Subject: Health Insurance for Kids with Disabilities is at Risk
Message body

| | Dear Dan, Last year, the Affordable Care Act became law. As a result of this new law, insurance companies can no longer refuse to cover children with disabilities and other pre-existing conditions. This provision came into effect on September 23, 2010. For kids served by Easter Seals and their families, this provision can transform a family. Prior to the law, families would lose coverage of their child with cerebral palsy, epilepsy or another condition. The only way that the family could get the services their child needed was to pay out of pocket. For many families, they had no choice but to take out a second mortgage, declare bankruptcy or have their child go without the services he or she needs to be healthy and strong. On January 12, 2011, the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on H.R.2, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Tell Congress to vote NO on H.R.2. Don't take away the guarantee of health insurance to children with disabilities. Thank you so much for your support. Sincerely, Katy Beh Neas
Vice President, Government Affairs  | |
