Hawaii HR22 urges Congress to pass H.R. 2687, the End Kidney Deaths Act, to reduce kidney disease deaths and health inequities.
Hawaii HR22 highlights the severe impact of kidney disease and failure, particularly on people of color, rural, and low-income communities. It emphasizes the need for the End Kidney Deaths Act, which would provide tax credits for non-directed living kidney donations, aiming to save lives, reduce health disparities, and lower federal health care costs. The act seeks to increase kidney transplants, which are more effective and cost-efficient than dialysis, and address the shortage of living kidney donors.
