--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So has everyone seen this months NN&I? Mine comes a little late but glad to see the 3 or 4 articles on nocturnal and home hemo.Especially glad to seeDr. Blaggs and Lockridge article.on HR 1759. It is finally going to see the light of day!!!!! Finally some real exposure. Home hemo is coming full circle. Let's just do everything we can to get these bills passed. Write, email get signatures and get them to you Senators and Congress people. It's time to move the forces.

I would have to agree, Jfwag. It is long past time for these choices in treatment to be readily available. Here is a site that makes it easy to write, a person just has to type in their zip code. Their federal representatives contact info will then come up:<

Let's not waste an opportunity to get these bills passed. Hopefully promoting more dialysis which is better for everyone and encourage the start up of home programs again. The way the East Coast is getting snockered with snow this week; I sure am glad were doing home hemo. Suppose there is any chance we can get the government to mandate home programs be available to all patients?

Count on me to voice my opinion, especially since living in Jersey seems to have it's own share of problems with home hemo, both availability and accessability. Lin.
