Urge State Leaders to Make Timothy's Law Permanent!
Timothy's Law, New York's landmark statute mandating comparable coverage for mental health treatment expires this year. In addition, although this was a huge victory for us all, the law did not include PTSD.
Timothy's Law has increased access to treatment for thousands of New Yorkers with psychiatric disabilities. In the absence of swift legislative action the landmark victory that people with psychiatric disabilities and their families won in 2006 will come to an end!
We need to ensure that Timothy's Law does not expire. It's time to take this message directly to state leaders; we need to end the discrimination!
Call your legislative leaders and urge them to pass S.1646/A.5659 AND S.185/A.4572, acts to make Timothy's Law permanent and add PTSD.
Call
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver - 212-312-1420
Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith - 718-528-4290
Leave the following message:
"I'm a registered voter from (your locality) calling to urge you to make Timothy's Law permanent and add PTSD! Pass S.1646/A.5659 AND S.185/A.4572 Now!”
