Thank you, @RepMichaelRulli , for cosponsoring the Kidney Care Access Protection Act (H.R. 6214) and the Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act (H.R. 2199)! These bills are critical to strengthening Medicare's kidney care and dialysis benefits, while ensuring that people living with kidney disease have choice in their insurance coverage and access to innovative, lifesaving treatments. We appreciate your leadership and commitment to improving patient outcomes.

Protecting access to high-quality kidney care requires continued collaboration between policymakers and advocates. That's why KCP members were proud to meet with Kendall Smith from @RepFletcher’s office to discuss key policies that support patient-centered care and innovation across the kidney care continuum, including the Kidney Care Access Protection Act (KCAPA) and the Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act. We appreciate the Congresswoman and her staff for prioritizing solutions that help ensure people living with kidney disease have access to the care and support they need.
