<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>People with disabilities know from personal experience that
the current health care system isn’t working – it’s too
expensive, uncertain and inaccessible. For years, the disability rights
community has been fighting for lower costs, more choices, and coverage we can
count on.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The health care debate raged back in the states while
Congress was on August recess. Now Congress is returning to
Washington D.C., and we are at a critical time in the fight for affordable health
care.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Join members of the Disability Coalition for Health Care
Reform, Jason Beloungy of the National Council for Independent Living, Barbara
Kornblau, JD, OTR/L chair of Justice for All Action Network Health Care
Committee, Liz Savage of The ARC and others <b>Thursday, September 17, 2009 at
2:00p.m. EDT (11:00 PDT) </b>for a legislative update, a discussion of proposed
key elements that impact people with disabilities, and action that the
disability community can take to make sure health care reform happens and in a
way that increases access and choice for people with disabilities. <o:p></o:p></p>
