There is a state Senator in Wisconsin who is working on a bill to offer tax breaks to employers who facilitate pumping. He also has introduced another one to mandate insurance coverage for LC's (much like the effort that got coverage for chiropractors several years ago). I'm not familiar with all the details, but will be attending a dinner at which he will speak next week. Incidentally, he was motivated to do this after an LC helped his wife breastfeed. Sometimes in helping one mom, the effects are more far-reaching than just that mom/baby couplet! Winnie - looking forward to the Conference *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
