Dear Health Advocates,




We have some new events and opportunities for your advocacy this week!




Today is our Oral Health Digital Day of Action! As Medicare Open Enrollment begins today, we want to bring awareness to the fact that no plans in the marketplace include access to oral health coverage. You can learn more about how to join our efforts here.




Families USA is also holding a webinar in one week on October 24 titled The Time is Now: Coming Together to Win Against Big Hospital Corporate Greed which will discuss the fight ahead in the lame duck session to reign in the greed of big health care corporations. 




As a reminder, registration is now OPEN for our 30th Annual Health Action Conference! HAC 2025 will be held in person this year at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC on January 23-24! Please follow this link to register and secure your spot at HAC 2025!
