Response to Article Criticizing Medicare Funding for Life-Saving Dialysis Medications

The following press release was published by the United States Committee on Finance Ranking Member’s News on Jan. 24, 2013. It is reproduced in full below.

“The article in question is a complete mischaracterization of how and why this policy came together. There was no earmark or provision for just one company. Plain and simple, the provision is smart policy for patients, providers and taxpayers. The bipartisan policy saves taxpayers $5 billion and preserved seniors access to their doctors, while ensuring a lifesaving medical treatment will still be available for vulnerable patients who need it."
