Call to Action
Help us help those with Cystic Fibrosis. Here are just a few ways that you can step up in the fight to find a cure.
HELP Copays Act
Support the HELP Copays Act! In December 2025, the Help Ensure Lower Patient (HELP) Copays Act was reintroduced in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The HELP Copays Act is a bipartisan bill that would ensure that all copay assistance goes toward meaningfully lowering out-of-pocket costs for patients who rely on brand-name medications without generic alternatives.
Contact your Senators to encourage their support of the HELP Copays Act!
Addressing Expired Insurance Subsidies
Enhanced premium tax credits for Marketplace insurance plans expired as of January 1, 2026. As a result, premiums for Marketplace insurance plans have increased by an average of 114%. If you would like to advocate to your state lawmakers to extend these subsidies, BEF has a Call to Action template below.
PASTEUR Act
People with CF often need to be treated with antibiotics regularly from a young age to fight off infections in the thick, sticky mucus in their lungs, so they are at an elevated risk of their infections becoming more and more resistant to drugs over time. The PASTEUR Act is a proposed bill that supports investment in new treatments for antimicrobial resistant infections.
Contact your legislators to encourage their support of the PASTEUR Act!
