Patients Have Power!

Lilly and Aaron break down a renewed effort to undermine the Affordable Care Act by stripping out the legislation's protections for those living with pre-existing conditions (a list which includes...acne and...(checks notes) pregnancy?). They also chat about the new Right to Try legislation that has recently passed and the various thoughts the patient and pharmaceutical communities had about it.  Mentioned on the pod:  Follow @mattbc, aka Medicare Matt, Esq, who is a lawyer living with a chronic illness who fights for patient rights - his analysis of legislation and the latest legal battles are incredibly helpful.  If you want to get more involve and make your voice heard, a great tool is 5calls.org. It'll find your representatives, their phone numbers, and even provide scripts for you to use when you get through to them.    Patients have power; make sure you to exercise yours everyday.
