As a result of the nearly 20,000 messages sent to the U.S. Senate by people like you opposing Senate Bill 1955, the vote will be postponed for another week or so. 

S. 1955, also known as the Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization and Affordability Act, creates federal Association Health Plans (AHPs) that could jeopardize diabetes coverage, which is currently guaranteed in 46 states, for employees of small businesses. The bill would also allow all state-regulated health insurance policies to bypass those guarantees.

This means that, in addition to small business health plans, all state-regulated health insurance, including individual policies, would also lose their guarantee of required coverage for lifesaving diabetes items. This would be devastating to millions of people with diabetes across the country.

If you haven’t contacted your representative, please do so today!  It’s not too late …

Contact your committee members listed below and tell them that S. 1955 will seriously harm people with diabetes. Tell the members to vote NO on S.  1955 and that their vote could be the difference between current insurance protections for people with diabetes and an America where millions of those same people no longer have their diabetes needs covered.
