NHPCO and Hospice Action Network are happy
to announce that the Rural Access to Hospice Act was reintroduced in the US
House of Representatives yesterday by Congressman Ron Kind (D-WI) and
Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (R-IN). It had been reintroduced in the Senate
last month by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV).
Now that it is fully reintroduced in both chambers, it is imperative that
Members of Congress hear from you!
We have
reason to believe that a rural health package is being discussed in Congress,
and we need to show that the Rural Access to Hospice Act has wide bipartisan
grassroots support to bolster our argument to include this bill in the
package. Can
you please complete our Action Alert, and then share it with your staff and
network?
Once you
have completed the Action Alert, please consider completing a Letter to the Editor
as well. Members of Congress read their local papers daily, and it influences
their decision making if they see specific pieces of legislation mentioned in
their local papers. Complete this pre-written Letter to the Editor to help
spread the word!
