According to one writer, NJ's Pallone has at one time been supposedly had the distinction in a recent year of being #1 of all Representatives (among over 400) for health care type contributions to him, from health companies, insurance, and so forth (www.opensecrets.com).
The two Congressmen attacked Pallone and wanted a modern useful Lyme disease bill, which was more open-minded and progressive, and were angered at the notion of one size fits all treatments. They feel the current approach of the Infection Society of America's small group of Lyme guideline writers were corrupt or at least acting with a lack of scientific integrity (per the Connecticut attorney General).
