Dear NY:
Thank you for all of
your calls and e-mails over the years, particularly this past summer to gain
legislative passage and win the support of Governor Cuomo for A.8512, the autism
insurance reform bill. Your advocacy truly played a great part in the
process.
We are excited to announce that your bill has now become
law! Moments ago, Governor Cuomo signed the bill making New York the 29th state
to take important steps to end autism insurance
discrimination.
Now it is time to thank
him and we hope that you will do that by sending him an email as
well as writing him a brief note of thanks on his Facebook page.
Here’s How You Can Help!
1. Send a quick email to Governor Cuomo expressing your
gratitude for enacting autism insurance reform. We get you started with the email here, but make sure you take
the time to make your note personal.
2. Ask your friends on Facebook to
spread the word and leave Governor Cuomo a note of thanks on his Facebook page here.
To learn more about the legislation - when it will become effective and
what it means for you, please visit http://www.autismvotes.org/New York.
Thank you again for all of your hard work. There is no doubt that your
calls, your emails and your visits to the Capitol throughout this long process
were key in making this day a reality for all who live in New York.
