Statehouse Day

Join us on Wednesday, April 18th for Statehouse Day 2012, where you will get to meet your local elected officials and voice your concern about the bleeding disorder community's access to affordable health insurance both now and in the future. With the legislature currently considering whether or how to set up a health insurance exchange, it's important that they hear how those with bleeding disorders might be affected by the program.

What We're Talking About

When you're meeting with legislators, you'll probably talk to them about what a bleeding disorder is, what a hemophilia treatment center does for you or your family, and how various health care reform initiatives affect you (especially the creation of a health insurance exchange in Ohio). The following documents will help you prepare for your meetings:

• Talking Points for 2012 Statehouse Day
