I think I said only 27 bills became laws this year. Correction: its 26. 27 were presented to the President for signing. Sifting further through the data, I broke down the Udall non-cosponsors who supported other health legislation a bit further, in terms of who cosponsored HR58 (Medicare coverage for diabetes self-management training) and/or HR1375 (Medicare coverage for nutrition therapy), another health bill with a large number of cosponsors. Cosponsored both: Baesler Clement Costello DeGette DeLauro Duncan Ehlers Fawell Ford Gibbons Gordon Graham Johnson, N. Kildee Kucinich LaFalce LaTourette Lazio Lipinski McCollum McNulty Nethercutt Ney Rahall Rivers Sessions Smith, Adam Stabenow Watkins Weldon, D.
