Patients should have access to new, life-saving and life-enhancing treatments for asthma and allergies. We are proud to announce: AAFA’s CEO, Dr. Cary Sennett, will be advocating on your behalf to state insurance commissioners. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners is the professional association for the regulators within each U.S. state and territory who establish and monitor the standards for healthcare insurance programs. They chose Dr. Sennett to represent the interests of more than 60 million Americans who live with asthma and/or allergic diseases. He is the only member of the Consumer Liaison Representative program counseling the NAIC on behalf of those of us who live with asthma and or allergic disease.

Maryrita - there isn't anything in Canada officially associated with AAFA. There are a few national Canadian organizations that do focus on asthma and allergies.

I was wondering if there was a Canadian counter part to the AAFA?
