National Pain Care Policy Act of 2009 - URGENT ACTION REQUESTED:CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TO REQUEST THEIR CO-SPONSORSHIP OF THE NATIONAL PAIN CARE POLICY ACT of 2009, S.660
The National Pain Care Policy Act of 2009, H.R. 756 has been in the House of Representatives since January of this year. It is currently pending the full vote of the House.
This bill has now been introduced in the Senate thanks to the efforts of Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT). With this important bill now in both houses of Congress it is imperative that your Senators hear from you. Let your voice be heard! Inform your Senators that you are concerned about the hidden pain epidemic in our country and as a resident of their state you are requesting their support as a co-sponsor.
Please take action by sending a letter to your Senator urging their immediate support for this important legislation!
Thank you for being part of this united effort to eliminate the under-treatment of pain in America.
