Thank you @RepMcGovern for advocating on the House floor today for the 2.7 million Americans with gastrointestinal or inherited metabolic disorders who rely on #medicalnutrition. It's #TimeforMNEA

Significant gaps & inconsistencies in state coverage of #medicalnutrition exist; the ongoing formula shortage shows medical nutrition’s essential nature. These & more reasons in our statement qualify medical nutrition as an essential health benefit: bit.ly/mednutritionehb

Last mth, 33 organizations endorsed a request to @CMSGov to include Medical Nutrition as an Essential Health Benefit (EHB) the ACA. #MedicalNutrition is the primary & sometimes only treatment for certain inherited metabolic & GI conditions. 1/2 bit.ly/mednutritionehb

Thank you @SenJohnBarrasso for your co-sponsorship of the #MedicalNutritionEquityAct (S2013) in the 117th. With your help, we'll achieve #MedicalNutritionEquityNow.

The #formulashortage showed #medicalnutrition is necessary for thousands to survive & thrive. Our crisis of access won’t end when supply resumes. Save the date 9/28 for #WHConfHungerHealth & bring #MNEA S2013/HR3783 to the table. #MedicalNutritionEquityNow NutritionEquity.org
