Farrah D. Rhea, Pinedale

Farrah’s oldest son has a form of Muscular Dystrophy called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (commonly referred to as SMA) which causes significant muscle weakness and worsens over time. He is 4 years old and has already reached $504,000 in benefits paid from an insurance plan that has a lifetime limit of $2 million. The Affordable Care Act will eliminate the $2 million cap, allowing him to receive all the care and coverage he will need.
