Thank you to everyone who has been making these phone calls. The volume of calls to leadership offices has not gone unnoticed!
Senator Grassley’s and Chairman Brady’s offices have both commented to us on the number of calls they’ve been receiving about the LTA. We need to keep up the pressure.
The final remaining option for passage this year is now inclusion in the Omnibus spending bill. We will keep pushing for inclusion of the LTA until this package is finalized.
Please continue to call the four offices below. We have removed Senator Hatch and Speaker Ryan, because they are retiring and have begun shutting down their offices, making it extremely difficult to get through.
* SENATE Finance Committee incoming Chairman & LTA Co-lead, Senator Chuck Grassley: 202-224-3744
* SENATE Majority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell: 202-224-2541 (DC) or 270-781-1673 (State Office)
* HOUSE Ways & Means Committee Chairman, Representative Kevin Brady: 202-225-4901
* HOUSE Majority Leader, Representative Kevin McCarthy: 202-225-2915
Phone Script –
“I’m calling to urge [Senator/Representative NAME] to include the Lymphedema Treatment Act (S.497/H.R.930) in the omnibus spending bill. With 449 cosponsors, this bipartisan and bicameral bill is the most widely supported healthcare bill in Congress. Millions of Americans with lymphedema – the majority of them cancer survivors – need this bill passed now.”
