Thank you to everyone who emailed and called their congressional offices and encouraged them to attend the briefing about the Lymphedema Treatment Act held on October 24th. You can watch a video of the briefing HERE.
This was not a vote. The purpose of the briefing was to update offices on the importance of the bill and its recent progress advancing out of committee and receiving a CBO score, and most importantly, to urge them to vote in favor of the bill when it comes before them.
As you can see in the graphic below, the next step is getting the LTA scheduled for a full House vote. We need to do everything possible to get the bill signed into law this year, before the new Congress begins in January, so we don’t have to start the process all over again!
