Does your family have a health care story? Personal experiences are powerful and can make a HUGE difference in helping elected leaders and others understand how health care policies impact families. Have you or a family member:

• Had COVID-19 (coronavirus) and had to receive treatment?

• Had a ‘pre-existing condition’ like asthma, diabetes, or high blood pressure (or even a c-section)?

• Gotten health insurance coverage through your state’s Marketplace or Medicaid program?

• Had an illness or disability that requires expensive prescription drugs or frequent medical visits, treatments, or surgeries?

• Experienced discriminatory behavior from a medical professional?

• Received a surprise medical bill after receiving medical treatment?
