Senate Contacts for bill S565

Bill for Transplant drug coverage
HR1458 and S565 are in both still in committee and could use your support (have been in committee since last April and March)! Tell your federal representatives how they could save $30,000 to $60,000 a year for every person they can keep off of dialysis. These bills would continue coverage for transplant drugs instead of stopping payments at 3 years. No more worrying about losing a job and insurance, or not getting a transplant in the first place because a person doesn't know how they will cover the price of the meds.

(And see below)
Here are the members of the "Senate Finance Committee - subcommittee on Health Care" - one of the places where S565 is stuck. Most of the members can be contacted easily through their webpages, even by people outside the Senator's states. One Senator can be contacted by postal mail.
I get the impression if this bill doesn't get enough attention it will die in committee - let's do our part to get it going again!
(Bill HR1458 is the House version of this bill, see the "House of Representatives contacts for HR1458" topic for contacts in the House)
