MOAA has been named to the Top Lobbyist List for 16th Consecutive Year by The Hill. The MOAA Legislative Action Center is the primary venue to support our advocacy of healthcare related legislation. The National MOAA 'Active Legislative Campaign' issues are but some of the current legislation before Congress. Our Legislation Early Push is an adjunct to the MOAA Legislative Action Center
Many healthcare related legislation have not yet gained a national attention level. We have selected legislation for a little early push for increased advocacy effort. The selected legislation is currently before Congress; have bipartisan support; are healthcare related; and considered attainable of passage. Selected legislation will not be duplicates of MOAA active campaign items, but are either MOAA or other Veteran Service Organization (VSO) supported.
All contact and correspondence with your Representatives must indicate that you are acting as a "constituent".
If you know of current legislation and believe that it should be considered for Legislation Early Push, send us a message using the contact button below. "Never Stop Serving"!
