There are several ways to contact elected officials. Most seem to prefer electronic means of contact and have websites with user friendly contact forms. FAX is also a recommended way of contact. However, you can mail a letter, though it will take a significantly longer time for that letter to reach the addressee. Phone calls may also be an option.
Listed below are the names of Representative and Senators who sit on committees related to Health care issues. The address, phone and FAX number and web-based contact information are provided for you. We have also provided an example “template” letter for you to use, and adapt for your use, if you wish.
It is also very important to contact your own House Representative and Senator, even if they are not directly involved with Health Care issues. We have provided a link for you to easily look up who your representative is, with a template letter appropriate for use. Again, most seem to prefer electronic communication so we do encourage you to use the contact forms or FAX provided.
