The e-mail came to me from efa.org
Don't know if anybody else got this e-mail, or if the senators are going to even listen. But, for what it's worth.
"URGENT: Call your Senator on Senate Finance Committee Take Action!
Oppose Stabenow Amendment #D10
URGENT: As you know, medication switching is a serious concern for people with epilepsy. There is currently an amendment to the Senate Finance Committee's Health Care Reform Bill that would seek to attack the critical patient protections that have been created for people with epilepsy and other conditions where substitution has been a problem.
The Senate Finance Committee is now holding hearings on the Health Care Reform measure and it is crucial that you call your Senator who serves on the Senate Finance Committee urging her/him to oppose the Stabenow Amendment #D10 and to remove it before reporting the bill out of committee.
Please contact, and have key advocates, board members or volunteers also contact your Senator's office. Chances are you will not be able to speak directly with your Senator so please ask to speak with their Health Legislative Assistant, Legislative Director or Chief of Staff."
If anyone has been following the health care reform debate, and know what amendment they are talking about, please elaborate.
