Nearly 200 teens from across the country -- nearly half living with cystic fibrosis -- participated in the Foundation's Virtual Teen Advocacy Day to advocate for the CF community.
As part of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's ninth annual Teen Advocacy Day, 162 advocates from 38 states met with elected officials in Washington, D.C., to tell their stories and make sure the cystic fibrosis community is heard in ongoing health care reform discussions.
During the annual event, volunteers advocated for the PASTEUR Act and the HELP Copays Act, two bipartisan pieces of legislation that could have substantial, positive impact on the CF community.
On Monday, April 1, the CF Foundation joined 16 other patient and consumer groups in filing an amicus brief supporting vital patient protections and coverage expansion included in the Affordable Care Act in the appeal of the Texas v. United States decision, which struck down the constitutionality of the health care law in 2018.
