Your access to care & your doctor’s ability to treat you for Lyme are being challenged!
Governor Rell must not veto this bill!!
HISTORY: On April 30th, 2009, H.B. 6200, An Act Concerning the Use of Long-term Antibiotics for the Treatment of Lyme Disease passed unanimously in the Connecticut House of Representatives, and on May 29th it passed unanimously in the CT Senate.
PROBLEM: The Legislature ends June 3, 2009. We have reasons to believe that Governor Rell is considering vetoing this bill and that there are behind the scenes efforts to destroy the monumental patient effort in CT.
