Gibson, Maloney push Cuomo to sign Lyme bill

Commentary: U.S. Representatives Chris Gibson (R-Kinderhook) and Sean Patrick Maloney (D-Cold Spring) issued a statement Tuesday urging Governor Cuomo to sign a bill into law that would give physicians the freedom to treat chronically ill patients with Lyme disease according to either of the two recognized standards of care. “The Patients’ Rights/Doctor Protection Bill makes common-sense improvements to state regulations, putting treatment decisions in the hands of physicians and instituting guidelines to help our state fight this public health scourge,” Gibson said. “I respectfully call on Governor Cuomo to sign this bill into law”.
