NAMI and 32 other organizations representing more than a hundred million people with pre-existing conditions released “The 100 Days Agenda: A Patient-First Blueprint” to urge lawmakers to ensure all Americans have access to adequate and affordable health coverage.
This first-of-its-kind collaboration outlines specific steps the President and other elected officials can immediately take to protect people with pre-existing conditions, like mental illness, once sworn into office in January.
The first 100 days of a president’s term and a new Congress are a key period when elected officials can leverage post-election momentum to initiate major reforms. Lawmakers have a unique opportunity to use that moment to prioritize individuals’ need for quality, affordable health care.
