Episode 61: Voting IS MS Advocacy with MS Activist Karen Jackson

We're 2 weeks away from an event that's going to have an impact on every person in the United States who's living with MS...or any other chronic illness. Because in 2 weeks time - on November 6th - an election's taking place, and healthcare is on the ballot. Maybe not directly...maybe not explicitly...but make no mistake, the choices that voters in America make on election day are going to have a huge affect on our access to healthcare, the cost of healthcare, and the protection that exists today for people living with pre-existing conditions. That's why I'm launching the MS Congressional Report Card. It's an easy way for you to see whether your elected representatives in Congress have supported you and others affected by MS. Every member of Congress has received a letter grade based upon what they did -- or didn't do -- to support people affected by MS. You'll be able to see exactly how well your Representatives and Senators have supported the issues that directly affect you. And then, with that knowledge in hand, you'll be ready to cast your vote on November 6th. We're also talking with my special guest, MS Activist Karen Jackson, about access issues when it comes to casting your vote. We'll tell you about a documentary film that features a new way of interpreting the many sides of living with MS, a possible predictor of brain atrophy in Progressive MS, a new framework for examining how exercise impacts neuroplasticity, and more! We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS?! ___________
