My five year dispute with my insurance company—the one where they refused to cover a life-saving stem cell transplant for my aggressive multiple sclerosis after all other treatments had failed—is finally resolved, and in the most dramatic fashion. My story is in the Sunday August 3 print edition (published online early) of the New York Times, putting this ground-breaking treatment, questionable health insurance tactics, and ActiveMSers on the world stage.
I won’t spoil the surprise for you, but I’m keeping all of my promises. To pay my parents back. To call attention to a revolutionary approach to our disease. And to change healthcare in my home state.
All I ask today is for help in spreading this message. In the upper left corner you can spread the article via e-mail. Spread it on Facebook. Spread it on Twitter. Spread it on your morning bagel. (Uh, wait, don’t do that.)
Think you can’t change the world? Think again. I didn’t give up because of your belief in me. Thanks once more for all of your immense help—I couldn’t have done it without you. I look forward to dedicating more time to ActiveMSers.org and to the MS cause in general.
