IMPORTANT Legislation RE: Reconstructive Surgery-Please take 5 mins. to participate...

I learned about this tonight on the Main Forum, and since not everyone goes there, I am posting here in hopes that you will all take 5 minutes and let your voices be heard on this issue to your Congressman/woman.

Diana (in the post below) has included all the details AND a letter you can quickly and simply cut/paste and zip off to your representative.  If you will go to the link I put in her post, you can simply enter your zip code, and it will find your Rep. for you and all you have to do is put in the letter you cut and paste from Diana's post.  Add in a few bits of info, click and send.  I literally sent my letter in less than 5 minutes.

This is SUCH an important issue for us... and even for those of you who do not yet have insurance or have already had (or have not had) your surgery, please do still send your Rep. a letter and let your voice be heard on behalf of those WLS brothers and sisters still on the journey. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/a,messageboard/action ,replies/board_id,4856/cat_id,4456/topic_id,3458145/ Thanks, and help me keep this post bumped up so everybody will see it!

Done...  Wouldn't this be wonderful for all of us???  It took me longer to figure out my Congressman's info then it did to fill it out and send it.  Anyway, thanks for keeping us informed!  

hey Wendy!  Wow, you are a busy gal.  I'll get to this today!  Thanks for the letting us know.  Hope you're doing well.  Alice

Hey Alice,

Good to see you...

I have been busy and joined the Y and started water aerobics Monday.  I also signed up for 5 sessions with a fitness trainer and I'm headed out the door now to go swim and have my fitness assessment after that!! Hope you and some of the Greenville folks join us in Raleigh on 15th.  I'm only a couple of miles off 264, so come to my house and I'll take us the rest of the way to the party.

 

I sent one to Rep. Jones!!!  Thanks for posting!

Hijack!

Hey Mindy!

Are you going to be able to come to Holiday Soiree December 15th? I sure would love to actually meet you!

Wendy -

Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention. It was so easy to just cut and paste the letter into an email to Congressman Price. I'm not sure if it will happen in my lifetime, but one can hope!

Thanks again,

Barb

Thanks for sharing this post Wendy!  You're right, it's easy to electronically send a letter to your congressman.  I'm officially a FL resident, and sent my letter to Jeff Miller in FL.  It sure would be nice to see a change in the law, not to mention how nice it would be if insurance companies were forced to follow it!
