黑料不打烊 Note: I want to add Ron Manderscheid鈥檚 stirring words of thanks to my own and to encourage readers to sign up for future postings from Families USA鈥ur work is far from over!
Dear All:
Last week, the so called skinny health reform bill failed in the Senate. This is a huge win for all people who are disabled, poor, or elderly, and for all Americans.
Thank you to every single one of you who called your Senators, participated in an event, or simply spread the word about how devestating the House and Senate bills would have been for all Americans.
Let’s celebrate this wonderful victory and prepare to take the next steps (see below)
Thanks again!
Ron Manderscheid, executive director, National Association of County Mental Health and Developmental Disability Directors
