Please take a few minutes to Fax your U.S. Representative

We really need some more momentum. If your legislator is not listed below then please take a few minutes to do the following:

1) Look up your U.S. Representative at www.congress.gov

- simply enter your zip code of your home and each office location to find your U.S. Congressman/woman

2) Fill out a fax cover page adressed to: "Health LA" for each of your representatives and note:
"Please co-sponsor HR 3790, a bi-partisan budget neutral repeal of the flawed DMEPOS Bidding Program. This bill will give congress the same savings that the program was projected to give, without unnecessarily eliminating 90% of the local providers and without limiting a patient's access to quality products and timely services. The bidding has already begun and we need support as quickly as possible."

3) Print out the attached page and fax to their local and Washington, DC offices

If you have additional time, call your congressman/woman and ask for the Health Legislative Assistant and talk to them about co-sponsoring HR-3790.

If you are interested and need help reply back to this email and we will be happy to assist you.
Thanks in advance and let us know about your progress!!!
