Thank You for a Valiant Effort!

We are deeply disappointed to report that the Lymphedema Treatment Act was not included in the final legislative package for this year. Although this was not the outcome we had hoped and worked so hard for, we will push on next year.

We are incredibly grateful that the bill was passed in the House of Representative last December, and for everyone who made so many emails and phone call to try and get it across the finish line this year.

Each year brings us closer to seeing the bill signed into law, and closer to ensuring that all patients will have insurance coverage for their compression garments and supplies. 

Thank you for advocacy – your voice truly is so important – and on behalf of all of us at the Lymphedema Advocacy Group, I hope you and yours have a safe and happy holiday!
