I am in support of freedom of choice and am not in favor of ENFIT. Please heed the wishes of those who actually use feeding tubes. Thank You

The lost of choices will limit the patients option in how they may feed themselves. I have found in my practice that the patient and or the care giver are very will educated the use of devices required tor the care of themselves or their charges.

I believe people should have free choice to use their own food. Make the tubing available.

Please give us a choice of feeding tube. Every person is different. Don't make it harder for us to feed our children.

Give the users a choice of what they want . Designating one brand or product is better than a license to steal. You cannot have a monopoly on this. Even though I am sure Medicare and Medicaid would love it.

"ENFit is UNFit" for most feeding tube users, but because of corporate and personal greed, ENFit is being forced into the lives of hundreds of thousands of feeding tube users. Many will die because of infections and lack of proper nutrition, which will be caused by the horribly designed ENFit devices. Please help us TUBIES continue to use our well designed and very safe current feeding tube devices by signing this petition and also by forwarding it to everyone on your mailing list. You can even ask your church to email this petition to all church members so they will be aware of the unconstitutional actions of GEDSA in their attempt to ban our current feeding tube devices. BIG PHARMA has lots of money and power and they will do everything they can do to ban our current safe devices so their new unsafe devices will finally sell. Please remember that you do not have to be a feeding tube user or family member to sign this petition. All you need to have is a belief that we tubies should be able to maintain our Constitutional Rights to choose our feeding tube devices that best meet our individual needs. By signing this petition you will be instrumental in saving the lives of untold numbers of innocent babies. Sanford Flach 12 year tongue & throat cancer survivor 4 year G-tube user

David is my cousin, and he has noticed problems and has become an adovocate for him self and others who cannot speak for themselves. They can't use a one tube fits all approach. Help them out by signing this petition and pray for them.

I support free market choice and do not want to see this single brand receive sole endorsement by Medicaid, Medicare or any other healthcare entity.

I support this effort, I have two friends this new law/regulation would affect, they should be enabled to choose alternate tube connectors.

Please allow those who must tube feed, the choice of connection options. Allow them a choice of what and how they can feed.

Having a choice makes a difference in our lives. It allows us to live a better life which is particularly true in this situation. It is not just a matter of cost it is also living a life as normal as possible.
