NAIMES continues to work with key legislators and industry supporters to permanently repeal the ill-conceived bidding program that guarantees decreased patient access to medical equipment at home, reduces competition, and eliminates patient choice.
NAIMES enthusiastically supports H.R. 2373, the Home Oxygen Patient Protection Act (HOPP Act) of 2009. The HOPP Act may help a million oxygen patients to breathe easier by easing the burdens placed on them by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA).
Most Americans prefer to be cared for at home. Older Americans in particular prefer home care over comparable care in nursing homes or hospitals. Home care is always cost effective compared to hospital care.
NAIMES continues to work with key legislators and industry supporters to permanently repeal the ill-conceived bidding program that guarantees decreased patient access to medical equipment at home, competition and eliminates choice. NAIMES continues to aggressively support H.R. 3790, to repeal competitive bidding.
