CMS’s Regulatory Changes Risk Organ Donation System and Could Cost Lives
As a former surgeon and U.S. representative who led the passage of the Securing the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act, I am committed to ensuring the future of our nation’s organ donation and transplantation system, which I now fear is in jeopardy.
Editor’s Note: SID&T praises Dr. Larry Bucshon’s recent op-ed that follows the previously published work of our Advisory Board members, Drs. Anthony Watkins and Matthew Cooper (as well as other SID&T media placements) rightfully challenging flawed CMS oversight.
