Thank you Stacey. The responsibility of supporting amputee advocacy issues falls on a variety of people.
It is crucial that we as amputees, prosthetists ,RNs, OTs, PTs, civil and disability rights activists,consumer advocates and others, join together to encourage ACA to establish and present policies to better ensure proper and affordable coverage for quality prosthetic health care. The message is loud and clear to ACA to accept the challenge!
Please encourage, everyone you know, to support our message of reaching out to people with or without limb loss, and to advocate. I hope you are on your way to a speedy recovery!
