LAC Distributes Letter Calling for More Inclusive Healthcare Reform

In March 2009 the Legal Action Center wrote and distributed a sign-on letter, addressed to President Obama, outlining the critical need for including mental health and addiction prevention, treatment, and support services in national healthcare reform.  The letter was circulated widely and a total of 176 organizations from across the country signed on, including 83 national organizations.  Copies of the letter were sent to the White House and key leaders in the executive branch, including the President's nominees to direct the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Department of Health and Human Services.  Copies were also sent to a number of leaders in the U.S. House and Senate expected to play major roles in developing and passing healthcare reform legislation.
