May 12, 2008

This week the House of Representatives is expected to take up legislation providing supplemental funding for the current fiscal year for the military. During consideration of this legislation, an amendment for additional emergency domestic spending (such as educational benefits veterans) will be considered that includes a delay in 7 separate Medicaid regulations that NAMI supports.

Action Required

Advocates are strongly encouraged to call their House member and urge support for the "domestic spending amendment" to the FY 2008 emergency supplemental funding bill and the moratoria on Medicaid regulations (HR 5613) that the House approved on April 23 by a wide bipartisan margin.

Advocates can reach House members by calling 202-224-3121 (not a toll free call). Urge your House member to support the domestic spending amendment and the moratoria on the Medicaid regulations.
