From ADAPT, November17, 2007
Representative Dingell, Chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, and Representative Palone, Chair of the Subcommittee on Health, have committed, at our suggestion, that the hearing on the Community Choice Act will be the first held by the Health Subcommittee in the new session. We will kick off the new year fresh, building our momentum as we go. Stay tuned for the exact date.
In the meantime, the holiday breaks are a great time to get more Legislators to sign on as co-sponsors...
