Sadly the presidient will never read or see this.
he didnt even read HIS stimulus package that Pelozi wrote.

All we can do is cross our fingers and hope he does us right by his Health Care Plan.

thanks for the PM Zach - It might be a symptom of an underlying problem that the letter didn't engage me to read it closely (or maybe I haven't been able to read anything too closely lately). 

I understand the thinking behind the letter. I think the letter could have made a stronger case by focusing on three action items - Medicare CKD Reimbursement Reform; Create, fund and cede power to a Kidney Patient Quality Committee; We need quality data that is meaningful, transparent, audited and based on independent research.

Three is always better then ten unless you're David Letterman.

[Bill Peckham]

I don't think I was clear that I think the objectives are good and I am saying that we should advocate for the same objectives - the narrative would be how they would be addressed by the three action items.
