WASHINGTON, Dec. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP), the largest and oldest kidney patient organization in the United States, released the following statement upon President Donald J. Trump’s signing of bipartisan, Congressionally authorized immunosuppressive drug coverage provisions for kidney transplant patients. The provisions were included in Congressional actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic relief package and $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill. AAKP patient volunteers used the organization’s sophisticated communications systems to drive Congressional action and mobilize the most comprehensive national grassroots campaign in its 50-year history, the effort included, coordinated local virtual kidney patient networks, text messages, emails, and multiple social media platforms. In 2018, AAKP launched the first kidney patient voter registration campaign in the kidney community, «Kidney Voters,» which expanded exponentially in 2020 and has provided unique data insights to better target kidney patient voices in national policy debates and Congressional deliberations. AAKP will engage and educate over 500,000 «Kidney Voters» by 2024.

The new coverage provisions end the current, arbitrary 36-month limit on transplant drug coverage for kidney transplant recipients–a massive policy reversal that kidney patient advocates, transplant professionals, and allied members of the kidney community have fought to change for two decades. Kidney transplant patients must take a lifetime course of immunosuppressive drugs to keep their transplanted kidneys working and to prevent organ rejection. Interruptions to drug coverage have serious impacts on transplant recipients; can lead to organ rejection; and a return to high cost, high mortality dialysis–a comparatively less ideal treatment for kidney failure. The Congressional Budget Office reports that the policy change will positively impact hundreds of kidney transplant patients every year and save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars over the next ten years.

AAKP STATEMENT

«The American Association of Kidney Patients extends our appreciation to President Trump for signing pandemic relief for Americans in desperate need and for extending immunosuppressive drug coverage to kidney transplant patients. In 2019, President Trump and HHS Secretary Alex Azar, consistent with insights shared by kidney patients and the medical allies with whom they met, initiated a bold reform vision for the outdated, status quo kidney care system through the Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health. We are pleased Congress also listened to kidney patients and their medical allies and took bipartisan action to support the reform vision. The extension of immunosuppressive drug coverage and elimination of the current, arbitrary 36-month limit removes a long-standing barrier to increased kidney donation, kidney transplantation, and patient care choice. The signing of this bill marks a historic milestone for the first year of the AAKP initiated and led Decade of the Kidney™ and we will closely monitor implementation. In memory of all patient advocates who worked for this policy change, and whose lives ended before they could witness this victory, AAKP will expand our capacities to organize, train, and mobilize kidney patients to achieve even greater transformations to status quo kidney care in the years ahead.»

In 2019, upon the signing of President Trump’s Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health, AAKP launched The Decade of the Kidney™, a strategic effort to organize kidney patient consumers nationally and globally to drive policies to support greater patient care choice, accelerate timely access to treatment options including preemptive kidney transplants, drive innovations including artificial implantable and wearable kidneys, expand kidney precision medicine and research, and prevent kidney injury and disease. AAKP has been a staunch defender of kidney patient care choice and defines quality kidney care as a treatment that best aligns with patient aspirations, including the ability to work full-time or part- time and have a career, to start a family, own a home, and retire securely. AAKP and its allies have worked against corporate dialysis industry efforts in Congress to deny kidney patient consumers their right to care choice and access to treatment innovations and spearheaded kidney patient efforts that helped defeat the controversial Dialysis Patients Demonstration Act. AAKP is currently organizing kidney patients nationwide to defeat another dialysis industry backed bill that limits kidney patient care choice, the «BETTER» Kidney Care Act.

In a statement (read announcement) issued December 21, 2020, U.S. Senate passage of immunosuppressive drug coverage, AAKP thanked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and their Senate colleagues for listening to the voices of kidney patients and reversing the current, arbitrary 36-month limit on transplant drug coverage. Similarly, AAKP issued a statement (read announcement) on December 8, 2020, after the U.S. House of Representatives passed similar language. AAKP thanked Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R- CA), Representatives Ron Kind (D-WI), Michael Burgess (R-TX), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), Jason Smith (R-MO), and all other Congressional Members for respect for kidney patient insights on the need for immunosuppressive drug coverage. AAKP leaders have also recognized the role of U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, Comptroller General of the United States Gene Dodaro, and Congressional Budget Office Directors Phillip Swagel, predecessor Keith Hall, and their staffs for respecting the unique insights and life experiences of patients who have fought to maintain their transplants amidst the loss of immunosuppressive drug coverage.

In November of 2020, over 25 AAKP kidney advocates were recognized with the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) for their ongoing advocacy for kidney transplants and response to the COVID-19 pandemic (read announcement). AAKP patient volunteers provide an independent patient view on kidney issues through sophisticated virtual platforms, international patient group partnerships, clinical journal editorials, television, radio, social media, and a growing Patient Ambassador Initiative. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, AAKP transitioned all 2020 events to free virtual access, prioritized COVID-19 topics, and leveraged tactics to engage a wider audience. In the past eight months, AAKP has broadcasted expert COVID-19 insights through one global and two national virtual events, a dozen webinars, and launched advocacy campaigns to highlight disparities in minority and kidney patient representation in COVID-19 clinical trials and vaccine distribution protocols. Viewership for 2020 AAKP programs now exceeds 80,000 people across 70 countries and is growing rapidly. International and national program faculty have included 90 medical practitioners and researchers, and 60 patient experts. The AAKP Global Summit on Kidney Innovations, conducted in partnership with The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, alone reached over 20,000 patients and professionals worldwide in July of 2020.

AAKP Board Members and patient members play key roles in top federal initiatives including: the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIH/NIDDK) Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP); the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Patient Engagement Advisory Committee (PEAC), the Kidney Health Initiative (KHI), a partnership between the FDA and the American Society of Nephrology as well as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Kidney Innovation Accelerator, or KidneyX.

Established in 1969, AAKP maintains a national and global network of patient advocates, kidney researchers, medical innovation leaders and policy influencers. From 1969-1973, AAKP patients led the effort in the U.S. Congress, alongside senior White House officials, to establish the End Stage Renal Disease Program (ESRD), which has saved over a million lives through modern dialysis coverage as administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Assistance.

LOS ÁNGELES, 24 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El día de hoy, Anthem Records lanzó para el mundo el video musical del ícono internacional «Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary (FN50)«, una nueva grabación del clásico bilingüe «Feliz Navidad« de José Feliciano. Vea el video AQUÍ.

El video fue dirigido por Helen Murphy y Kash Tahen, y se lanzó inicialmente durante este mes en exclusiva para miembros de Amazon Unlimited como parte de una amplia alianza global entre Feliz Navidad 50^th y Amazon. En horas previas del día de hoy, el video se estrenó para el público en Good Morning America. Este video musical da continuidad a la celebración del aniversario 50 del clásico inmortal «Feliz Navidad» de Feliciano, la canción bilingüe más famosa del mundo en todos los tiempos. El video cuenta con la participación de más de 30 de los mejores artistas y celebridades de todo el mundo, quienes unieron fuerzas de manera remota para homenajear a José y crear esta pieza visual conmemorativa tan especial.

El elenco de artistas intérpretes incluido en el video musical «Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary (FN50)» incluye a: José Feliciano, CNCO, Isabela Merced, Shaggy, Jon Secada, Jason Mraz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Rachael Ray, Gloria Gaynor, Big & Rich, Michael Bolton, Los Temerarios, Emmanuel, Isabella Castillo, Jencarlos Canela, Pitingo, Patricia Manterola, Jesús Molina, La India, Julio Iglesias Jr., Tony Carreira, Bertin Osborne, Pablo Montero, El Dasa, Nikki Vianna, Adam Irigoyen, Gord Bamford, Leo Dan, Frankie J, Sam Moore y Styx.

Siendo este el primer video musical de «Feliz Navidad» en sus 50 años de historia, el director Kash Tahen se apoyó en efectos especiales y animaciones vanguardistas para integrar todos los elementos de la celebración de «Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary». Forzados a enfrentar su propio conjunto de retos derivados de la era de la COVID-19, la grabación del video supuso un proceso de planificación largo y detallado, empezando con cada uno de los más de 30 artistas teniendo que grabar los audios y videos desde sus países y en sus respectivos estudios. A medida que se enviaron los archivos digitales, estos pasaron por un meticuloso proceso de análisis y fueron ensamblados por Helen Murphy y el equipo de Anthem Records bajo la asesoría del productor musical Rudy Pérez de FN50, para definir la inclusión en el video con base en las voces y las partes de la canción que cada artista interpreta. En la posproducción, Tahen creó un estudio virtual global utilizando efectos especiales diseñados para transportar a la audiencia entre las diferentes salas. Por ejemplo, se utilizaron ventanas de vidrio para crear la ilusión de que artistas como Shaggy, Jon Secada y Jason Mraz estuvieran grabando en salas contiguas. Las piezas visuales se diseñaron de tal forma que quien disfrute del video pueda sumergirse en el estudio de grabación virtual y vea artistas de renombre mundial cantando y grabando juntos, lo que a su vez despierta el sentido de unidad que yace bajo lo que representa «Feliz Navidad.» El resultado es un mágico y revolucionario video musical que parece no dar cuenta del tiempo que ha pasado desde que fue creado, y que define un nuevo estándar para las producciones globales con múltiples artistas.

ACERCA DE «FELIZ NAVIDAD»
Escrita e interpretada por José Feliciano, «Feliz Navidad» es una de las canciones de Navidad más apreciadas y mejor vendidas de todos los tiempos. El 14 de diciembre de 2020, «Feliz Navidad» alcanzó la posición 10 en el Billboard Hot 100 por primera vez en sus 50 años de historia. Esta es la canción bilingüe de Navidad más famosa de todos los tiempos, y fue reconocida por ASCAP como «una de las 25 canciones más reproducidas y grabada alrededor del mundo». El 19 de noviembre de 2020, Anthem Records lanzó «Feliz Navidad 50th (FN50)» como un Amazon Original, una producción de Rudy Pérez, productor ganador del Grammy.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Anthem Records released worldwide the music video for global icon José Feliciano’s «Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary (FN50)«, the newly reimagined, re-recording of his bilingual classic, «Feliz Navidad.» Watch the video HERE.

The video was directed by Helen Murphy and Kash Tahen, and was initially released this month exclusively to Amazon Unlimited Members as part of a wider global Feliz Navidad 50^th partnership with Amazon. Earlier today, the video made its public premiere on Good Morning America. The music video continues the 50^th anniversary celebration of Feliciano’s timeless holiday classic, «Feliz Navidad,» the most famous, global bilingual song of all time. The video features over 30 A-list artists and celebrities from around the world, who remotely joined forces to honor José and create this very special celebratory visual.

The roster of performing artists featured in the «Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary (FN50)» music video includes: José Feliciano, CNCO, Isabela Merced, Shaggy, Jon Secada, Jason Mraz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Rachael Ray, Gloria Gaynor, Big & Rich, Michael Bolton, Los Temerarios, Emmanuel, Isabella Castillo, Jencarlos Canela, Pitingo, Patricia Manterola, Jesus Molina, La India, Julio Iglesias Jr., Tony Carreira, Bertin Osborne, Pablo Montero, El Dasa, Nikki Vianna, Adam Irigoyen, Gord Bamford, Leo Dan, Frankie J, Sam Moore, and Styx.

Marking the first ever music video for «Feliz Navidad» in its 50-year history, director Kash Tahen used groundbreaking special effects and animation to bring together all the elements of the «Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary» celebration. Presenting its own set of challenges in the era of COVID-19, the making of the video involved a lengthy and detailed planning process, starting with each of the 30+ artists having to record their own audio and video from their respective home countries in their own studios. As the digital files were submitted, they were put through a meticulous analyzation process, and assembled by Helen Murphy and the Anthem Records team in consultation with FN50 music producer Rudy Perez, for inclusion in the video based on the vocals and parts of the song that each artist sang. In post-production, Tahen then created a virtual global studio using special effects meant to transport the viewers from one studio room to another. As an example, glass windows were used to create the illusion that artists like Shaggy and Jon Secada and Jason Mraz were recording in rooms next to each other. The visuals were designed to allow the viewer to be immersed in a virtual recording studio, watching world-renowned artists singing and recording together, in turn fostering the unity that underlies the meaning of «Feliz Navidad.» The result is a groundbreaking, magical music video that has no traces of the time it was created in, and that sets a new standard for multi-artist global productions.
