Fwd: [GA-ParentNetwork] CBS 46 Investigative Rpt- Sept. 28 at 11:00pm on Medicaid situation!

[Guest guest]

Dearest Advocates:

I just wanted to remind you that CBS 46 News will be airing their Investigative Report on the Medicaid situation on Thursday, September 28th at 11:00pm. CBS has been working very hard on this piece and is airing promotional "teasers" throughout the week leading up to the report.

PLEASE take a minute after the show airs and thank the reporter, Salzman at .SaltzmanCBS46 for her coverage of this important issue in our State......Healthcare has to be a priority for our children! Also- please copy the station as well on your e-mail cbs46newscbs46 and the news director at rick.erbachcbs46 or you can call them at 404.327.3144.

CBS needs to hear from us and how appreciative we are of dealing with these important issues our children face and the providers that service them. If they get enough response, they have enough coverage to continue to air additional segments! Only through building community awareness of the situation (and working with the media), are we going to impact change in this state!

The bottom line is..... children are not getting the services they need and can't find providers to provide those services due to the bureaucracy of paperwork Medicaid has developed in order to cut costs!

The system is in a crisis and we are not going to take it anymore. Hope to see you at the Rally- November 4th 9:30am at GA State Capitol. I will be sending out additional information as the time gets closer and we are going to have a website and press releases as well for those interested very soon.......Stay tuned!

United... WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Sincerely, Heidi
