Great news! Senate Bill 1360 has been scheduled for a public hearing before the Senate Health & Human Services Committee on Tuesday, April 26, 2011. The meeting will be held in the Senate Chamber starting at 9am. SB1360 is the fifth bill on the list, so will likely be heard before lunch.
Thank you to everyone who called Senator Jane Nelson's office and the other H&HS Committee members. It really helped!

We can't expect someone else to do this for us. When a Lyme patient in Massachusetts phoned Sen. Dan Patrick's office last Friday 4-15-11 on behalf of our SB 1360, she was told hers was the FIRST call he had received! WHAT? Where are our support groups when we need them to make phone calls? This is VITAL!
