We Need Your Story

We know that those type of insurance issues are very important to document, and everyone has a story to tell! In 2017, a United States Senator shared that the reason he became so passionate about a ban on lifetime limits was due in part to repeatedly hearing the story of a bleeding disorders patient. Use our Community Chronicles story bank to share why having access solid and consistent health insurance coverage is important to you.

We also want to hear other ways that you advocate on behalf of the bleeding disorders community. Use these questions as thought-starters to help make your voice heard. Please share with us your stories of how you are helping make a change for our community!
