Hail to the
Chief!!
Chief!!
One hundred and seventeen respiratory therapists from 46 states and the District of Columbia delivered our
profession’s message to Capitol Hill this week: Please Support The Medicare Respiratory Therapist Access Act.
Your Political Advocacy Contact Team (PACT) representatives had over 300 scheduled meetings with members of
Congress.
The state of Montana had a strong and effective presence this year on Capital Hill! Montana State Respiratory
Therapists Pattie Stefans, Brian Cayko, and Laura Vanni-Kelly along with Alpha 1 patient Mrs. Helen Nichols
presented the Medicare Respiratory Therapist Access Act. We advocated for improved access to Respiratory
Therapist’s for our patients that struggle with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We met with Senator
Max Baucus, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee and his healthcare staffer Karen Fisher, Congressman Steve
Daines and his natural resources assistant Meghan Marino, and Senator John Tester’s key health care staffer Alpha
Lundstrom. This new AARC legislation is currently awaiting a final CBO score. The cost analysis will assist the
house and senate members in understanding the financial impact to Medicare part B. Their support and co-
sponsorship is critical for this initiative to pass. The AARC has reported that over 20,000 messages have been sent
to Congress in the past week by AARC members and our supporters! It is not too late to let your voice be heard!

Sincerely,
Pattie Stefans
