Re-authorize the Ryan White Act: Urgent! Deadline Extended

  • af: Care2
  • mottagare: U.S. Congress
Ryan White, an Indiana teenager with hemophilia who contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion, courageously fought widespread AIDS-related discrimination before his death in 1990. Today, approximately 500,000 people per year receive HIV/AIDS-related healthcare services because of legislation passed in his honor.

The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act is the largest federally funded program for people living with HIV/AIDS. And because it funds treatments when no other resources are available, it is particularly vital to low-income, uninsured and under-insured HIV/AIDS patients.

The Ryan White Act has been re-authorized under both the Clinton and Bush Administrations. Urgent: the deadline to ensure that it is re-authorized under the Obama Administration has been extended to October 30.

Demand that your elected Congresspersons re-authorize this important bill!
Dear Decision Maker,

As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I am writing to respectfully request that you re-authorize the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act.

Because it funds treatments when no other resources are available, Ryan White Care Act is particularly vital to low-income, uninsured and under-insured HIV/AIDS patients. Please spare no time in re-authorizing this act.

People living with HIV/AIDS deserve nothing less. Thank you for your attention in this important matter.
