	News Release
		Today, Senator Dick Lugar, Senator Evan Bayh, and Representative Pete Visclosky announced that a deal has been struck to ensure that hospitals in Lake County receive in excess of $60 million over a three-year period in threatened Medicare reimbursements from the federal government.
		Lugar, Bayh, and Visclosky have engaged in an aggressive effort to reclassify the Lake County Hospitals after the county's classification was switched by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from urban to rural, despite the fact that the Lake County Hospitals incur costs similar to Chicago-area hospitals.
		The Lugar, Bayh, and Visclosky coordinated campaign will ensure that the Lake County Hospitals do not face drastic budget cuts because of a decision at the Health Care Financing Administration, which is responsible for classifying hospitals nationwide for the purposes of deciding Medicare reimbursement rates.

		With research help from a legal intern she hired, Rosenbloom quickly learned that it is neither unusual nor illegal for hospitals to operate without any physicians on premises for in-patients; no federal laws or regulations in any state require hospitals to have a non-emergency room doctor present around the clock.
		The Physician Availability Act — a bill she helped create — was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives this summer by her local congressman, Democrat Pete Visclosky of Indiana.
		As when Visclosky introduced similar bills in 1997, 1999, and 2001 at Rosenbloom's urging, the bill will probably not even reach committee, much less a vote, but it will not be for a lack of effort by Rosenbloom.
