It's really a good idea, but then turns completely worthless unless I'm misreading something.

It only is overwhelmingly passing because it is missing a major part...

"latest version of the bill no longer contains a controversial endorsement of long-term antibiotic therapy"

lol

Yes, that is definitely worrisome. That was the same problem with the IOM study: they were told to leave out treatment of chronic cases. Told by whom, one wonders? Probably the CDC/NIH. If your panel is muzzled at the outset with the most pressing issue omitted, then any outcome will be limited to small things.

So, will this help us?

Maybe the PA lyme people can turn a lemon into lemonade in this case. The NY legislation came from a task force study.
