Just read this over the Headlines…isn’t this part of the CHAMP BILL?

I’m not sure if it could be more confusing but yes this whole thing will probably get vetoed. Here is a nice run down of the political maneuvering from kaiser:

The CHAMP bill was the House’s version of the SCHIP legislation but the Senate passed their own version which did not include the whole dialysis cut/bundling piece. In conference it seems that they are going to go with the Senate version which will then receive a veto from the President.

This all was known months ago which makes the aakp’s advocacy of cuts even harder to understand. I do appreciate the aakp revealing to us all that they are now in the business of advocating for kids and taxpayers at dialyzor’s expense - it eliminates any thought I had of supporting their organization.
