<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All, I'm working on a chronic disease project for Health Care for America Now to spotlight how people with chronic conditions like celiac disease often have trouble accessing all of the resources they need. For example, Did your insurance company deny coverage of a celiac blood test or endoscopy? Have you gone to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription medication only to find out that it isn't covered and going to cost you a fortune? Would you like to see a dietitian for nutritional counseling but your insurance won't cover it and it is too expensive to pay for out of pocket? Or....are you a medical professional and have a story to tell about your patients having trouble paying for care because of insurance issues? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I need your help! As part of the national health care reform team, I'm looking to show lawmakers and the media how patients with chronic conditions are in desperate need of changes to the health care system to help them better manage their health on a daily basis. So, if you have a story, please share it. Your story will put an incredible human face on this very complex public policy issue and truly help America move towards a health care system that works around the clock for people with chronic diseases.
