I beg your GD/P indulgence--S. 1955 is out of committee

[blondeatlast]

and could be voted on anytime. This is DEVASTATING legislation for anyone who has, knows, or cares for someone with chronic illness.

This bill would allow states to allow insurance companies to NOT cover essential medical supplies. For someone like me that includes blood glucose testing supplies, insulin pump supplies, etc.--all necessary to maintain my health and all very expensive.

Information on the bill and contacting your Senators can be found here:

Please--call, fax, e-mail, whatever your senators and urge them to defeat this bill.

I can't believe it was approved by the committee.

I'm almost begging here--this bill would be devastating to me and many, many other DUers.

Please kick this thread occasionally.

Thank you so much.
