Last month, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and I partnered to create the Cystic Fibrosis Caucus in the U.S. Senate. We are working toward a day when CF stands for “Cured Forever.”

A day spent visiting a care center proved the perfect introduction to the CF story for legislative staffers.

Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services finalized a rule expanding short-term, limited-duration insurance plans -- threatening access to adequate, affordable coverage for people with cystic fibrosis who rely on the individual marketplace.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation responds to the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review's assessment of the comparative clinical effectiveness and value of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators.

More than 200 CF advocates from 47 states held nearly 400 meetings with members of Congress and their staff, and more than 850 advocates from across the country called their members of Congress as part of the CF Foundation's first March on the Hill online Day of Action.

Twelve patient/consumer groups urge senate to reject the bill.

Responding to the Trump administration's recent decision to freeze risk adjustment payments, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation joined 13 other nonpartisan patient groups to voice disappointment in the latest administrative efforts to undermine adequate and affordable health care for people with pre-existing conditions. 

Legislation would leave millions with inadequate, unaffordable care as they battle chronic and other major health conditions.  

Patient and provider groups urge the Senate to work together in a bipartisan fashion to ensure that Americans have access to affordable health care. 

More than 160 organizations join the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in asking Congress to expand paid family and medical leave for people with chronic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis.
