In January 2024, Cancer Legal Care partnered with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACSCAN) and our clients to learn about effective storytelling when meeting with elected officials. Because of cancer's financial toxicity often driven by medical billing errors and wrongful insurance coverage denials, Cancer Legal Care clients have a wealth of lived experience to share with law makers regarding the medical debt reforms that will be part of the upcoming Minnesota Legislative Session.
While the need for this training focused on medical debt, the lessons and learnings shared are helpful for anyone who is looking to share their experience with a law maker.
