Greetings! 

TopI thought July would be a quiet month, but with the Proposed Rule cuts and comment period due by August 30th - not so much! We have received a great response on the Live&Give newsletter; Michelle Kats' article on depression is a must-read. Listen to Yancy share her story about being a partner in her husband's care on the latest KidneyTalk. For all you storytellers out there, don't forget to submit an essay as the deadline is fast approaching.
We Need You to Act Now
Cuts To Medicare, What You Can Do  
Renal Support Network is shocked and dismayed that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed a drastic cut of 12% out of the Medicare ESRD system, which would essentially strip approximately $30 out of the $246 that Medicare currently pays for a 3-4 hour dialysis session.

Help us, as we join others in the kidney community to make sure our representatives in Congress know this is not acceptable.

Find links and information on ways you can take action HERE.

 

Have You Heard the Latest on KidneyTalk?
Yancy and Hector with description

Learning everything she could about kidney disease, dialysis and transplant, so that she could know more about the illness her soon-to-be husband was living with, Yancy decided to pursue a career in Rehabilitation Counseling to help people on dialysis. On their island of Puerto Rico, Yancy and Hector reach out to others with a message of hope, living joyfully, and staying positive. Listen to their inspiring story.Listen Now
