NAMI NEW JERSEY ADVOCACY ALERT

HELP MAKE PARITY A REALITY
YOUR
HELP NEEDED TODAY
Urge Speaker Joseph Roberts to Post Parity Legislation
You can help make Mental Health and Addiction Parity a
reality in this legislative session! The General Assembly
leadership has heard parity advocate voices but we're in
a pitched battle with opponents who are working overtime
to defeat and water down S-807/A-2512 in the final days
of the current "lame duck" session.
We're almost there
but each of us must act TODAY.
TELL ASSEMBLYMAN SPEAKER ROBERTS
Now is the time for the New Jersey General
Assembly to stand up for people who have been discriminated
against in their insurance coverage for their treatment
of mental illness and addiction. I'm asking you, as Speaker
of the Assembly, to take the lead to end this kind of insurance
discrimination by making mental health / addiction parity
legislation (S-807/A-2512) a priority and posting it for
a vote in the full General Assembly on December 13, 2007.
