Updates
June 12, 2015
I met with staff members at the university today to discuss the impact of the funding cuts on patient care. We are currently drafting a formal memorandum to circulate to the members of the committee reviewing HR 0255. Expect a breakdown of their initial feedback once I receive a written response.

The growth of this petition has reached a level that commands attention from the legislative offices in Springfield. I am currently finalizing a formal briefing packet based on these signatures to deliver directly to the relevant committee chairs.

THIS IS WRONG. patients in pain dont have a choice about when they need help. fix this now.
I believe the funding shouldn't be cut because you can't control when you go into a crisis and Sickle Cell is a very real problem that doesn't get as much funding as it actually needs
Cut the action of budgeting, not the action of helping.
