In honor of World Oxygen Day, the CQRC joined national health organizations today to amplify the voices of millions of Americans who rely on supplemental oxygen to live active, full lives while urging Congress to pass comprehensive oxygen reform. Stories from advocates relying on supplemental oxygen, including Colleen Connor, Mary Kitlowski, Tomisa Starr, Janet Mockovciak, and Lee Fogle, highlight how legislation like the Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform Act, also known as the SOAR Act (S. 1406/H.R. 2902), would help Medicare beneficiaries access the proper type and level of oxygen they need to remain independent.

Today is World Oxygen Day, a reminder of the vital role oxygen therapy plays in helping people with complex respiratory conditions manage their health. This day of awareness is a reminder that more work remains to ensure oxygen users can access the care they need to stay active and independent. CQRC appreciates the lawmakers who have championed the Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform (SOAR) Act (H.R. 2902/S. 1406) and helped raise national awareness about the need to remove barriers to accessing medical oxygen. With leadership from Congress, we look forward to continuing our work to get the SOAR Act across the finish line so every patient who depends on oxygen therapy can breathe easier and live healthier. #WorldOxygenDay #SOARActO2 #SupplementalOxygen #OxygenTherapy (fb)
