Dear Colleague:

I am thrilled to announce that the Lymphedema Treatment Act has received a score from the Congressional Budget Office. I will keep you informed regarding further movement.

In the mean time, during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I hope you will join us in touting the importance of passing the Lymphedema Treatment Act. Breast Cancer is the leading cause of lymphedema in the United States.

I have attached a graphic you are free to use, and we also have a page on our website dedicated to actions that can be taken to support the bill during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We invite you to share this information with your memberships, or set up your own actions.

The bill now has 356 House and 74 Senate cosponsors (with the most recent addition being Leader Schumer), and as previously shared, was unanimously advanced out of the Energy and Commerce Committee on July 13th.

With all this progress and momentum we are optimistic about the bill becoming law during this Congress, and hope that you will join us in doing everything possible to get the LTA across the finish line during the lame duck session. Please let me know if I can answer any questions and thank you so much for your support!
