Please consider the following request from the Senior Vice President of Advocacy for FARE
FARE works on behalf of the more than 33 million Americans with life-threatening food allergies.
We are at a critical moment in our effort to cap the cost of epinephrine auto-injectors in New York.
The State Assembly has included our legislation in their budget proposal – and improved it – by eliminating the cost for all epinephrine auto-injectors in New York.
It’s hard to imagine – not having to pay for our life-saving medicine.
But if we are going to make this a reality, then we need the State Senate’s support.
And that’s where you come in.
Please click on the link below to send your State Senator a short email asking them to include the Assembly language eliminating co-pays for epinephrine auto-injectors in the final state budget.
Make Epinephrine Auto Injectors Free in NY
Then, if you have five extra minutes, please do one more thing.
Please call your State Senator’s Albany office, click here to find out who represents you, and then click on the blue box that reads “MESSAGE SENATOR,” and their Albany office phone number will be provided.
When you call, please share with the staff member who answers the phone:
1. There are more than 2 million New Yorkers with life-threatening food allergies including either you or someone in your family.
2. Epinephrine auto-injectors are expensive and depending on the pharmacy can cost more than $700 often making it too expensive for New Yorkers who cannot simply afford the only medicine that can save their lives.
3. Please include the Assembly language to eliminate co-pays for epinephrine auto-injectors in the final state budget.
By sending an email and calling your State Senator, we can make epinephrine auto-injectors more affordable for all New Yorkers.
Please act today by clicking here. Thank you.
