For many years, Families USA has maintained a database that documents hundreds of health care hardship stories. Stories about the experiences of people help make difficult and often complex policy issues understandable to a broader group. The stories we have collected are available to policymakers and reporters to better illustrate the everyday struggles that Americans face concerning their health care. Families USA obtains permission from each consumer before his/her story is released. To tell us your story - English  l  En español

Reporters and policymakers in need of health care consumer stories should contact our Communications Department at 202-628-3030.
