This bill has passed the House several times. The house is not the problem. The Senate will be blocking again. Apparently the PA Senate consists of many heartless, money hungry people who lost their conscience a while back. Let's hope none of them get sick, heaven forbid.

I was also confused when I read the title and then it said it has to go to the Senate for consideration.....

We've tried again and again to ask people to call, write and visit their senators. The only chance we have is to have our voices heard.
It's hard to get sick people to act and it's hard to get healthy people to understand the urgency.
And it's even harder to get a big fat senator to do the right thing instead of focus on the big fat dollar. The one in his pocket, that is.

You will find on the www.lymeactionpa.com website, a link to view the entire House hearing, "Video Link to the Public Hearing." It's very, very interesting actually.
And at the top of the page,you will find a place to make your voice be heard - "PA Medical Society responds to HB 272. Please READ their testimony and RESPOND on their website."

I think the Canadian website did not realize how long the people in PA have been trying to get a lyme bill, and viewed this as nearly a done deal. Which, unfortunately, it isn't.
