COMPASSIONATE CARE brings a chance at life
 

I recently saw a post on FB about a woman with ovarian cancer seeking compassionate care of BioMarin. She'd been denied. She was told if they made an exception for her, blah, blah...

A flood of calls went into Rep Huffman's office in Texas.

Supporters started an aggressive lobbying campaign and a dear friend posted a petition on CHANGE.ORG

I signed that petition last month. I, and apparently, many others, found her story compelling.
