"Every day, I see the life-altering consequences kidney failure has on an individual, their family and the community," said Nancy Scott, an ESRD patient, retired registered nurse and DaVita Patient Citizens member who spoke at today's event on Capitol Hill. "For the 400,000 Americans who depend on the Medicare ESRD benefit, living with kidney failure is made possible. As a former health care provider, community advocate and dialysis patient, I fully understand the importance of preserving and reforming this program. I hope our voices are heard throughout Congress today."
