Vigorito attacks hospital over denied kidney aid in Florida
Congressman Joseph Vigorito released a telegram accusing a Tampa hospital of denying a young girl life saving kidney dialysis due to payment concerns. He introduced the National Kidney Disease Act to fund a five year program for kidney disease planning and research, backed by the National Kidney Foundation and bipartisan support in Congress and the Senate. The girl Joanne Mezucci of North Port Charlotte was unconscious and in critical condition when denied access to a dialysis machine that could have saved her life. The hospital reportedly refused because neither she nor her parents could guarantee payments up to about 15000 dollars annually from Social Security and a veterans pension.
