ACT NOW to Push for Mental Health Parity!


June 25, 2007


U.S. Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM), Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) and Mike Enzi (R-WY), Senate sponsors of federal parity legislation (S 558), are expected to quickly press for action on a revised version of their bill to provide equivalent health plan coverage for the treatment of mental illness.


Action Required:


Contact both of your U.S. Senators and urge them to support immediate passage of S 558 and oppose any amendments to weaken the legislation.


Call or Email your Senators today! A special toll-free Parity Hotline has been set up 1-866-parity4 (1-866-727-4894). The hotline reaches the U.S. Capitol switchboard, which can connect you to your Senators.
