Today, 36 leading health advocacy organizations sent a letter to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-ID) underscoring the value to patients of Medicare’s 6 protected classes policy.
​
The letter was signed by leading health advocacy organizations, including the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, the Cancer Support Community, Epilepsy Foundation, HIV+Hepatits Policy Institute, the American Kidney Fund, Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, The Kennedy Forum, and Mental Health America. The letter states,

“This policy has been a vital protection for patients and restricting access to these therapies would have major, life-threatening consequences for patients and increase the likelihood of costly hospitalizations and emergency room visits…”

The letter was sent in response to a request for information sent by Senate Finance Committee leadership on September 22, 2021.
