·  Urge Your Senators to Include Long Term Services and Supports in Health Care Reform!

 

Dedicate 5 Minutes on May 13th to Phone Your Senators and Urge Them to Include Long-Term Supports and Services in Health Care Reform

Fixing the health care system is a top priority this year for Congress and the Obama Administration. However, there is no guarantee that long-term supports and services will be included without strong public support.

NYSACRA is working with several national disability and aging organizations to sponsor a national phone-in day to demostrate public backing for the inclusion of long-term supports and services in health care reform. The Coalition for Citizens with Disabilities is providing a toll-free number for constituents of member organizations, including our national affiliate, ANCOR,  to call their Senators.  We need to demonstrate a strong response from NYSACRA members, your constituencies and broad network. Spread the word!

Light Up Congressional Switchboards on May 13th!

Telephone Number and Simple Message:

Toll Free Number: 866-459-9232

Dail the toll-free number between 8 am and 6 pm eastern and ask to be connected with your Senators. If the line is busy, try back later. Once you have completed the call, be sure to give feedback to NYSACRA.

  • Provide the Senate office with your name, city, affiliation or any other identifying information you wish.
  • Urge your Senator to provide real health security by including long-term services and supports in health care reform legislation.

You may also call your Senators directly, by Clicking Here and entering your zip code in the box and following the simple directions.
