I think we, at this site, could be a big political force to make sure states and countries do newborn CF screening.
I know so many of us are heartsick when we read in the Newly Diagnosed section how hard it is to get some doctors to authorize/prescribe the Ambry Panel.
If you live in NJ, like me, CF screening for newborns is the law...but other states and countries? Let us know!
