URGENT ACTION NEEDED ON RYAN WHITE CARE ACT



Call Speaker Hastert and Majority Leader Boehner
 
 
Your calls are working!  Because HRC members’ calls were so successful, a key ally on the Hill has asked us to call Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and Republican Majority Leader John Boehner and deliver the same message: Time is running out to pass the Ryan White CARE Act, and it is shameful that the Republican leadership has allowed a life-saving program to be caught in a web of politics.
 
Speaker Dennis Hastert (202) 225-0600
Majority Leader John Boehner (202) 225-4000
 
"I am calling to urge the Republican leadership to allow consideration of the Senate Version of the Ryan White CARE Act on the House Suspension Calendar.  Americans across the country living with HIV depend on this program for access to life-saving treatment and care. The time to pass the Ryan White CARE Act is now."
 
Background: Yesterday, the Senate unanimously passed a bill to reauthorize the Ryan White CARE Act.  In order for this critical bill to pass, however, the House MUST consider the identical bill before it adjourns tomorrow.
 
The Ryan White CARE Act provides critical care and treatment to low-income Americans living with HIV and AIDS. For communities across the nation to continue providing access to life-saving primary medical care and supportive services, the Act must pass now.
