Dear Mr President: "Tear Down This Wall"

Dear Mr. Obama, We cheered you when, against the odds, you introduced health care reform. Now we need your help in supporting a bipartisan effort on behalf of kidney transplant recipients. As you know, since 1972 Medicare has covered patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). While there is no Medicare time limit for coverage of a dialysis patient, kidney transplant recipients lose their Medicare coverage 36 months after a transplant1. Medicare covers 80% of immunosuppressant costs for 3 years post-transplant, while patients and/or insurers cover the rest. Patients who are >age 65 and/or disabled are legally exempt from these limitations in coverage.
