Sign the petition to help IBDers in USA!!!!

Every year, the Social Security Administration convenes hearings to add new illnesses to this list. The White House must urge the Social Security Administration to convene a hearing to add inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, to its Compassionate Allowance initiative in order to expedite the approval of critical government assistance for patients living with these incurable digestive diseases.

Stand in solidarity with patients with inflammatory bowel disease everywhere and sign this petition calling on the White House to take action here: wh.gov/igOWD

Thanks for posting this, BeatUC.

Have you tried adding it to the forum of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA)? I would not have known about this if I had not seen your post here today.

Not many more sigs needed.

It said there are over 93,000 signs needed still...

I passed it along too and someone else said they didn't get the follow up email. I think the form is buggy. I hope we are not losing signatures because of a faulty form.

signed and shared on Facebook
