The Voices of People Living with an Ostomy Were Heard on Capitol Hill

65 advocates in UOAA’s Advocacy Network participated in a virtual Ostomy Hill Day on Sept. 30. We educated Congress on the greatest threat facing our community in decades: the inclusion of ostomy supplies in Medicare’s Competitive Bidding program.

And now there is good news from our partners that the "Access to Medical Supplies Act" has been introduced. A bill to delay and review competitive bidding. Ask your Congressperson to become a co-sponsor of H.R. 10787!
