\"HDR_PolicyAlert_2\"<\/p>\n

This week, the Illinois House passed<\/a> HB 4576. <\/strong>The House Bill seeks to establish a Rare Disease Commission that would give patients – many of whom are too young or sick to speak for themselves – a voice in the state government. \u00a0The bill would also provide educational resources for elected leaders on critical issues related to access, coverage, and the diseases themselves.<\/p>\n

NEXT STEP: <\/strong>the bill needs to pass in the state Senate. If you are interested in supporting it, contact tim.boyd@rareaction.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thank you! \u00a0This progress for the 1 in 10 Americans with rare diseases would not be possible without the support and collaboration between NORD and our Members based in Illinois:<\/p>\n
