[IL-Talk] Advocacy Action Needed on the CONNECT for Health Act, H.R. 4206

[davant1958 at gmail.com]

Hello All,

Our Governmental Affairs unit has reached out to ask for your help. We are
urging Congress to make permanent expanded Medicare telehealth coverages
that were first introduced in 2020 and have been temporarily extended over
the past couple of years, with the most recent extension set to expire on
September 30.

Please call or write your member of the House of Representative and request
support for the CONNECT for Health Act, H.R. 4206.

When you call or email you might say: "My name is [YOUR NAME] and I want to
urge [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to support the CONNECT for Health Act, H.R. 4206.
This bill will make permanent Medicare telehealth benefits that have been
temporarily extended numerous times since 2020. 

Making these telehealth benefits permanent will significantly reduce the
travel burden on blind Americans who live in rural areas and may have
difficulty securing reliable transportation for regular physician visits.
Please cosponsor H.R. 4206. Thank you."

If you send an email,  it is suggested that you use a subject like: "Please
Cosponsor the CONNECT for Health Act, H.R. 4206" If you email, please copy
Justin Young at Jyoung at nfb.org.

If you cannot locate your House member, please reach out to Dustin or
myself.

Thanks for all you do. 

 

Denise Avant.
