHIP program

Congress should reconsider the $10 million that the House suggests we should budget for a border wall, that will not protect us from undocumented citizens or terrorists. Instead, please consider budgeting money for all citizens’ health and well-being. Support the Senate Bill to reinstate the CHIP program and give 35,000 Idaho children back their healthcare.

Elizabeth Jeffrey, Hailey
