[MD-AtLarge] Action Needed on Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act, H.R. 4853

[Sharon Maneki]

Hello All,

Maryland does not have any cosponsors for the  Medical Device Nonvisual
Accessibility Act, H.R. 4853.  We need to change this, especially on Global
Awareness Accessibility day. Please call or write your congressman
quickly.  Read the information below from John Pare.  We need the same
opportunity to manage our health care that sighted people have. Thank you
for taking quick action on this important issue.



When you call or email you might say something like:



"Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I am a constituent of [REPRESENTATIVE
NAME]. I live in [CITY, STATE]. I would like to urge [REPRESENTATIVE NAME]
to cosponsor the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act, H.R. 4853.
This legislation would ensure that blind Americans can have the same
opportunity to independently monitor their various medical needs and care
for themselves as other nondisabled Americans, thereby making us more
self-sufficient and less reliant on others for our medical care.

Thanks."



You can contact your member of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard
and asking for the office in question. The number is 202-224-3121. If you
contact your representative via email, please copy Justin Young at
jyoung at nfb.org. Your calls and emails do make a difference.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
