Healthcare reform must work for indi. with Diabetes

Healthcare Reform Must Work for People Living with Diabetes >>

Lack of insurance and high health care costs are forcing many people with diabetes to cut back on – or even go without – doctor visits, medications and diabetes supplies.

Take action >>

Our current health care system fails to ensure access to adequate and affordable health coverage, especially for those living with a chronic health condition like diabetes. Without adequate care, too many suffer needlessly from preventable and costly complications like amputation, blindness, heart and kidney disease.

Sign the petition >>

The current health care system needs to be changed. Health care reform needs to ensure:
People are not denied coverage because they have diabetes or required to pay higher premiums because of they have a chronic disease
Health insurance covers basic diabetes needs
Access to the tools to prevent diabetes
An end to the racial and ethnic disparities in how diabetes affects Americans
This is the only way to change the future of diabetes in our country. Tell your members of Congress to adopt a health care system that works for people with chronic disease! >>

There are nearly 24 million children and adults in our country who are living with diabetes and another 57 million have pre-diabetes. Thank you for taking action today!
