WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE-02), Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), co-sponsors of the Living Donor Protection Act, Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, Reverend Al Sharpton, civil rights and social justice leader, and Al B. Sure!, universally celebrated recording artist and liver transplant recipient, joined the Honor the Gift coalition and the American Association of Kidney Patient's (AAKP) Chair of Policy and Global Affairs Paul T. Conway, and other leaders in the field for a press conference on Capitol Hill, calling on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra, and President Joe Biden to stop the current attempt by private contractors to rollback Medicare coverage for innovative molecular blood tests for transplant patients.

Key Points: 
  • The critical tests at issue help detect organ transplant rejection early and reduce the need for invasive biopsies.
  • For example, many transplant patients receive these sequential blood tests post-transplant to monitor their transplanted organ.
  • The results of each blood test can provide a potential early warning of organ transplant rejection and injury before other indicators.
  • Especially troubling is that some of these patients who have not received testing may unknowingly be suffering from asymptomatic organ transplant rejection.

This agreement will focus on the metal characterization and ballistic testing properties of IperionX’s high-strength titanium plate components.

Key Points: 
  • This agreement will focus on the metal characterization and ballistic testing properties of IperionX’s high-strength titanium plate components.
  • The United States has very limited domestic primary titanium metal (titanium sponge) capacity and currently imports over 95% of the titanium sponge required for the U.S. defense sector.
  • IperionX plans to re-shore a fully integrated titanium supply chain to the U.S., reduce the acute reliance on titanium imports from foreign nations, and strengthen the domestic titanium supply chain for critical defence systems.
  • The potential to produce titanium plate, with all of its capabilities, that is cost-competitive with aluminium and steel only helps us improve the operational performance and readiness of Army ground systems.”
    “We are honored to collaborate with DEVCOM GVSC to evaluate our titanium products for U.S. Army ground vehicles.
