Part One of our Valentine's Series: Operation Interrogate Claire. (See how much she can procrastine this conversation!)

Claire shares a bill that just passed through the senate in Massachusetts: An Act relative to pharmaceutical access, costs and transparency (S.2651) that will create more transparency and management of drug prices. Check out Massachusetts T1 International if you want to get involved. Alaina is hoping to get involved in a bill in Colorado that will mandate inclusion of fertility treatments in insurance policies. Both talk about how to get involved in advocacy efforts.

Claire gives an update on her NLD and experience with steroid injections. She shares the results of an Instagram poll about what G&C means to you and two stories from you about some truly apalling acts against people with chronic illness and disability. They remind us to not get too comfortable -- we still have more to do!

Finally Claire gets into her conversation around dating. She talks about the temptation to change yourself to fit someone else's ideal and about when to compormise and when to know your worth. Alaina talks about clarifying what you're attracted to and what you want to demonstrate yourself. Claire talks about her ideal partner and waiting for her soul mate. Alaina encourages everyone to date yourself and to stop shaming single people.
