Medicare funding cuts would lead to deaths

I am shocked at a proposal to cut $940 million in Medicare funding for dialysis. Why? Because I am only one of the people on this treatment among many others, and without this treatment I would die.

It is a life-and-death treatment. What right does the system have to vote on this life-and-death situation?
