The prominent question is will Burwell &#8220;Commit to replacing the lifetime deferral policy by the end of 2014?&#8221; And if a blood-screening network is established, when would it be functional, and would it need to be up and running to roll back the ban?<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers expect Burwell to address the matter before or on Dec. 22.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read the letter
