New Cd in support of The Campaign for Prosthetic Coverage
The Campaign for Prosthetic Coverage
Almost two million Americans are living with limb loss or limb
deficiency as a result of disease, trauma or birth defect.
In a December 2005 to January 2006, a poll of 660 users of the ACA web
site, 423 (72%) of respondents had private insurance. In return for
premiums paid for group health insurance, consumers expect to be covered
for catastrophic illness or injury. Sadly, without legislation to ensure
coverage, many people living with the loss or absence of a limb are
facing discouraging obstacles when trying to obtain prosthetic care.
Current changes in insurance plans are having a devastating effect on
amputees and their families:
62% reported that their prosthetic coverage had remained the same in the
past three years. 31% indicated that it had been reduced, 7% said that
it had been eliminated. In answer to a growing number of calls from our
members and friends who are finding it difficult to afford an
appropriate prosthesis, the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) launched
the Action Plan for People with Limb Loss (APPLL).
APPLL works nationwide at the grassroots level to motivate people to
inform lawmakers about the critical need for all amputees to have access
to an appropriate prosthesis, regardless of their financial
circumstances.
Our goals:
1) Pass prosthetic parity laws in all 50 states.
2) Work at the federal level to ensure that all amputees receive the
help they need to obtain adequate and appropriate prosthetic care.
We have already made exciting progress! In 2006, we worked with eight
states to advance legislation requiring coverage for prosthetic devices
and components. Three of the eight states passed legislation.
In 2007, eleven states will introduce or re-introduce legislation for
prosthetic coverage. Another eight states are working to build campaign
committees to advance legislation.
Help support ACA and John Denner in the mission to empower people with
limb loss through education, support and advocacy by becoming an ACA
member today. Visit www.amputee-coalition.org/membership or call
888/AMPKNOW for more information. You can also donate directly to the
parity campaign at www.amputee-coalition.org/advocacy/donation.
Proceeds will go to the Amputee Coalition of America and Operation First
