Thank you Shelley Moore Capito Rep. Carol Miller Rep. Alex Mooney for your leadership on H.R. 2407/S. 2085, a bill that would ensure these tools can be accessed by those most susceptible to cancer. Let’s pass the bill this year! washingtonpost.com/wellness/inter…

Be careful what you wish for. Setting price controls on drugs will stifle new research/drug development at a time when they are making great progress, especially for PD. I want lower cost medicines, but not at the expense of a cure. Shelley Moore Capito Rep. Carol Miller The White House

The combined effect of Congress allowing the health care tax credit to expire and the ACA changes in H.R. 1 will have a devastating impact on WV families who rely on the individual market. Many will lose coverage while costs skyrocket for others. Shelley Moore Capito Jim Justice

Congratulations to Shelley Moore Capito for being awarded the Parkinson’s community’s Congressional Award. Her help passing The National Plan Act was instrumental in its passage. She is also leading the U.S. Senate in passing increased funding for Parkinson’s research.

Thank you, Ray Dorsey, MD for stopping by Charleston, WV during your national book tour. “The Parkinson’s Plan” is the definitive book on how to prevent the disease and/or how to slow its progression once you have it.

West Virginians living with Parkinson’s rely on affordable health coverage. Without reauthorization of the healthcare tax credit, too many could lose access to life-saving care. Congress must act now! Shelley Moore Capito Senator Jim Justice Rep. Riley M. Moore Rep. Carol Miller

Thanks 2 WV Insurance Commission for holding PBMs accountable for over 2,000 violations of WV law and fined them over $3.5 million for violations. Patients are the losers in this scheme. More needs to be done especially on the fed level. #Accountability Shelley Moore Capito Senator Jim Justice

Thank you Senator Jim Justice for championing PBM reform! Please continue to stand with patients and protect America’s innovation economy. Strong patent protections fuel research, jobs, and cures like Parkinson’s. Keep America leading in lifesaving breakthroughs. #ProtectInnovation
