You may all know this, but I just got off our weekly call with the
committees and the Hill -- and the Hill folks said they are doing 3 events
that I thought you should know about as we plan for next week:
Tuesday - (T)they want to do something on Managed
Care, possibly something with the American
Small Business Alliance with the House and
Senate.
Wednesday - (T)Mock Hill hearing with a couple of
stories of witnesses they have who are
doctors with stories of how HMO's would not let
them treat their patients the way they
recommended and the patient suffered
serious health setbacks, and they have a
former benefits consultant from a managed
care company who got sick and then
realized how health decisions were getting
made.
Thursday - Releasing Families USA studies report
re: ERISA study about .who's not
covered. Hill wants them to think further about
bringing in a Governor from one of
these states.
Tuesday - (the 21st) AMA is doing their yearly "fly
in" to have their association
people on the Hill to lobby, they believe this year
the topic will be Patients B of R.
