Lung Health News, Fall 2006 / Winter 2007

To ensure that children in California get the tools they need to control their asthma, the American Lung Association of California is supporting a bill (AB 264,
Chan) that would require healthcare plans to cover outpatient pediatric asthma self- management training and education.
