Coalitions Colleagues:
We are speaking with a New York Times Business section reporter who is doing a story on tax policies and breastfeeding, especially the tax-related provisions of the Breastfeeding Promotion Act:
He is interested in talking to a mom who has struggled with this firsthand: someone who has submitted a breast pump or related equipment for reimbursement on her Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), but had the expense rejected.
D o you know a mom who has experienced this, and would be a willing and capable interviewee? Have you experienced it yourself?
If yes, please reply by email with the name, phone, and email of the person, and a sentence or two about what she experienced. (Do make sure the mom has agreed to your suggesting her for this before you send me her name…I will need to forward this information to the reporter ASAP!)
Thanks so much!
