The Michigan legislature is in the midst of working on the state budget for fiscal year 2010-2011 and the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan (HFM) is closely monitoring moves which impact people with bleeding disorrders. Once again, the bleeding disorders community is at risk of cuts to Children's Special Health Care Services for adults. HFM is asking its members to contact their state legislators to encourage their support of the preservation of Children's Special Health Care Services for adults with bleeding disorders.
