State Prosthetic Parity Campaign: Delaware’s campaign started in 2007. We are currently working with local activists Gloria Price, head of the Amputee Support Group of DE and John Horne, owner of Independence Prosthetics to coordinate with the ACA to launch a bill in the 2009 session.
To get in touch with Gloria and John, contact them at 302-778-2227. If you would like to find out how you can help, you can also contact the ACA at state@amputee-coalition.org or 202/742-1885. The local campaign committee is also very active in the federal campaign for coverage.
The campaign committee already got some great press coverage. An article was printed on the front page of Delaware's largest state publication! Click here to check it out!
Other Advocacy Issues: While parity is a big priority for the ACA’s advocacy team, we have recently been involved in a number of issues advocating on behalf of people with limb loss and limb difference. Is there a bill or issue in your state that we need to know about? Contact us at state@amputee-coalition.org.
The ACA is also working hard to pass federal parity legislation in order to extend protections for health plans regulated by Congress (about half of all policies). Get informed by visiting our federal parity page.
Help keep up the fight for parity and protect the health and rights of amputees throughout the country! Whether you can give $5, $50 or $500 we need your financial support!! Write a check to the “Amputee Coalition of America” and send it to: ACA, 300 East Hill Ave, Suite 205, Knoxville, TN, 37915 or make a donation online on our secure marketplace at: www.amputee-coalition.org/advocacy/donation.
