January 26: AAHSA's Congressional Call-In Day

Today, January 26, is AAHSA's designated Congressional Call-In Day. The group is urging all members of the aging and disability communities to call their representative and two senators to urge them to pass healthcare reform as soon as possible.

AAHSA has even provided a sample script for callers to use:
"Hello. I am calling to tell Sen./Rep _______________ that this is the time for Congress to pass meaningful healthcare reform that includes the CLASS Act, Medicare payment updates for nursing homes and home health providers and improvements in Medicaid home- and community-based services. Elders, people with disabilities and all American families cannot wait any longer for relief."

You can reach your representative and senators by dialing (800) 828-0498.
