The Hemophilia Federation of America believes that all Americans including individuals with bleeding disorders should have access to a health care system that provides high-quality, affordable, comprehensive and preventative health care services in the setting of their choice.  HFA supports several components of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (read the law here), some of the key provisions we follow in the new federal law include:

• Essential Benefits
• PCIP Program
• Health Insurance Exchanges
• Medicaid and Medicare Reforms
• Follow–on Biologics (biosimilars)
