The event will highlight the lack of effective coverage for millions of Americans and seeks to educate political candidates about the need for solutions. It also will feature patients' personal stories on this topic.
A "town hall" meeting will follow the news conference and highlight how people and families can become more involved in this effort. Presidential candidates and their staff will be invited to participate in the event.
