The Amputee Coalition has launched campaigns in state legislatures throughout the country to advance parity legislation that would ensure fairness and equity in the insurance benefits of people with limb loss.

• AR, IA, MD, VA, TX, MO and CT all passed bills in 2009.
• Unfortunately, the governor vetoed the CT bill. 
• CO, ME, NH, RI, CA, MA, OR, NJ, IN, VT and LA have enacted parity laws.
• PA, WI, IL, MI, NY, NC, AL, MN, NE, ND, UT, AZ, OH, ID, GA, KS, KY, TN and WA are looking to advance legislation in 2010.

We are doing everything we can to keep these bills moving. We are also looking at holding a series of organizing meetings this summer to ramp up support and mobilize activists for the various state campaigns.

We need your help! To find out the latest about your state's parity efforts, visit our Action Center at www.amputee-coalition.org/advocacy/your-state.html
