We Need YOUR Help!!!!
Let's Make HR 5936 a law!In May, HR 5936 was introduced as the first federal bill for alopecia areata patients. If passed, HR5936 would require Medicaid to pay for one scalp prosthesis annually for those with the most serious forms of alopecia areata. Because many private health care plans base their coverage decisions on Medicaid and Medicare, enactment of HR 5936 will make iteasier for all people with alopecia areata to obtain coverage for hair prosthesis.
HOW YOU CAN TAKE ACTION
Build Support: Now that Hr 5936 has been introduced, it is OUR job to build support for it in Congress. You do that by contacting your representitive in Congress today and urging him/her to co-sponsor HR 5936.
Co-Sponsorship is Vital: Co-sponsoring a bill is how a Representitive demonstrates his/her public support for a bill. The more co-sponsors, the more support a bill has in congress and the greater the chance it will become law.
WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CO-SPONSORS, A BILL WILL BE DROPPED.
Find Your Representitive: To obtain the name and contact information of your Representitive, visit www.house.gov and enter your Zip+4 in the upper left corner. Please send your message by email, fax, letter, phone call or in a meeting.
