The bill titled "An Act relative to Medicare coverage of end-stage renal disease" proposes an amendment to Chapter 176k of the General Laws of Massachusetts. Specifically, it seeks to remove the phrase "other than a person eligible for Medicare coverage due solely to end-stage renal disease" from Section 1, thereby broadening the eligibility criteria for Medicare coverage related to end-stage renal disease.

If enacted, this legislation would allow more individuals suffering from end-stage renal disease to qualify for Medicare coverage, potentially improving access to necessary healthcare services for this population. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
