My Life is Worth It
Petition directed toward to medical and congressional leaders:
1. WE, THE PATIENTS, EXPECT A SEAT AT THE TABLE
Any discussion of limiting the availability of critically needed therapeutics due to cost or other considerations must include patients.
2. OUR LIVES ARE NOT MEASURED BY HOW MUCH WE COST to insurers or healthcare systems
Sometimes we may have months to live, but each moment with our families and loved ones counts.
3. WE NEED DOCTORS AS OUR PRINCIPAL ALLIES
Not as financial gatekeepers.
4. WE NEED FASTER ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE THERAPIES THAT ARE OUR LIFELINE
Cutting the regulatory time for potentially life-saving new therapeutics saves time, saves money and could save lives. We cannot wait.
