Help Us Ensure Health Reform Doesn't Leave People with Disabilities Behind!
As the health reform process continues, it becomes more and more important that we advocate for our community not to be left out! People with disabilities are some of the worst served by the current system, with pre-existing condition exclusions and lack of sufficient coverage keeping us out of the private insurance markets. People with disabilities need reform that will include the coverage we need and make needed changes to Medicaid to ensure that people with disabilities are not segregated into institutions as a pre-condition for receiving support. Please consider donating to our cause in order to help us to advance this essential work on the key national policy issue of our time.
Thank you and, as always, Nothing About Us, Without Us!
