.@RepTiffany @SenRonJohnson @SenatorBaldwin will you support $20 million in #MSResearch funding for the MS Research Program at the Department of Defense, protecting telehealth access, & passing comprehensive #PBMReform this year? Your support is crucial! #MSactivist

@SenatorBaldwin @SenRonJohnson I am asking you to support $20 million in funding for the MS Research Program at the Dept. of Defense, protecting telehealth access, & passing
comprehensive #PBMReform this year. Will you help? Your support is necessary! #MSactivist

[Diane Whitcraft @dmwhitcraftMS]

.@RepTiffany will you join us in urging @CMSgov to act on the coverage of standing systems for power wheelchairs? Medicare’s lack of coverage leaves many, including those living with MS, without access to technology that allows them to live their best lives. #MSActivist

[Diane Whitcraft @dmwhitcraftMS]

.@RepTiffany @SenRonJohnson @SenatorBaldwin As a MS activist, I won’t stop until MS meds are affordable & accessible. Will you commit to passing comprehensive PBM reform this year? I stopped taking my MS med. PBMs made it an inaccessible & unaffordable Tier 5 drug!#MSactivist

@RepTiffany. can | count on you to support funding #MSResearch and other MS priorities as part of FY25?
These bills fund critical MS research, programs and services that we need to live our best lives. As your constituent with MS, having you on our side is essential!#MSactivist

[Diane Whitcraft @dmwhitcraftMS]

.@RepTiffany @SenRonJohnson @SenatorBaldwin Please pass the FY25 spending bills! These bills help fund critical #MSResearch, and programs and services that people with MS rely on to live their best lives. I have coped with MS for 44 years. I hope & pray for your help! #MSActivist

“Theft is wrong, and that's what these insurance companies are doing by stealing people's coupons.” @VickiMcKenna demands #PBMReform via #AllCopaysCount bills SB 737/AB 773. The time for talk is over. Time to urge your WI lawmaker to act! https://t.co/rhBNKcFcyX

[Wisconsin All Copays Count Coalition @WI4Patients]

A 2023 @AIDSadvocacy report found 8 of 13 commercially available health insurance plans in WI don’t count the value of copay assistance toward patients' annual deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. It is unfair to patients. We need SB 737 to become law. #AllCopaysCount

.@SenRonJohnson @SenatorBaldwin I am counting on you to pass an FAA reauthorization bill that includes accessible air travel provisions to improve the air travel experience of passengers with disabilities? The December 31 deadline is approaching! #MSActivist #TravelWithDignity

[Diane Whitcraft @dmwhitcraftMS]

.@SenRomaineQuinn Unfair PBM practices and copay accumulators limit access to essential medications. It's time for a fair, patient-centric approach to healthcare. Please join @MaryFelzkowski and @RepSchraa in authoring legislation to make #AllCopaysCount #MSActivist

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

Our veterans have made tremendous sacrifices to defend our freedoms and we owe it to them to ensure they receive the benefits they’ve earned. I have a bill to do just that.

Next step: the House and then the President’s desk!

[Christina @WorkingtoEndMS]

Unfair PBM practices & copay accumulators are a double whammy for patients, squeezing their wallets & limiting access to essential medications. It's time for a fair, patient-centric approach to healthcare. Thanks @MaryFelzkowski for sponsoring legislation to make #AllCopaysCount

[Diane Whitcraft @dmwhitcraftMS]

@BTalente Thank you, @BTalente, for always advocating for accessible & affordable medications for those of us who live with MS. Your diligence & persistence provides realistic hope. So glad you have my back! I have yours! #MSactivist
