After being diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension in 2021, Miranda Riddle turned to the ACA Marketplace for insurance coverage.

The loss of enhanced premium tax credits would be detrimental to Miranda’s quality of life as she navigates managing a rare disease.

“My life-saving medication would be completely unaffordable, and I would not be able to properly manage my condition. I cannot imagine a future for myself, of suffering like I was prior to proper medication and treatment,” Miranda said.

As a PHA advocate, Miranda shares her story to educate others and push for change. Learn more about PHA advocacy opportunities: https://ow.ly/xXFZ50Y1OQv
