We Can Do Something About Pain Care Today

April 20th, 2009

Once again, there is an opportunity to take a little bitty action that makes a big difference.  There has been a National Pain Care Policy Act before Congress since 2003.  This may be the year at last, as it passed the House in March and is now in the Senate.  Pain is the most common reason that Americans access the health care system, yet there has been no consistent national standard for dealing with pain care.  This has great implications for all of us with chronic pain conditions, Migraine included.  The Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy has taken on passage of the National Pain Care Policy act as one of its goals – it will make a significant difference in the treatment we receive.

So, the time has come to email your senators and ask them to co-sponsor the National Pain Care Act.  It’s ridiculously easy.  The good folks at the AHDA have once again set it up so all you have to do is click, type in your name and address, add a few words of your own if you wish, and you’re done.

Please go over to the AHDA site and email your Senators today.  Less than five minutes, I promise, and you’ll be feeling no pain (at least, not from this).
