INTERVIEW REQUEST: Have you ever had an insurance provider decide to stop paying for your medication? Have they switched you to a new one for reasons unrelated to your health? I want to hear from you!

I am looking to do a 5-10-minute Zoom interview with someone who has experienced this. There is a new bill in the Ohio Statehouse that would prevent insurance companies from being able to do this while you are in your insurance plan that year.

This would be a Zoom interview before 2:30pm.

I'm interested to learn how you feel when your insurance company stops paying for your medication. What is it like getting off one medicine and getting on another?
