Episode 167: A Veteran's MS Journey with Karla Clay, Capt USAF

November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States, giving us an opportunity to honor the men and women who have served in America's armed forces. More than 70,000 U.S. veterans are living with MS, and joining me on the podcast is Karla Clay, an Air Force veteran, and a National Veterans Wheelchair Games multiple medal winner. We're talking about the life-changing turn that Karla's MS journey ended up taking.

As of today, the fate of the Affordable Care Act and the legal protections for people with pre-existing conditions are in the hands of the Supreme Court. So we're also talking about The 100 Days Agenda: A Patient-First Blueprint. This document is the result of a collaboration between the National MS Society and 33 other patient organizations and it provides specific steps that the President and other elected officials can take to protect access to adequate, affordable insurance coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. We'll tell you about a study that identifies a potential new risk associated with disease-modifying therapies for people living with MS who are over the age of 45. And the month of November is loaded with outstanding webinars and conferences featuring some of the leading MS experts in the world. The good news is that you can virtually attend all of these online events at no charge, from the comfort of your own home. We're sharing all the details and we'll tell you where to register for each one! We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
