Ask Your Representative to Vote for HR 4213 The clock is ticking on state budgets. Nearly all states are finalizing their 2011 budgets that begin on July 1. And many have already factored in an increase in the federal government’s share of Medicaid (known as the federal medical assistance percentage [FMAP]). You’ve heard it all before! All of the used, abused, and overused words, phrases, and names associated with Health Care Reform. We’ve sacrificed our blood, sweat, and tears to ensure people with disabilities and other pre-existing conditions––and all Americans––have access to affordable healthcare coverage. Our fight is almost over, but don’t take your gloves off just yet. Now is the time to take action. The final days of the healthcare reform movement in Congress are upon us. Only you – the true voice of America – can help healthcare reform cross the finish line. In a move that has even the most experienced political pundits scratching their heads, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) removed Medicare provisions from the bipartisan negotiated jobs bill that was released last week. 
Over the past week, you may have seen news reports suggesting that healthcare reform is in serious jeopardy. We must insist that Congress complete Healthcare Reform NOW!
MoreTake action on this issue.Too many Americans with disabilities and chronic conditions are not well served by the current system and will make tremendous gains through enactment of healthcare reform. Unless Congress acts, people on Medicare who need wheelchairs and other durable medical equipment will soon have a harder time getting the equipment they need.
It’s not home loan foreclosure that is the biggest housing crisis facing Americans with severe disabilities today. We have more basic problems. The House is about to vote on their health reform bill. The time to call and have your voice heard in support of people with disabilities and health care is NOW.

Republican Health Reform Proposal. Health Reform Comparison Tools People with disabilities should not have to choose between staying in their homes and getting the services they need. Sad to say, that is what happens way too often.
If you act now, we can change this – so people with disabilities can get needed services and supports that let them stay in their own homes. |
