Fifty Bipartisan House Members Defend Protected Classes Policy

3/5/2014

 
Picture
On March 5, 2014, fifty members of the House Energy & Commerce and Ways & Means Committees penned a letter opposing a proposed Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rule that would eliminate protected class status for several categories of drugs under Medicare Part D. The lawmakers say that the rule, which will eliminate protected class status for several categories of drugs, will place harmful limits on Medicare beneficiaries’ access to necessary medications that would otherwise be covered. The group stated that Part D has “demonstrated the ability to provide access to important life-saving and life-enhancing medications for the vast majority of America’s seniors and non-elderly people with severe disabilities.” Click below to view the letter.
