Ecumen Team Members in Mankato, Minn.

Please take 3 minutes today (Wed., May 13th) and join us, people across the nation and organizations from AAHSA to AARP to Easter Seals in asking your congress person to support making long-term care reform part of health care reform so that people can live well in the places they most want to call home.

Making your voice heard is easy:

1. Call (800) 687-3813 from 8 a.m to 6 p.m. EST. You will be asked where you live and then you will be patched to one of your Senator’s offices, where you can leave a message (sample message below).

2. After you make your call, go online to this link and you can send an easy, ready-made email to your Representative and Senators. Sample 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 leadership on this issue. We must make it affordable to care. Thank you."

THANK YOU!
