LET’S CHANGE THIS!

“I have put my life on hold. I’ve depleted my entire savings account, pretty much,” Heather Bixler, the mother of a chronically ill child said. Her son, Sean, has seizures due to an accident. Heather estimates that between 30% to 50% of the family income goes toward care for Sean. A survey confirmed that people who have a serious medical condition or who’ve been in the hospital in the past year tended to have more concerns about costs and quality than people who aren’t sick. And notably, 3 of 4 people who were sick said cost is a very serious problem, and half said quality is a very serious problem.
