The Fourth of July is all about independence. And that includes the independence we deserve from a system that makes providing long-term service and supports fragmented, difficult and expensive.
This Fourth of July, you can help us ensure that long-term services and supports are included in health care reform legislation. How? By hosting a “Declaration of Choice and Independence” celebration.
At these events, we want you, your friends, family and colleagues by signing a “Declaration of Choice and Independence” to be delivered to your federal legislators. Let us know your plans and if you’d like us to help with the delivery.
We even developed a guide to help you host a successful event from start to finish. It includes everything from decorating ideas to a sample press release.
Already have an event planned? Not to worry. You can turn any event into a “Declaration of Choice and Independence” celebration. If you’re having a barbecue, reserve a “Declaration Signing” table. Ask attendees to sign the Declaration and learn more about this important issue. Whatever you do, the stories and signatures you share will help us make it affordable to care.
