Society for Social Work Leadership in Health Care Join Thousands of Social Workers Who Shaped Public Policy For Over 100 Years!

Write Congress today about the need for Federal standards on managed care!

"Health care decisions should be made by you and your doctor, not a Board of Directors."

Use the following information as a guide to communicate your own personalized message to your representative and senator on the NEED FOR FEDERAL STANDARDS ON MANAGED CARE. Hand write your own personalized message and mail today:

Dear Senator or Representative (last name),

As a professional social worker, and consumer of health care services, I believe strongly that quality and clinically appropriate care, not cost, must be the basis for decisions regarding health, mental health, and addictions' treatment. Health care decisions should be made by consumers and their doctors, not by a board of directors.

Social workers and the public are urging Congress to provide a cure for the chaos in our health system and diminishing quality in our health services.

I urge you to support comprehensive managed care legislation such as the Patient Access to Responsible Care Act (PARCA) (H.D. 1415/S.644) or other similar legislation.

Sincerely,


How to send your letter:

Address for all Senators
The Honorable (first name, last name)
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Address for all Representatives
The Honorable (first name, last name)
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

If you do not know the name of your congressman, look up "United States Government" in the white or yellow pages of your telephone book.
