Liver Disease Does Not Discriminate
There is 80 to 100 million people in the USA that have Fatty Liver Disease and most do not even know they have it. Liver Disease does not discriminate. It affects any age, social economics and race. Liver cancer incidence rates have more than tripled since 1980, while the death rates have more than doubled during this time.
COVID-19 Response
Ensure funding for COVID-19 and liver disease public health programs, research, vaccine dissemination; ensure that people living with liver disease are not disproportionately impacted and do not experience unnecessary or discriminatory health care or treatment disruptions.
Health Disparities
Address inequities in the care of people impacted by liver disease, especially the excess incidence rate of liver cancer in black men in America.
Liver Health Policy
Advance the U.S. NASH Action Plan, and ensure patients with liver disease perspectives are represented in relevant legislative packages: COVID-19, diabetes, and obesity.
Liver Health Regulations
Work with regulators to establish logical pathways to consistently approve therapies for liver diseases, particularly rare liver diseases.
Research Funding
Advocate for funding that ensures meaningful growth of vital liver disease research and the improving of liver health.
Transplant
Urgently respond to the inequities that impact organ transplantation; modernize the U.S. Organ Donation system, improve care for transplant patients, and increase the number of available organs.
Viral Hepatitis
Increase support for hepatitis programs and raise awareness of viral hepatitis; advocate for the elimination of viral hepatitis .
Value
Advance health care policies that reflect each person’s unique needs and drive access to personalized, patient-centric care.
Patient Access and Reimbursement
Support policy solutions that curb patients’ health care expenses; advocate for the smoothing and capping of out-of-pocket costs in Medicare Part D.
