Dialysis Patients Need Insurance Options

  • Tuesday, August 21, 2018

With all the discussion about healthcare, I hope that some of it shifts to dialysis patients and access to insurance options.  As someone who receives dialysis treatments each week, I am very aware of how quickly the medical bills can add up. 

There are many patients that fall through the cracks of insurance and are unable to afford the treatment.  I am grateful that has not happened to me but worry about fellow patients. 

I hope Senator Alexander and the rest of our lawmakers understand this problem.
