Watch for ANCOR Alert Monday on Health Care and Long Term Services and Supports

ANCOR in conjunction with the alliance of some aging and disability national organizations are planning a national call-in day to Congress on Tuesday, January 26th that focuses on completing the work on health care legislation that includes vital expansions to home and community services and supports. We’ve come too far to let the ball drop now and let Congress off the hook. The alert will include a toll-free number; however, many Congressional office phone lines are swamped and we will urge you to contact your Congressional district offices if you can not get through to their offices in Washington. Congressional staff are telling us that, at this point, emails aren’t the way to reach members of Congress—staff aren’t even looking at emails with health care in subject line. We need to flood phone lines and fax machines on Tuesday.
