Advocate

This year, Congress will debate and create laws that impact the every-day lives of individuals with pulmonary hypertension. Laws about healthcare services, insurance coverage, copay assistance programs and more. The Pulmonary Hypertension Association makes it easy for you to educate your elected officials about the needs of the PH community. Be heard. Be a PH advocate.

Breaking: The Senate released a new proposal to overhaul the Affordable Care Act. The bill aligns with PHA’s health care principles in some areas but is problematic in others including significant cuts to Medicaid.

Senate leaders want a vote on a health care bill before July 4, but the proposal is still being debated and changed. Additional information is expected from the Congressional Budget Office on Monday and PHA will continue to analyze the proposal and update the PH community over the coming week. Check back over the next few days for updated action opportunities.

Schedule an In-Person Visit

Your elected officials work for you. Meeting with them to share your story is an effective way to gain their support of legislation affecting PH patients. There are several ways to meet with your Members of Congress, including visiting their local office, attending a town hall or inviting your senator or representative to your support group meeting.

PHA can set up an in-person meeting for you and provide all the information and materials you need. Email us to get started! Or, to set up a visit yourself, start with our search tool to find contact information for your Members of Congress.
