Contact Congress and Urge Support of the Arthritis Act

May 12, 2009

The Arthritis Prevention, Control and Cure Act (H.R. 1210/S. 984) was introduced in the House by Rep. Anna Eshoo and Rep. Fred Upton and in the Senate by Sen. Barbara Boxer, Sen. Kit Bond and Sen. Edward Kennedy. This legislation would create programs to prevent, treat, and care for adults and children with arthritis and associated rheumatic diseases and ensure that patients are guaranteed access to rheumatologists and appropriate health services for their disease.
