MomsRising collects stories from our members all across the U.S. about how health care policies are impacting families. Here is a powerful story about the need to make sure everyone has access to quality, affordable health care from a MomsRising volunteer, Jenn, in NC:

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?
