Health reform will be the hot topic in Washington DC this summer. What will likely happen is that a health reform bill will be the one and only big health care legislative initiative in Congress. Medicare bill provisions that have nothing to do with actual health reform will be attached to this one large bill.

As you may remember, S 343 and HR 1077 are being considered in Congress now. This is our Medicare Respiratory Therapy Initiative that will expand the ability of qualified respiratory therapists to deliver services in physician offices without the physician having to be in the office when they do it.

To ensure our bills move forward, we need to urge Congress to include the provisions of those bills into the health reform legislation.

So you're on tap for a job. . . we need you to write to your members of Congress now and ask them to include S 343 (in the Senate) and HR 1077 (in the House) in the health care reform that moves forward.

The AARC has made it easy. Use the online email authoring tool provided on the AARC's website. Do this today and ask your friends to do so as well.

Write to Congress
