[MDPOBC] HR 4206 CONNECT for Health Act

[Sharon Maneki]

Hello All,
Please send an email asking your congressmen to support HR 4206, the
CONNECT for Health Act, asking them to cosponsor this important bill. None
of the Maryland congressmen are on this bill yet. We need to change this.
This bill will make expanded telehealth coverage permanent. As of now, it
is set to expire on September 30.

The main sponsor in the House is Representative Mike Thompson of California.

Read Justin Young's script below, and adapt it to yourself.

"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."

Please send this email by Wednesday. We need all Maryland congressmen to
cosponsor.

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.
