May 13: Mark Your Calendars for Another Long-Term Care Financing Call to Congress

Please join us on May 13th for our next call-in to Congress re: making long-term care services and supports part of health care reform. Last time you helped generate 5,000 calls to Congress. We can do even better on May 13th…

Congressional committees are drafting health care reform legislation, and we expect to see their proposals over the next month. In order to ensure long-term services and supports are included in these proposals, we are inviting you to join us in a Congressional Call-In Day on May 13, 2009.

Beginning at 8 a.m. Eastern time, please call toll-free to (800) 687-3813. Tell your legislators why long-term services and supports are a must for both you and the people you serve.

Sample Phone Script

"Hello. I’m calling to ask the senator to help make sure long-term services and supports are part of health care reform. Including long-term services and supports in health care reform will achieve greater efficiency, promote personal responsibility and sustain our safety net programs like Medicaid. We need a national solution for this national problem. I thank the senator in advance for demonstrating his leadership. We must make it affordable to care. Thank you."
