Engel’s gets some noteworthy assistance
Former ABC newsman Ted Koppel has taken an interest in a bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Eliot Engel, that would amend the Social Security Act to provide coverage for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation services.
According to a news release from Engel’s office, Koppel and his wife recently met with the Bronx Democrat, to express their support for the Pulmonary and Cardiac Rehabilitation Act of 2007. The bill would create specific cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation benefit categories under Medicare.
Koppel’s wife suffers from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Engel, whose district stretches into Westchester and then across the Hudson River into Rockland County, sits on the Health Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
