Bill 204 - Patients Need Plasma

On Monday, I rose in the House and expressed my support for Bill 204: the Voluntary Blood Donations Repeal Act. A secure supply of plasma is a cornerstone of a modern twenty-first century health care system. The repeal of the Voluntary Blood Donations Act will help patients by making our plasma supply less dependent on international supply which can be unreliable at the best of times. This Bill will allow those who need plasma to have access immediately, and allow our most vulnerable to feel secure.
