@MeghanMcCain@mitchellreports Meghan, many cancer patients develop #lymphedema as a result of surgery & treatment. Medicare & many insurance do not cover the medically necessary compression vital for proper treatment. Please ask your father to cosponsor the @LymphedemaAct S497 when he returns to DC.
#Lymphedema can develop after #cancer surgery and treatment, yet #Medicare and many insurances do not cover compression supplies and garments which are essential to proper treatment. Congress needs to pass the @LymphedemaAct! #WorldCancerDay2018
