Thank you @DanPatrick for your longtime support of the hemophilia community. We look forward to a quick passage of HB 999(Rep. Price)-an agreed to bill between patients & healthplans-ensuring payments made by or on behalf of a pt count toward their deductible & out of pocket cost

Our current witness is David Balat, Director of Right On Healthcare with the Texas Public Policy Foundation who is focused his testimony on the increased price Texans pay for healthcare in Texas. His testimony is there is great variability and no consistency in pricing. #txlege

Texans can't access healthcare if they can't afford to pay their #OOPcosts,copays or deductibles,which leads to patients missing doctor's appointments,rationing meds, ¬ getting prescriptions filled.#TXLege #bleedingdisorders @TomOliverson @DadePhelan @SamHarless126 @RepWalle

Had a great lunch and learn at the Capitol today, meeting with staff from so many legislative offices. We shared what life is like with a bleeding disorder and discussed the harmful effects of #copayaccumulators and #nonmedicalswitching on patients with rare diseases.
