What are you doing on Tuesday, Feb. 27?
Come on, PA/NJ/DE residents. Show your spirit:
Congressman Joe Sestak (D-PA) invites you to a hearing on the issue of mental health parity. The 7th Congressional District will host this forum to highlight the need for and issues with health insurers to cover mental illness at the same level as they cover physical illness. Joining Congressman Sestak at the event will be Congressman Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) and Congressman Jim Ramstad (R-MN), authors of bipartisan legislation to close the loopholes that allow plans to charge higher co-payments, coinsurance, deductibles, and maximum out-of-pocket limits and impose lower day and visit limits on mental health addiction care.Where: Elwyn Media Campus/Corporate Office, Administration Building on the 3rd Floor Conference Room, Room 317, 111 Elwyn Road, Elwyn, PA 19063
