Medicare Bill

Message from Margaret Garner, MS, LD, RD, Chair, Legislative and Public Policy Committee

The Fat Lady is singing!

Last evening, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 383-41 to override the President's veto of the Medicare bill. (Only 285 were needed to override!) And, an hour later, the Senate voted 70-26 to override the President. Thanks for all you do and have done for so long to get this win!
