This could mean a lot to states bordering West Virginia - like Ohio.
There is a video at the link above, and I like this quote:

"It leaves the ultimate decisions where they should be - with the doctors," Sen. Trump said.

"Not with the insurance companies, but with a patient and his doctor

as to what's the appropriate course of treatment for someone who's under a doctor's care.”

Yes, Miss Anne of Ohio and I'll be Miss Pam of Kentucky. Let's see how long the neighboring states of WV, get a clue.

WV has very high disability in their state and I've always thought there was a big reason for that. Undiagnosed and untreated Lyme.

The powers that be ran out the only WV LLMD in Morgantown many years ago. I wonder where she went?
