Guess What Today Is?
First of all, the day I finally return to doing my blog. Second, it’s the day you should do something important. What follows was sent around by Joseph Rogers of the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania, where I now work.
Take 5 Minutes: Call Your Senators and Rep Now!
Tell them You are Counting on Them to Deliver
All five Congressional committees of jurisdiction have passed a
healthcare reform bill. Several provisions of interest to community mental health and addiction providers have been included thus far but now, it’s crunch time: negotiations are in progress that have a direct impact on whether these provisions will remain in the bills to be voted on by the House and Senate.Today is National Call-In Day for Health Care Reform. Take 5 minutes to call your Senators and Representative to tell them that you are counting on them to vote YES on health care reform and deliver a bill that includes comprehensive mental health and addiction benefits. Don’t postpone until later in the day: CALL NOW!

i did something important today. I celebrate the 2nd anniversary of my blog, which wouldn’t have been possible if you and another blogger hadn’t started putting up pieces I wrote.
Love you Liz.

Thanks Liz, I responded to my Senators several days ago.
I’m glad to see your back and working. Good luck.
Warmly,

Congratulations on your new job at MHASP. I have known Susan and Joseph for ten years plus. They do great work!!
Welcome back, Liz. This sounds like a great job for you!
Good luck.
I was presently surprised when, signing up for my 2010 health benefits at work, I saw that because of Ted Kennedy’s Mental Health parity law, there is no limit on mental health visits.
That’s one for us!
