The bill titled "An Act relative to Medicare coverage of end-stage renal disease" seeks to amend Chapter 176k of the General Laws of Massachusetts. Specifically, it proposes to remove the phrase "other than a person eligible for Medicare coverage due solely to end-stage renal disease" from Section 1. This change aims to clarify and potentially expand the eligibility criteria for Medicare coverage related to end-stage renal disease.

If enacted, the bill will take effect immediately upon passage, thereby allowing for a more inclusive approach to Medicare coverage for individuals suffering from end-stage renal disease. This legislative change reflects an effort to ensure that those affected by this condition receive the necessary support and healthcare services under Medicare.
