Subject: Action Alert: It's Time for Parity
Help Make Mental Health Parity a Reality!
You and other advocates across the country did good work! Broad support for
ending health-care discrimination helped pave the way for this year's unanimous
Senate passage of S. 558 and approval by three committees of H.R. 1424, the
Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Equity Addiction Act of 2007. (See the Bazelon
Center's latest Mental Health Policy Reporter for a side-by-side chart).
However, few legislative days remain. Lawmakers need your support to enact
meaningful mental health parity legislation this year. The message is clear.
Without delay, Congress must assign priority to mental health parity that
will help millions of Americans.
Fuel the momentum. Phone or email your Senators and Representative today.
Go to congress.org and enter the name or the house and your state to find your
lawmaker's phone number. If you can't phone and must use email, click on
the link to the member's own website and email through the link there (outside
emails are often ignored!).
Please keep the heat on and demand enactment of a strong parity bill this year.
