Personal stories – as individuals struggling under our current health care systems, health care providers, community leaders, or faith leaders – are one of the most powerful ways to demonstrate the need for comprehensive health care reform. Please share your story as part of the “Voices for Health Care Reform” campaign, and we will share it with Missouri media and elected officials.
