Mental Health Care for All? It's Your Call

1/13/2017

A national debate is raging over the future of health care. It’s our job to make sure that mental health remains at the forefront of the conversation on Capitol Hill.

The future of healthcare in America is in the hands of our elected officials. That’s why NAMI is partnering with the National Council for Behavioral Health, Mental Health America, the Addiction Policy Forum and the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance to host a national call-in day on Tuesday, Jan. 17.

Call your members of Congress, and ask them to protect Medicaid and insurance safeguards that help millions of Americans get mental health care.

Call (202) 224-3121, press #2 and enter your zip code.

 

What to say:

“As a constituent, I would like the Representative to protect people with mental illness who can’t afford to lose health coverage. Please preserve Medicaid and insurance safeguards that help people get mental health care. Thank you.”

Want to do more? Call your Senators with the same message.
