Federal Issues
In Washington, DC, we are working toward positive legislative change. Read about our federal priority MS issues.
Read the National Health Care Reform Principles. These principles help guide our role in the national health care reform debate and determine the Society's policy priorities.
State Issues
Here in Virginia, we are lobbying our state legislators for policies that improve the lives of people with MS.
Local Issues
The VA CAN also works to address local issues such as building accessibility, fair hiring practices, accessible transportation and other rights for people with disabilities.
