Thank you to our GA Advocates for making the legislative day in Atlanta such a success yesterday! Step therapy reform is possible when we mobilize to share our important patient stories. #AdvocateforArthritis

It’s #PainAwarenessMonth! This month we’re asking Americans to help make arthritis and its consequences more visible so it’s not a forgotten epidemic. Learn more: https://t.co/6BG1lJ9Z4M

People with chronic diseases deserve health care that is adequate, accessible, and affordable. Association health plans are exempt from patient protections and can decline coverage for pre-existing conditions like #arthritis. It’s time to #DefendPreEx. #AdvocateforArthritis

[Arthritis Foundation @ArthritisFdn]

We’re thrilled that the @US_FDA is taking into account the patient voice in its new draft guidance. If you want to stay in the loop on #osteoarthritis & our OA clinical trial network, which provides inclusive research support, visit https://t.co/9ROKYPaFsD. (5/5)

We've long been guided by this principle: patients who are stable on a medication should be able to remain on that medication. A policy announced by @HHSGov may have unintended consequences for patients enrolled in Medicare Advantage. https://t.co/ZHdLQhpOj2 #AdvocateforArthritis
