What the petition asks
As a partner of someone who has cystic fibrosis I feel I must fight for a better quality of life for all. Orkambi treatment not only meets those requirements but will also extend life quality. Drug addicts cost the UK £15.4 billion per year. Is this fair in comparison to innocent people born with CF
