How Can You Help?
1. Call Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at the phone numbers below:
Speaker Pelosi (202) 225-0100
Majority Leader Reid (202) 224-3542
If you aren't sure of what to say, just say this:
"Hi, My name is _______________. I am calling from (Your city, your state). I want you to know that health care reform that does not stop autism insurance discrimination is unacceptable. People with autism deserve coverage for the treatments and therapies that will help their medical condition. Thank you."
Be patient. Be polite. Keep dialing until you get through to them. Then do it again.
2. Send an email message to Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi. Urge them to watch the Autism Speaks ad and end autism insurance discrimination. Make sure to add some personal information on why this is such an important issue for you and your family. Be sure to let them know that all children with autism from coast to coast deserve appropriate insurance coverage.
Health care reform that does not stop autism insurance discrimination is unacceptable.
