Wellstone-Domenici Act regulations
Thanks to everyone who contacted their US Senators asking them to sign on to a letter to the heads of the three federal agencies that are responsible for writing the regulations for the Act – the US Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services and Treasury.
Faces & Voices worked with allied organizations to ask US Senators to sign on to a letter in support of regulations to implement the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. Twenty six US Senators signed on to the parity regulations letter.
Check out the list below to see if your Senator signed on to the letter that was organized by Senators Al Franken (D-MN), Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA), Jack Reed (D-RI) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI). If they did, please take a minute to send them a thank you!
John Kerry (D-MA), Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Patty Murray (D-WA), Carl Levin (D-MI), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Richard J. Durbin (D-IL), Jon Tester (D-MT), Joseph I. Lieberman (I-CT), Blanche L. Lincoln (D-AR), Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD), Daniel K. Akaka (D-HI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Tom Udall (D-NM), Sherrod Brown, (D-OH), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Robert P.
