Assemblymember Didi Barrett (D – Columbia, Dutchess) announced that legislation she authored that would expand treatment options for patients suffering from Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses has been delivered to Governor Cuomo (A.7558/S.7854)... Under state law, the governor has until December 17 to act on the bill. The bill unanimously passed both houses of the legislature. We thank Assemblymember Barrett and other members of the NY State Assembly and Senate for caring about the plight of Lyme patients whose lives have been destroyed by this debilitating disease. We urgently need to create scientific forums on Lyme and associated tick-borne diseases at the state and federal levels, where doctors, researchers, scientists, insurers and politicians come together to discuss the most up to date scientific research and find solutions for this spreading epidemic which is destroying the lives of patients in the US and across the world. didibarrett/news-archive/barrett-encourages-the-governor-to-sign-important-lyme-bill/
