As many of you are no doubt aware, Senators Rockefeller (D-WV) and Collins (R-ME) have introduced comprehensive palliative care legislation, at least some of which is likely to survive into the forthcoming health care reform bill (a section by section summary is attached.) A companion bill is under development in the House. This is the moment to mobilize support and endorsement. Your advocacy is essential if we are to leverage this opportunity to elicit support for passage of the transformational components necessary to improve access to quality palliative care for all Americans.

Your participation will make a difference! We greatly appreciate your attention to this urgent matter.
