C-TAC was proud to endorse the Legacy Act, a bipartisan bill sponsored by Representatives Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Greg Murphy (R-NC). If enacted, the bill would commission the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine to conduct a study on the establishment of a system for storing last wish documents – seeking to better understand how the healthcare system can better ensure that every individual’s end-of-life wishes are respected. C-TAC is strongly supportive of legislation that will help promote and expand the proper use of various advanced care planning documents. We hope this bill becomes law and provides the necessary evidence base to showcase the substantial benefits advance care planning services has for patients, family caregivers, and providers. C-TAC looks forward to supporting the Legacy Act as it moves through the legislative process.
