The national durable medical equipment provider was active in achieving the state's passage to make breast pumps and incontinence products used by both children and adults tax-free following devoted advocacy efforts.
ASHEVILLE, N.C., June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As a leading provider of durable medical equipment (DME) and supplies, Aeroflow Healthcare is pleased to celebrate another successful state legislation change that it actively advocated for with the passing of Florida's diaper and breast pump tax exemption.
Aeroflow Healthcare is committed to driving tax exemption for key durable medical equipment products across the United States. Florida was home to more than 200,000 new moms in 2020, a figure expected to grow annually, of which many consider breast pumps for child feeding, and over 2.5 million seniors who use incontinence products daily. While the state initially created a one-year tax exemption for only children's diapers, ending June 30, 2023, legislators created a permanent tax elimination in May that extends to breast pumps, diapers and senior incontinence supplies, all of which will greatly improve the lives of many Floridians who struggle to afford these products.
"Aeroflow is a staunch advocate for providing access to critical medical supplies that new moms, children, seniors and other patients across all income levels depend on, and are thrilled to participate in this legislative win in Florida, " said Ryan Bullock, COO of Aeroflow Healthcare. "We just celebrated the passage of North Dakota's diaper tax exemption, and believe there is clear momentum among state governments and the general public to advance legislation where it still doesn't exist. The entire Aeroflow team led by its government affairs group remains focused on ensuring that all patients have access to the necessary supplies and equipment they need to manage their health conditions."
This legislative news follows Aeroflow Healthcare's announcement around their government relations program, which is aimed to improve equitable access to care, and vocalize policies at both the state and federal level to remove barriers that are currently blocking patient access. While Aeroflow Healthcare has been providing high-quality medical equipment and supplies to patients across the country for over a decade, the addition of their government relations program will allow them to continue advocating for policies, such as this Florida passage, to ensure more patients can access the medically-necessary products and resources for their quality of life.
