Statement on Health Care Reform

 

The Hemophilia Federation of America (HFA) strongly supports healthcare reform to ensure individuals affected by bleeding disorders have access to a healthcare system that provides high-quality, affordable, comprehensive and preventative health care services to all.   The current system is both costly and inefficient, and does not provide care to all, particularly those with the greatest need.  We believe Americans deserve a better health care system and that includes Americans with bleeding disorders! 

 HFA seeks to ensure the needs of the bleeding disorders community, in partnership with the broader rare disease community, is considered in any health reform discussion.  The voices of the rare disease community must be heard and recognized during the health care reform debate! 

 HFA has been working with the rare disease community to develop health care reform principles in response to health care reform and are actively reaching out to congress and the administration to ensure our needs have the opportunity to be addressed.
