More than 3,700 low-income patients in California rely on medical financial assistance from nonprofit charities to help them afford the cost of their life-saving dialysis treatment and other medical expenses.
Dialysis is not optional. Patients with kidney failure need dialysis three times a week, three to four hours at a time. Without it, they will die.
Assembly Bill 290, sponsored by big insurance companies, would eliminate this financial assistance, forcing patients to choose between the treatments that keep them alive or food, shelter and other necessities.
Under AB 290, insurance companies make more money, but it is an attack on vulnerable, low-income patients.
Please protect the medical financial lifeline that thousands of patients need to survive.
Join patients, doctors, and citizens and urge your legislator to REJECT AB 290.
