Hearing Aids Insurance Coverage Legislation

What's the latest on HB5598 and HB5600?

 
What can we do to encourage Illinois Legislators to pass Hearing Aids Insurance Coverage??
 
We need to raise awareness of this growing problem of many people not being able to afford to pay for expensive hearing aid(s). Many deaf and hard of hearing people have gone without hearing aid(s)
because they cannot afford it. There are some deaf and hard of hearing people that have gone with cheaper hearing aid(s) that are not suitable for them. There are many parents that could not afford to buy hearing aid(s) for their deaf and hard of hearing children.
 
Local State Representatives and Senators will be there to hear our stories.
 
Those who wear hearing aids, Parents of deaf and hard of hearing children, and ALL people who SUPPORT Hearing Aids Insurance Coverage are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to take the time and attend.
 
Interpreters and Cart will be provided.
 
Spread the word to all those who care !!!! The more bodies we have at the town hall, the STRONGER the message we send to Illinois Legislators will be !!!
 
See you all there.
 

Yours Sincerely.

Dennis O'Brien, Jr.
