Remove Section 298 of the proposed Health & Human Services FY17 budget. Section 298 will harm under-served populations and could put treatment providers out of business.
Why is this important?
As a person in long-term recovery, our community treatment providers played an essential role in saving my life. We should be supporting them - and supporting recovery! People without insurance also deserve access to treatment. Taking money from treatment providers and giving it to HMOs would be a death sentence for those who cannot afford health insurance. Under-served populations are not expendable. With the proper support, we do recover!
