ACA’s first annual lobby day was a success!

The ACA’s first annual lobby day (June 11th) went very well. ACA activists from far and wide (NC, MO, NY, PA, DE, etc.) turned out to Washington, DC to lobby their members of Congress in support of the federal parity bill (HR 5615).

Members of Congress are increasingly aware the extent to which health insurers deny many amputees access to artificial limbs that they need to lead active and independent lives.

On June 11th, participants met their House and Senate members and legislatives staff to seek their support of House Resolution 5615, which has had bipartisan support from its introduction. The activists also discussed possible cuts to Medicare rates for orthotic and prosthetic benefits.

For those who could not make the trip out to Washington, the ACA organized a national call-in day. Activists contacted the offices of their congressional delegation to urge their support.
