Thank you, @RepLoriTrahan, for cosponsoring the Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act (H.R. 2199)!
Thank you for supporting legislation that strengthens kidney care insurance benefits and helps ensure people living with kidney disease have access to life-sustaining treatment.
For people living with kidney disease, stable, affordable insurance coverage can be a matter of life or death. 🎥 Hear from DPC Patient Ambassador Cassie Bertwell as she urges Congress to protect access to lifesaving care, allowing patients to focus on their health instead of medical bills.
Cassie's story is featured in a video series from Dialysis Patient Citizens, a KCP member, supporting the Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act (S. 1173 / H.R. 2199).
DPC Patient Ambassador Cassie Bertwell is speaking out for dialysis patients. 💙
Cassie is urging Congress to support the Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act (S. 1173 / H.R. 2199) and protect access to stable, affordable private insurance coverage for people living with kidney failure.
When coverage becomes unstable, dialysis patients can face gaps in care, financial hardship, and disruptions to lifesaving treatment. Restoring these long-standing protections would help patients maintain private insurance during the critical transition period before Medicare becomes their primary coverage.
Thousands of dialysis patients didn’t choose their disease—but they should be able to choose the coverage that works best for them. Join Cassie and DPC in urging Congress to pass the Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act and help protect coverage and access to care for dialysis patients working toward a transplant.

Millions of Americans are living with kidney disease, and more than 500,000 rely on dialysis to stay alive.
Congress has the opportunity to expand access to new, innovative treatment options by passing the Kidney Care Access Protection Act (H.R. 6214 / S. 2730).

Every dialysis patient has a story. 🎥 Hear from DPC Board President Quiana Bishop as she shares her kidney care journey.
Her video is part of a testimonial series from @PatientCitizen, a KCP member, highlighting why the Kidney Care Access Protection Act (S. 2730 / H.R. 6214) is important to sustaining dialysis clinics, supporting the kidney care workforce, and protecting patient access to innovative treatments.
For more than 10 years, DPC Board President Quiana Bishop has relied on dialysis to stay alive. Over that decade, she’s worked with countless healthcare professionals who play a critical role in helping her receive safe, quality care and stay healthy. But across many communities—especially rural communities—rising costs, workforce shortages, and inadequate reimbursement are putting increasing pressure on dialysis clinics. When staffing levels decline, patients feel the impact directly, especially those who depend on skilled healthcare professionals and the resources they need to provide safe, effective care. Investing in innovation doesn’t just benefit patients; it also supports the professionals who give their all to caring for the kidney community. That’s why DPC is calling on Congress to pass the bipartisan Kidney Care Access Protection Act (KCAPA) — S. 2730 / H.R. 6214. This legislation would help improve care for dialysis patients, expand access to new and innovative therapies, address ongoing workforce challenges, and help ensure patients continue to receive the care they depend on. Strengthening kidney care isn’t optional; it’s lifesaving. 🎥 Watch Quiana’s story and learn more about why KCAPA matters.
