This is nothing more than a ploy to create more government jobs. Should Not be passed

In response to DianaAmerican…..I am assumming that you have never watched someone you love live in pain, everyday of their life……never go to a restaurant, never go to a movie, never be able to celebrate a holiday with their family because the pain is so unbearable that they can’t sit at a table. What do you know of Cancer, Lyme disease, Fibromyalsia, degenerative disc disease, severe spinal stenosis. Do you even have a heart? I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR YOU. You were apparently put on earth without a heart or a soul. For your information, there have been no government jobs created to treat people with chronic pain. How would you like to spend $600.00 a month, out of pocket, so that you can lie in bed all day, without taking your own life due to pain. I put in my time working. For 15 years I drove 50 miles round trip to take care of the psychological needs of children in the inner city….Until I had to retire due to unbearable pain. HOW DO YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR?

when this bill is signed into law, people with chronic pain such as myself will no longer have to fear going to the hospital or a doctor other then their pain management doctor,we will finally be treated with dignity and compassion, we will no longer have to scream in pain after a major surgery because doctors do not know how to treat chronic pain patients, education will be mandatory for all medical personal, pain is a real measureable and treatable illness that effects millions of american people each and every day. this bill is a long time coming and i for one cannot wait any longer to be treated like a human being with a chronic condition, it is a lack of professional medical training in pain management and the social stigma about pain that prevents effective treatment. this should pass as quick as possible…
