The National Kidney Foundation of Florida Commends Senator Thad Altman, Representative Ritch Workman for Co-Sponsoring 'Common Sense' Legislation Widely Hailed as 'Good for Patients, Good for Taxpayers, Good for Florida'

ete their income in order to enter receive Medicaid assistance.

The proposed legislation, SB 1022 and HB 675, would provide this same access to Medigap for approximately 500 Florida end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients under age 65 who are in need of secondary coverage. Since the legislation will prevent more individuals from having to enter the state's Medicaid program it is anticipated to create savings for taxpayers, and analyses of the 28 states with similar coverage have shown that expanding access to Medigap has not increased insurance premiums.

"This legislation is an example of a thoughtful, solution-oriented program that can improve patients' experience - helping them avoid serious financial hardship, treatment delays, and, at times, complications with their condition - while also saving taxpayers money," said Stephanie Hutchinson, NKF of Florida CEO. "This bill would be a win-win for all concerned, and we hope to see its passage soon deliver a reduction in Florida Medicaid applicants, improved care, and greater financial savings for our state."
