Dear supporter,

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Dingell (D-MI) and Rep.

Tim (R-PA) introduced the Protecting Medicaid Safety Net Act of 2008

(H.R. 5613). The bill proposes a one year moratorium on the regulations the

Center for Medicaid Services has proposed in response to the cuts made in

the President's fiscal year 2009 budget.

Many people do not realize that Medicaid pays for many of the services

students with special needs depend on while in school. Essential services

like speech and language therapy, physical therapy and specialized

transportation, to and from school, are at risk of being severely cut or

eliminated. Passage of H.R. 5613 will allow students to continue to receive

services while policymakers take the opportunity to discuss the best way to

modify all Medicaid services under the limitations of the President's fiscal

year 2009 budget.

I ask you to take a few minutes of your time today to ask your

representative in the House to support the passage of H.R. 5613 so

policymakers can have the opportunity for robust debate on this critical

issue. Please visit our

Action Center to learn more about this important issue. Then send a message

to your elected officials today!

Thank you for your continued support on behalf of those with special needs

and their families. Your voice always makes a difference!

Sincerely,

Kaloi

Director of Public Policy

National Center for Learning Disabilities
