Cotton Statement on HELP Committee Passage of Living Donor Protection Act
Washington, D.C.—Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement after Senate HELP Committee’s passage of the Living Donor Protection Act:
“I’m grateful for the overwhelming bipartisan support for my Living Donor Protection Act in yesterday’s HELP Committee markup. Organ donation is an extraordinary sacrifice that gives someone else a new life and donors should be protected from adverse consequences. My bill encourages donation by prohibiting insurance companies from denying or limiting coverage solely based on their status as a living organ donor. I’m thankful for Senator Gillibrand, HELP Committee Chairman Cassidy, and the entire Senate HELP Committee for passing this legislation by a large margin. I look forward to supporting this important legislation on the Senate floor.”
