.@loiskolkhorst, please support HB 999 to make #AllCopaysCountTX! Patients who use copay assistance to afford their life-saving medications deserve to have that assistance count toward their deductible. #TXlege

Insurers use harmful policies to devalue copay assistance for TX patients who need this assistance to access life-saving Rx medications. @loiskolkhorst, please make #AllCopaysCountTX for patients and support HB 999! #TXlege

.@loiskolkhorst, please step up for the Texas chronic disease community – set HB 999 on the HHS committee calendar! This legislation puts an end to harmful insurer policies and ensures patient assistance counts toward out-of-pocket cost limits #AllCopaysCountTX #TXlege

A growing and deceptive insurer policy prevents copay assistance from counting toward patient deductibles. @loiskolkhorst, please stand with patients and put HB 999 on your committee calendar! #AllCopaysCountTX #TXlege

We urge @loiskolkhorst to support TX patients by setting HB 999 on the Senate HHS Committee calendar. Please support this critical legislation to curb harmful insurer practices! #AllCopaysCountTX #TXlege

Texans living with rare diseases need your help! Urge @loiskolkhorst and the Health Committee to add the rare disease advisory council legislation to their next meeting agenda and make TX the 27th state to create an RDAC!

Let's make sure that Texans living with rare diseases have a voice! Urge @loiskolkhorst & the Health Committee to add SB 1408, the RDAC bill, to their next meeting agenda. #PatientAdvocacy #TexasHealthcare #RareDisease

26 other states have an RDAC & Texans living with rare diseases deserve one too! We call on @loiskolkhorst & members of the Health Committee to add SB 1408, the RDAC legislation, to their next meeting agenda.

The rare disease community in TX deserves a stronger voice in government! Urge @loiskolkhorst and the Health Committee to prioritize SB 1408, the rare disease advisory council legislation, at their next meeting.

Texas patients are at risk from an unfair insurer policy that stops copay assistance from counting toward their deductibles. #TXLege, please vote with @FourPriceTX and support HB 999 to help patients manage their conditions! #AllCopaysCountTX bit.ly/TAIreport
