As a kidney transplant tecipient, I urge everyone to ask the Connecticut Senate to follow the lead of Connecticut’s House and pass HB6387, the Living Donor Protection Act, which will provide comprehensive care for our Kidney Patients. This Act will:
• Eliminate discrimination against living donors in the procurement of life, disability, and long-term care insurance. Insurance companies cannot drop a living donor, change their premiums, or refuse coverage based on their status as a living kidney donor.
• Develop health education programs to increase awareness of chronic kidney disease amongst primary care physicians and the citizens of Connecticut.
American Kidney Fund Applauds New Jersey, Washington for Enacting Protections for Living Organ Donors
ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2021 / The American Kidney Fund (AKF) commends New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and Washington Governor Jay Inslee for signing into law important protections for living organ donors. The new laws prohibit life, disability and long-term care insurers from discriminating against living organ donors by declining or limiting coverage due to someone s status as an organ donor and from precluding a person from donating all or part of an organ as a condition of their policy.
AKF worked closely with New Jersey A3199/S2315 primary bill sponsor, Assemblywoman Carol Murphy, to move the bill through the General Assembly, and with Washington SB 5003 sponsor, Sen. Karen Keiser, to move the bill through the State Legislature.
