Former Speaker Newt Gingrich: “Medicare’s Private Contractors Must Stop Gaslighting Transplant Patients and Fix Its Mistake”
The Honor the Gift coalition would like to thank Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich for joining the fight to roll back Medicare cuts on non-invasive blood tests for transplant patients to detect early signs of rejection. His support demonstrates the broad bi-partisan call for action to be taken by President Biden and Secretary Xavier Becerra: cancel or “rescind” their March published guidance limiting coverage and stop all attempts to change Medicare coverage that ties surveillance or routine blood tests to biopsies.
Medicare’s Private Contractors Must Stop Gaslighting Transplant Patients and Fix Its Mistake
Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich
Once again, the government is getting between patients and their doctors to ration care—and it’s endangering my own family.
Due to rare a lung disease that runs in the McPherson side of my family, two of my siblings have had lung transplants. Further, my sister-in-law has had a liver transplant. When my brother Randy received his transplant four years ago at our local hospital, INOVA, he stayed at our house for months while he recovered. I have personally witnessed the physical and emotional journey of a loved one who needs a transplant – and the relief and joy of being given a second chance through the gift of a donated organ.
