Help us take our health care message to Capitol Hill tomorrow


Posted by Katy Beh Neas on October 19th, 2009

Hundreds of Easter Seals volunteers and clients are heading to Capitol Hill tomorrow to tell Congress that health care can’t ignore families living with disabilities. Our message is clear: families with disabilities should have affordable health care that provides the services they need, when they need them.

We’ll be visiting our legislators and asking them to support health care legislation that includes:

  • Coverage for pre-existing conditions, guaranteed coverage renewal, and no annual or lifetime caps.
  • Benefits like rehabilitative and habilitative services, medical equipment and devices, and mental health services.
  • Affordability provisions, so that all people, including those with disabilities, can receive the health care they need to live, learn, work, and play in their communities.

Send a message to Congress voicing your support, and help reinforce Easter Seals’ message as we head to Capitol Hill to meet with legislators.

And make sure you get our updates during our Capitol Hill Day! Join us on Facebook and Twitter. And if you’re already on Twitter, help us spread the word by tweeting about Easter Seals Capitol Hill Day by using the #CapHill09 hashtag.

Together, I know we can make our message to Congress heard loud and clear!
