Episode 352: World MS Day with Rachel Horne

May 30th is World MS Day, and we're taking this opportunity to look at some of the challenges faced by people with MS around the world. Global economics and the peculiarities of different healthcare systems make fundamental issues like access to quality healthcare and affordable MS medications difficult for many and impossible for some. U.K. journalist and MS activist Rachel Horne joins me for a freewheeling conversation focused on the broad range of challenges that people with MS face every day.  We're also sharing details about the National MS Society's Black MS Experience Summit, which gets underway June 12th and 13th.
