  Heather Ferguson Dear Fellow Lymphedema Advocates,

  It is with great pleasure that I am able to inform you that a sponsor for the “Lymphedema Diagnosis and Treatment Cost Saving Act of 2010” has been found! We are now one huge step closer to ensuring nation-wide LE treatment coverage for all lymphedema sufferers.
  
  As some of you may already know, this year I was successful in obtaining a state mandate in North Carolina which will require all insurance plans in this state to cover LE treatment starting in 2010. You can read an account of that process at LymphNotes (http://www.lymphnotes.com/story.php/id/475/). Having succeeded at the state level I set my sites on a federal bill. On November 30th I met with my Congressman, Larry Kissell. On December 17th I was informed that Congressman Kissell will indeed be the Primary Sponsor of this legislation.
  
  This draft has already been sent to the Office of the Legislative Counsel. Legislative Counsel essentially advises and assists the House, its Committees, and Members in preparing drafts that reflect the legislative objectives of the Member or Committee concerned. Once they have a final draft it will be returned to Congressman Kissell who will then formally introduce the bill. This could occur as soon as January.
  
  I have been advised by Kissell’s staff that the most important thing we can do when the bill is ready to be introduced is seek addition Primary Sponsors and Co-sponsors for the bill. The more sponsors a bill has the better chance it will have of not dying in committee and actually being passed in to law.
  
  It is critically important that we collect these co-sponsors and only you can make this happen. Elected officials are only accountable to their constituents, so only you have the power to persuade him/her.
  
  When the bill is assigned a number I will send it to you along with everything else you will need to write your Congressperson. In the mean time feel free to spread the good news.
  
  If you have any questions or would like more information please let me know.
  Please forward this to members of the LE community and others willing to help.
  
  Most Sincerely,
  Heather Ferguson
