#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 Get more helpful tips: bit.ly/3B5K347

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.
