APA’s Political Action Committee Gives Contribution to Jeffords

Fassler is treasurer of the Vermont Psychiatric Association, a member of the APAPAC Board of Directors, and an APA trustee-at-large. Jeffords is a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and the Finance Committee’s health care subcommittee. Jeffords has cosponsored both the 2003 parity legislation and legislation to end Medicare’s discrimination against mental illnesses. APA strongly supports both bills.

The visit is part of an ongoing program through APAPAC in which APA members educate federal and state legislators and policymakers about mental health issues.
