A coalition of laboratory groups is working on targeted members of Congress who may be able to sponsor legislation to "fix" the PAMA cuts. Congressman Roskam, who's district is mostly in DuPage County, serves on the House Ways and Means Committee and has been open to listening.
Thank you to
@Lisa Bakken, who leads the laboratories at the DuPage Medical Group and has been assisting us with information.
If you have contacts in the laboratories (especially Central DuPage Hospital) at any of these institutions who might be able to help us work our way up to decision-makers who would be willing to reach out to the Congressman, please let me know directly.
We have some resources to provide support.
