MAGNUM Signs

Consensus Statement Supporting

the 2009 National Pain Care Policy Act

WASHINGTON, DC-(Wednesday-January 28th, 2008)-We hoped readers had the opportunity to watch Dr. Donna Shalala today broadcasting from University of Miami which we suggested you catch to learn about health plans of the new Administration.

Speaking of what is new with the government and healthcare?  Great news for those who have supported the 2008 National Pain Care Policy Act and the Military and Veterans Pain Policy Acts!

Many of the readers of MigraineBlog.commight recall last year many non-government organizations (NGOs) such as MAGNUM and the American Pain Foundation were successful in harnessing our collective voices as the Military and Veteran's Pain Care Acts were signed into law.

Thanks to the leadership of American Pain Foundation we made tremendous strides with the National Pain Care Policy Act in 2008.  But MAGNUM's and other organizations need to continue to support this act to accomplish passage of this bill in 2009.
