California resident Shellye Horowitz was diagnosed with hemophilia, a rare, potentially life-threatening genetic disorder that prevents blood from clotting.
Fortunately, she has been able to find a medical center that specializes in this malady. Unfortunately, that center is in Portland, Oregon, and her home state doesn’t want her speaking with doctors by phone across state lines, forcing Ms. Horowitz to undertake a day’s travel every time she wants to speak with her doctors.
