We Need Your Voice! Contact Your Senators Today to Oppose the Health Care Bill
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
As Congress returns to Washington this week, Senate leaders are hoping to release a new version of their repeal and replace legislation, the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), as soon as Thursday with a vote as early as next week. We need your voice, your story and your activism TODAY!

NAADAC joined over 450 addiction & mental health organizations in signing an updated letter to Senate leadership addressing serious concerns with how the Senate health care bill will affect the millions of Americans suffering from substance use disorders and mental illness who may lose their health coverage entirely or see reductions in benefits that impede access to needed care.The new health care bill would:
  • Deeply cut Medicaid funding, end the Medicaid expansion, impose caps on federal Medicaid funds, and allow states to impose work requirements on certain beneficiaries;
  • Allow states to remove essential health benefits (which require insurers to cover addiction and mental health benefits); and
  • Result in millions of people losing their health insurance, including millions of people who need addiction and mental health care.
Please call the U.S. Capitol directly at 202-224-3121 to be connected to your Senators to urge a NO vote on the health care bill. Click here to find your Senators.

Today's Webinar: Treating Eating Disorders as Substance Use Disorders?
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
Wed, July 12, 2017 @ 3:00 - 4:30pm ET
(2 CT/1 MT/12 PT)

Given the complexity and nature of eating disorders, this presentation seeks to shed light on the growing continuum of research pointing to the “addictive” elements driving pathological overeating and the regulation of appetite. This webinar will identify the specific “foods of abuse,” the interplay between biological, cultural, and psychological factors, and the evidence supporting this substance use thesis.Earn 1.5 CEs (free for NAADAC members - join now!).
