🚨 Bipartisan Bill Introduced to Protect Dialysis Patients 🚨 📄 Article Synopsis: Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) have introduced the Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act, aiming to safeguard the healthcare options of individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This critical bill addresses the negative impact of the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in Marietta v. DaVita, which allowed insurers to limit coverage for essential treatments like dialysis. As a result, many ESRD patients were prematurely forced onto Medicare, disrupting their care and increasing financial strain. The new legislation will: ✔️ Restore patient protections to maintain access to private healthcare ✔️ Ease the financial burden on patients and Medicare ✔️ Ensure ESRD patients aren’t forced off their insurance when they need it most This initiative has garnered broad bipartisan support and endorsements from c healthcare organizations, including the American Society of Nephrology and Kidney Care Partners. Let’s support this vital effort to protect the most vulnerable. 🔗 Article Link: https://lnkd.in/exK2ZhUn #mykidneyvoice #Dialysis #Healthcare #BipartisanLegislation #ESRD #KidneyCare #PatientAdvocacy
