Think for a moment how a car simply can’t run without both gasoline and oil. You can’t really argue which one is more important because that doesn’t matter: without either, the car won’t go.

“Asthma In America 2018” asked questions about diagnosis, medications, treatments and more to over 800 respondents. Surprisingly, the survey revealed four things people with asthma fear most about their future, all of which have a profound impact on the way they view their condition and rate their quality of life.
IBD In America 2018, a recent survey conducted by Health Union, revealed that 41% of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) say their household finances are significantly impacted by the out-of-pocket costs associated with their condition.
