Tell Congress: Don't Take Away My Compounded Medications!

 

 

We told you last week ago about Senators Kennedy (D-MA) Burr (R-NC) and

Roberts (R-KS), among others considering legislation that would severely

restrict

and possibly deny your access to critical medications. Your response has been

great! Within 24 hours, thousands of letters were sent to the Senate in

opposition of the so-called Safe Drug Compounding Act of 2007.

 

 

But we’re not stopping there. We are working with numerous groups (from

medical societies, to women groups, to disease/condition associations) to

present

a united front on this bill. We have organized a strategy meeting with

several of the organization for April 12 to roll up our sleeves and dive in!

Following this meeting, we’ll have an action plan and a timetable.

 

 

We have already received word that this issue could be brought up at an

upcoming Congressional Hearing before the Senate Committee on Aging scheduled

for

next week. We are working with a speaker who has been asked to testify – this

is a great opportunity to get the real issue (consumer access) into

Congressional record!

 

For now, here are some of the ways that you can help

 

 

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

 

If you haven’t yet taken action, please click here to send your alert to your

senators. http://ga4.org/campaign/compounding

 

 

If you live in Massachusetts, North Carolina, or Kansas (or know people that

are residents of these states) – it is particularly important that you contact

your senator who is supporting the bill and let them know that you DO NOT

support this legislation.

 

Please call immediately:

Sen. Kennedy - 202.224.4543

Sen. Burr - 202.224.3154

Sen. Roberts - 202.224.4774

 

 

Your voice does make a difference. But don't stop there.

In addition to our flyer, are developing other materials and have speakers.

Please let us know what you need to help spread the word!

 

 

SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS

Your financial assistance will help us accomplish all these things that we

need do. Creating and distributing flyers, contacting Congress, advertising,

setting up meetings, are all important items but we need additional funds to

successfully tackle this problem.

AAHF/HFF rarely asks you to take action on a bill BEFORE it is even

introduced, but occasionally we come across a piece of legislation that we

consider so

horrendous that we must act before it is even introduced. Unfortunately,

Senators Kennedy (D/MA) Burr (R/NC) and Roberts (R/KS), among others are

considering legislation that would severely restrict and possibly deny your

access to

critical medications. Act today to protect patient access to compounded

medicines - tell Congress you will not support the Safe Compounding Drug Act of

2007.

 

Just as everybody has a unique fingerprint, so is our response to various

pharmaceuticals and other healing modalities. No reasonable person can expect a

mass produced pharmaceutical to address all the subtle nuances of varying

human physiology – but that is not stopping Big Pharma, the FDA, and Congress

from

trying to take away your right to individualized medicine.

 

If this legislation passes, federal regulators, not your doctor, will decide

what medicines you can take. Do you really want to leave your customized

medicine needs in the hands of bureaucrats in the government? We cannot stand

idly

by while our pharmacists and doctors are forced to become mere dispensers of

a few heavily-advertised, one-size-fits-all pharmaceutical products.
