WASHINGTON, D.C. — The House Ways and Means Committee may start Thursday “marking up” the Medicare reform bill, which would include the ambulance funding provision. 

In this phase of the NAC lobbying initiative, the National Ambulance Coalition is asking you to call the following Ways and Means Committee members and urge them not to exclude your state in the bill, as the Committee did last year.

• Phil Crane (R-Illinois) – Legislative Director Shalla Ross at 202-225-3711

• Clay Shaw (R-Fla.) -- Legislative Aide Christine Pollack at 202-225-3026

• Dave Camp (R-Mich.) – Legislative Director Deirdre Onizuk at 202-225-3561

• Mac Collins (R-Georgia) – Legislative Aide Shawn Friesen at 202-225-5901

• Rob Portman (R-Ohio) – Legislative Aide Tim Miller at 202-225-3164

• Jerry Weller (R-Illinois) – Legislative Director Alan Tennille at 202-225-3635

• Ron Lewis (R-Kentucky) – Senior Legislative Aide Philip Hays at 202-225-3501

• Mark Foley (R-Fla.) – Legislative Counsel Bradley Schreiber at 202-225-5792

• Paul Ryan (R- Wisc.) – Legislative Director Leah Uhlmann at 202-225-3031

• Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) – Legislative Aide Bill Dolbow at 202-225-2815

Please call the legislative aide in the office of the congressman from your state and educate him or her on the issue. Simply: our states were cut out of additional funding in last year’s Medicare reform bill. Please don’t let this happen again in this year’s bill.
