Organ donors and health insurance

I have gotten this (or similar) e-mail four times today. I cannot find any information that the healthcare bill specifically addresses living donors and health insurance. If anyone has more info please let me know.
Thanks,
Karol

Here is what has been going around:

Hi everyone..

I had to share the info forwarded below on health care reform because it was very focused on an issue near and dear to our hearts; how being an organ donor can result later on in that donor being denied health insurance coverage, because their "gift of life" is considered a "pre-existing condition." If you feel strongly that this is wrong, please take a moment and call your reps in Congress today; and remember the other important issues in health care reform in the interests of renal patients: lifetime immunosuppressants coverage and universal access to Medigap Supplemental Insurance.

Please call your Senators and House District Representative; there is a hyperlink highlighted below the "Time to Deliver" logo to find the contact info for your them.

There is so much going on in the renal world these days, but Congress needs to hear our voices...

Thanks for listening... take care..

Subj: 100,000 calls to Congress

Organizing for America

Jenny U. from Missouri did what any parent would: When her son needed a kidney, she donated one of hers. But she didn't realize insurance companies would use her kindness as an excuse to never cover her again, calling her donation a "pre-existing condition."

Now, insurance companies are spending millions on a campaign of lies to kill health reform that would help folks like Jenny. So, today, with crucial negotiations taking place in Congress, we're raising our voices and making it clear: It's time to deliver on reform.

We've set a big goal: 100,000 calls to Congress made or committed to in a single day. To hit it, we'll need your help -- will you take 3 minutes to call Congress now?

Call your representatives and tell them: It's Time to Deliver on health reform. Please call !

In order to find the contact info on your reps., use this link ( Click here to look yours up.)

Health insurance reform is finally ready for consideration by the full Congress, and hundreds of insurance company lobbyists on Capitol Hill are working overtime to kill it. Calling is quick and easy, but effective -- and your voice has tremendous power at this critical moment.

After you make your call, tell the staffer who picks up where you live and that you're counting on Congress to deliver on health reform. Let them know that Americans like you support the President's plan -- and that if your representatives are working to pass it, they have your thanks.

If we hit 100,000 calls made or committed to, we'll send an unmistakable signal that this time, families must come before insurance companies. We'll be tracking progress toward our goal publicly -- make sure to report your call back to us so we can count it:
