New Medicare Proposal
On another health related issue………….. I urge my American friends to please give your support for recently introduced legislation regarding the time limit for Medicare support. Currently there is a 36 month time limit for anti-rejection medicines used after transplant surgery. The financial burden on Americans that must have surgery for a transplant is enough to endure. The added impact of loosing coverage for medicines after 36 months is too great.
Anti-rejection medicine is required to assist the body in the differences with new organs. The medicines are very expensive, and can have other undesirable effects, but when it sustains life it can be very important. Many patients cannot bear the financial burden without Medicare support. The 36 month time limit is just too stringent. The costs of transplant surgery alone is enough.
Please write your congressman in support of the Comprehensive Immunosuppressive Drug Coverage for Transplant Patients Act of 2007 (H.R. 3282) today. See related links.
Thanks. From someone that will need this coverage in the near future.
