Thankful to the @CABiotech for the opportunity to join these amazing advocates - @RichardZaldivar and @StevenSchultzAF to talk with policy makers about protecting patient assistance programs.
#bleedingdisorders #allcopayscount #advocacy
Today marks my final day with the @ArthritisFdn / @AFAdvocacy. In my time at the org, I am proud to have led successful coalitions of many enacted laws in various states that have helped make it easier for patients to access & afford their crucial medications and treatments
I am also proud of my direct and indirect fundraising for the organization. Directly, we were able to raise $12,000 together for the Arthritis Foundation through various efforts, such as through my participation at the California Coast Classic bike ride.
I’ll be eternally grateful to the mentors, colleagues, patients, parents, caregivers, medical professionals, & more (many now friends) that I have had the opportunity to work with over the last 8 years. No matter what org, I will always be an #advocateforarthritis

Copay assistance is a lifeline for millions of Americans living with chronic illnesses. Sadly, insurers are pocketing assistance intended for patients with serious, chronic health conditions. It’s time to make #AllCopaysCount: allcopayscount.org

#DYK? Copay accumulators allow insurers to pocket the copay assistance meant for patients with chronic health conditions – making it harder for them to get critical medications. It's time to make #AllCopaysCount!

14 states & Puerto Rico have required health plans to count all copay assistance towards patient health care costs. It’s time for DC to join. Pass B24-557 @marycheh @CMLewisGeorgeW4

Alternative therapies like massage, acupuncture and hypnosis may help reduce pain, however, complementary therapies such as these (see 🧵) should not replace doctor-prescribed treatments. #PainAwarenessMonth

What’s harder than tackling cancer? Battling the insurance system, @LAGurwitch writes in Outlook. wapo.st/3eFU6UD

Thanks to @HIVHep @ArthritisFdn @LUNGevity @DrugChannels for explaining this confusing and predatory system. 14 states have outlawed accumulators and maximizers, let's pass #HR5801 The Help Co-Pay Act and make it all 50.
