Legislative Hearing on Health Insurance for Persons with Autism 10/   Message List

Legislative Hearing on Health Insurance for Persons with Autism 10/5 at 1:00 Chicago

Did anyone get the email I sent last week??  We have a legislative hearing on autism and insurance coverage THIS THURSDAY in Chicago and so far I have confirmations from twice as many legislators as I do from parents of kids with autism!! 

 

I know some of you may think I must be an eccentric millionaire with nothing better to do, but it’s pretty far from the truth: I have to work at my job, too, and I have the same excuses all of you have, but I’m going to be there anyway because it’s important to show up.  I hope you can make it, too. 

 

If you can’t, please send me an email with “written testimony” that I can print and copy for legislators.  If you can’t do either of these, then you really can’t complain about the lack of health insurance coverage or state support for our kids and our families, because it must not be such a big problem for you (or at least that’s what Illinois lawmakers will logically surmise in your absence).

 

Hope to see you there Thursday.  Please email me ASAP if you plan to testify.  If you can’t go, I need all written testimony no later than 3:00 p.m. Wednesday.

 

Thanks,

Two Illinois House committees will hold a subject matter hearing on autism and insurance next Thursday, October 5 at 1:00 p.m. at the Thompson Center, 100 W. Randolph, Chicago, 16th Floor, Room 16-503. 

 

If you live in Illinois, your legislators need to hear from you.  Please do whatever you can to attend and please feel free to testify and share your stories. 

 

Please contact me ASAP and let me know if you can attend.  If you cannot attend, please send me an email with your written testimony, so I can present it to the committees.
