Hi all you Michigan people, I went to the hearing today, some CF'ers finally got to speak at approx 11:20 am. The hearing is over at noon. Sometimes they don't get to you so we were really glad they made time for CF. Anyway I beleive it was a very positive hearing. They asked questions. The 3 cf'ers that spoke all told their stories and really got their point across of how much meds are, copays, food. How often people are in the hosp. I also talked to a lady who was a medical policy analist for the Democratic office. She was very understanding as well. She took my email address if she has any future questions. One of the representives Mr. Williams was extremely compassionate to one of the CF'ers that spoke of her story. They were having more meetings with the Community health dept today but thye wer closed to the public. They also said they were going to try to make time for one more hearing at a later date. It would be on there website. After this if it passes it goes to the Senate and we have to start the letter campaign and phone calls all over again. So lets keep our fingers crossed that it goes no further than the legislature. But I felt alot better when I left this meeting than after leaving last Monday and noone got to talk. It was very reassuring. But you never know. Becky 35w/CF in Mich
