TAKE ACTION: Urge your members of Congress to protect amputees' needs in healthcare reform legislation!

The health reform battle is ramping up. It is imperative that we work hard to push for the needs of amputees. We need your help to tell members of Congress where we stand on health care.

The ACA is joining a coalition of disability rights group in calling for national call-in days. Next week we urge you to call your members of Congress and tell them not to DELAY! Our message --- we need strong comprehensive health reform that helps ALL Americans, including people with limb loss!

TAKE ACTION! On July 7th and 8th, callers can use the following toll-free number: 1-866-210-3678 to contact their representatives and senators.

We must work together to make comprehensive, high quality health care for all a reality. Help us flood the switchboards at the Capitol on July 7th and 8th. Urge your members and coalitions to call in using 1-866-210-3678.

When you call the toll free number, you will ask to speak with your representative. (if you do not know who represents you, click here)

Please, also call your senators' offices! (click here to find out who represents you in the Senate)

Any healthcare reform proposal that truly gets at improving health systems and enhancing access must address the specific needs of people with limb loss!

Talking Points
• True healthcare reform must include specific language providing access to assistive devices such as wheelchairs, prosthetics and orthotics!

• Congress must address the two-year waiting period for Medicare disability benefits.

• Adequacy of coverage is critically important. Please, oppose any that would preempt or roll-back state benefit laws.
