"I urge California Sen. Alex Padilla to champion the bipartisan End Kidney Deaths Act ( H.R. 2687). This bill represents a rare bipartisan and bicameral opportunity to save 100,000 lives and dramatically reduce taxpayer spending by $37 billion. I donated a kidney to a stranger at some personal risk and expense. The EKDA is a 10-year pilot program for refundable tax credits that will produce more donations for those who have been waiting the longest."
"Bipartisan co-authors have over 40 co-sponsors in the House and Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas will introduce the bill in the Senate if a Democratic senator joins him. Senator Padilla is a leader on health care equity and has shown courage on tough issues with principled leadership. His co-sponsorship will ensure this bill will be bipartisan, fiscally responsible and morally urgent reform. Please save lives, taxpayer dollars and show that bold, bipartisan action is still possible in Washington."
"Many thanks for your excellent article. I always wondered which organs and tissues were transplantable; now I know - lots. As a result of your article, I became a donor. Please consider becoming one too. Anyone can become an organ donor regardless of age, ethnicity or medical history. We can save lives."
The End Kidney Deaths Act (H.R. 2687) is proposed as a bipartisan, bicameral 10-year pilot offering refundable tax credits to increase living kidney donations. Proponents state the bill could save roughly 100,000 lives and cut taxpayer spending by about $37 billion. The proposal has more than 40 House co-sponsors and Senator Jerry Moran will introduce a Senate companion if a Democratic senator joins him. One signer donated a kidney to a stranger and urges California Senator Alex Padilla to co-sponsor. Many organs and tissues are transplantable. Registering as a donor can save lives. A cancelled concert left attendees frustrated after they had bought tickets, arranged travel, and set aside time to attend.
