Episode 78: The Importance of MS Advocacy with Bari Talente


Listen Later

Over the past year, we've seen our access to affordable, quality healthcare come under unprecedented attack. We've seen a federal judge declare the Affordable Care Act to be unconstitutional. And we continue to see our access to affordable prescription medications -- the medications that have been shown to delay the progression of MS and extend the quality of life for everyone living with MS -- that access remains threatened by the constant skyrocketing cost of those medications. That's why advocating on behalf of our own interests is so important to the MS community.     My guest this week is Bari Talente, the Executive Vice-President of Advocacy for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. We're talking about the National MS Society's upcoming Public Policy Conference, the legislative issues that affect people living with MS in the United States, and the importance of MS advocacy.   We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS?!
