Tim and Karen O'Neil have been a major influence in promoting HR-678,the Huntington's Disease Parity Act of 2009.This will waive the 2 year waiting period for those with HD and be able to get Social Security Disability benefits sooner. We need to pull together not only by making a donation but by sharing this site with everyone that you know.Thank you for caring, Marie Clay http://www.firstgiving.com/ karenoneil || [|http://hdsa.org] ||

Nearly 30,000 Americans are affected by Huntington's Disease. People with HD are routinely denied Social Security disability benefits and those that qualify must wait two years before receiving Medicare. The compounding effects of these barriers continue to leave many people with HD without the care they desperately need. The HD Parity Act (HR 678), a bipartisan bill in Congress, would fix these problems. HDSA is working to educate our elected leaders in Congress about HD. So far, with your help, HDSA has persuaded 126 Representatives in Congress to cosponsor the HD Parity Act (HR 678). This bill would make it easier for people with HD to receive Medicare and Social Security Disability benefits.====== http://www.hdsa.org/living- with-huntingtons/advocacy/hd- petition.html ||
