The ACS sent this news brief out this afternoon - WELL DONE -  I  recommend
that Medical Disaster Response be added to this and maybe even add 
something about Acute Care Surgery

HOUSE COMMITTEE APPROVES  LANGUAGE ENSURING ACCESS TO TRAUMA CARE

On July 20, the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved  an amendment
to H.R. 3200, America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009,  which would
expand patient access to emergency and trauma care. The approved  amendment,
which was still being reviewed by the College's congressional affairs 
staff at press time, would regionalize emergency care and shore up the nation's 
trauma centers. The new language also calls for authorizing the
establishment of  an Emergency Care Coordination Center, which would serve as a
centralized hub  for all urgent care. As noted previously in ACS NewsScope, the 
regionalization and trauma center language was also included in the health
care  reform legislation that the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
 Committee approved earlier this month. For more information, contact
