Make Your Voice Heard and Help Get RESTORE Passed!

The Momentum Is Growing. The Work Is Not Done.

With more than 90 Congressional cosponsors, bipartisan support for the Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act (H.R. 2199/S. 1173) continues to grow. But support alone is not enough. The next step is turning that momentum into legislative action.

For individuals living with kidney failure, access to quality, affordable healthcare is more than a policy issue. It is about stability, choice, and peace of mind for patients and their families.

The Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act would help protect dialysis patients’ ability to maintain their private health insurance coverage during the 30-month Medicare coordination period. This critical legislation would help preserve patients’ coverage options as they navigate life-changing treatment decisions, financial responsibilities, and access to care.

The growing number of Congressional cosponsors reflects the collective efforts of advocates across the country who continue to amplify their voices and share their experiences. Their advocacy is making a difference, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are listening.

But our work is far from finished.

Every Voice Matters. Every Conversation Counts.

Dialysis Patient Citizens (DPC) remains committed to ensuring that kidney patients’ voices are heard and their healthcare choices remain a priority. With the 119th Congress nearing its conclusion, now is the time to build on the momentum already achieved and urge Congress to advance the Restore Act. We invite advocates across the country to continue sharing their stories and engaging with elected officials. Every voice matters and together, we can make a difference.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the members of Congress who have demonstrated their commitment to dialysis patients by cosponsoring the Restore Act. To those who have not yet joined this bipartisan effort, we invite you to stand alongside your colleagues and the patients and families whose lives are directly impacted by this legislation. Your support can help turn growing momentum into meaningful protections for dialysis patients across America.

We’ve built the momentum. Now let’s turn it into meaningful action for dialysis patients across America.
