Summation - Death of People! & Civil Rights?

Send a letter to your Senator: AAMDS.org; Donate to AAMDS.

In addition to revocation of collective bargaining rights, Governor Walker also encapsulated another hidden agenda in his bill, and has plans for a final death hand. The hidden agenda is to reform Medical Assistance; the death hand is two-fold; first, he intends to spin off UW-Madison hospital and clinics who are a national leader in life-saving research and treatment, and second, he intends to reform medical services at the state level.

The bill directs the department of public health services to 'assess' the medical assistance program and propose means by which it can be made more effective. As the spokesperson from the National Bone Marrow Donation Association put it, "That's not a bad thing. Despite how much you may like or dislike Governor Walker, to assess programs for effeciency is a good thing." Yes, it is; however, it goes on to say that the PHS can make law by means of medical emergency legislative paths. As well, what is written there in invisible ink is the call for reform and exclusions. One exclusion that other states have made during their assessments is of waiver programs; these are special programs to provide life-saving services such as bone marrow transplants. Without bone marrow transplants, people with Aplastic Anemia, as well as many other diseases (Leukemia, PNH, MDS, EB, and the list goes on and on and on) will die. That, Governor Walker, is a sentence to death by legislative pen.

Add to that legislative pen the stroke of deaths of millions with the spinning off of UW-Madison to make it act as a business on its own two feet. UW-Madison is a national leader in stem cell research. Those stem cells aren't fetuses, but rather blood stem cells donated from the marrow of people just like you and me, from the cords of babies donated by their parents to save a life, and form donors who are dying. They are on the brink of finding a solution for Alzheimer's. Do these Senators not realize how many millions of dollars could be saved by the Medicare and Medicaid programs by simply not confining an Alzheimer's patient to a nursing home? Multiples of millions in Wisconsin, to the billions of dollars nationwide, would be saved.

It's not only a Wisconsin problem. Senator John McCain is sponsoring a bill that will terminate funding to bone marrow research. That research is housed under the same arena as is the defense funding. Obviously, pro-war Senator McCain is seeking to stop dollars from going to save lives to put dollars towards the effort to take lives. We expect this given his history. McCain: there is no honor in killing Americans through a silent holocost on the medical assistance and research funding to fight for their freedom. We strongly disagree, and encourage everyone to write to Senator McCain to tell him not to kill the funding to bone marrow research.

PLEAS:

Whoever you are, you don't know that you won't one day need a bone marrow transplant. If the research is ended, where will you go? The US is the leader in medical research. Write to your Senator and to Senator John McCain to "Oppose any Amendment to Eliminate CDMRP Funding". You might also want to write to Doris O. Matsui (D-CA) to tell her that you support her and the “Bone Marrow Failure Disease Research and Treatment Act” (H.R. 640). This legislation would bring together the resources of several federal agencies to advance our understanding of, and treatments for aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and ParoPNH. We need your support now! It is simple to send that letter, just go to AA & MDS and fill in your name and submit the letter.

TO THOSE PROTESTING IN WISCONSIN: Please keep the reform appeals in Walker's bill in your minds and hearts as you fight for civil rights; this fight is for life.

Lent: One of my lenten sacrafices is to give two hours of my off time every day to helping further the fight of those who are fighting for their lives recovering from a bone marrow transplant.

U.S. Held In Highest Regard For Cure

If there will be a cure found for Aplastic Anemia, and we believe that there will one day be a cure, that cure will come from the United States. Senator McCain, you have the power to kill thousands.

Dear Senator McCain I am not a U.S resident but have the utmost respect for you country as you have always been great allies to England I am asking you to please not take away the funding into bone marrow disease research I dont have to rem...ind you of these terribble diseases as I know you are aware and I know resources are difficult but you are a leading country and others look upto you so your research in the U.S is paramount to continue if a cure is to be found I beg you not to take this funding away forget about statisitics its real people many many children are dying I have this disease myself and to be honest it grieves me more for the children it affects they are the ones with the disease and the ones which we as adults leave behind when we die from this disease as we will without the funding. I thankyou for taking the time to read my request respectfully yours Julie Anne Theobald.

On February 10, 2011, Representative Doris O. Matsui (D-CA) formally introduced the “Bone Marrow Failure Disease Research and Treatment Act” (H.R. 640). This legislation would bring together the resources of several federal agencies to advance our understanding of, and treatments for aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and ParoPNH. We need your support now!

Suggested letter:
I am writing to ask you to cosponsor the "Bone Marrow Failure Disease Research and Treatment Act" (H.R. 640), introduced by Representative Doris Matsui (D-CA) on February 10, 2011. We need your support. As a constituent coping with bone marrow failure disease, I ask that you support this new comprehensive approach to combating these devastating diseases.

Every year approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), and other acquired bone marrow failure diseases.

The Bone Marrow Failure Disease Research and Treatment Act would leverage the expertise and resources of several agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as well as patient advocacy organizations, in a new comprehensive approach to combat bone marrow failure diseases. H.R. 640 increases the Federal Government's commitment to researching and treating aplastic anemia, MDS, PNH, and other acquired bone marrow failure diseases. The legislation directs the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to combat these diseases through a comprehensive strategy that includes creation of a national bone marrow failure disease registry so that researchers can combine their data in one place, yielding more effective research designs and better results and pilot studies through the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry to determine which environmental factors cause people to acquire bone marrow failure diseases.

Other highlights include minority-focused programs to make information on treatment options and clinical trials available to minority communities, particularly Hispanic and Asian American communities and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality grants to help improve diagnostic practices and quality of care for patients with bone marrow failure diseases.

Last year, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a similar but modified version of the bill.

Congresswoman Matsui will be sending you a Dear Colleague letter in the coming weeks. Please consider becoming a cosponsor of this important legislation and contact Joel Bailey, Senior Legislative Assistant, in the office of Representative Matsui at joel.bailey@mail.house.gov or at (202) 225-7163.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

28 February 2011 is Disease Day

February 28, 2011 is Rare Disease Day.

An estimated 30 million people are affected by one of about 7,000 rare diseases. Take a minute to pray for someone you might know and their daily fight to survive!!

Your fight is my fight! ♥

$597 Per Voter Balances The Budget

Someone suggested that we just split the cost of balancing the budget, and move on with life.

Wisconsin reported a population of 5.6 million in 2009. Approximately 82% of Wisconsin are over the age of 18 years.

With a $2.7 billion deficit, a contribution of $588 would balance the budget.

Reduce the deficit by the $165 million that the reduction in benefits would amount to according to Walker's statements regarding the funding behind those benefits, and that makes the contribution $552 per voter to balance the budget.


Ah, but not everybody is working. While the reports show one thing, an estimated 270,000 people are out of work.

That puts it back to $586 PER VOTER, or $1173 per household, given that most households have two voters (and hopefully two workers).

A State Doesn't Live on Fed Aid Alone

Wisconsin had long been a thriving industrial state and the home to some of the top manufacturing companies in the nation.

Wisconsin's flip from a state that had excess funds from taxation to one which is in deep debt could be seen back in 2002 when manufacturers closed their doors to go out of business or move to another state where labor and taxes were cheaper.

I recall visiting West Bend, Wisconsin in 2000 to find three thriving manufacturers supplying the majority of employment for the local and closely surrounding area. In 2001, one of those, a major manufacturer of pots and pans, had closed its doors. The next year, another closed. And the next year, there was only one farming equipment manufacturer left, and he was running part time.

When the gross domestic product loses ground, people move from middle income earners to low income earners, and while taxes decrease, the burden on the government increases by way of aid to people. Wisconsin eliminated welfare some years ago, and all that is left to help people are a few payments of electricity, food pantries, food stamps and health care. Under special programs, local businesses in Wisconsin have created low-income services, such as dental care, albiet with the assistance of funding. But other funding, such as housing assistance is gone.

Peaceful, But Tense

At 10 East Doty Street, an office building just 'off of the square' and a stone throw from the capitol building, protestors marched on Koch Industries, Inc., who has an office on the 7th floor.

At 3:45 PM, the protestors marched from the capitol square down Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. towards the Doty entrance to 10 East Doty Street with drums beating loudly and chats heard over them, "Ho, ho, the bill must go." The core of the protest only lasted an hour, but protestors remained long after the close of business when I was escorted to my vehicle. Well into the evening hours, they could be seen standing in front of the Doty Street entrance shouting to cars as people were leaving the capital and local offices. Doty Street is one of the streets in the second square around the capitol, and a main drag for people on their ways home.

From early morning hours until at least 6 PM, building security personnel stood in groups at each ingress point and along hallways throughout the building. All of the elevators were locked down requiring people to have a security pass card to access any floor, but even those with a pass couldn't access the upper floors. Guards stood at the stairway doors. When I left at 6 PM, there were people standing near the doors trying to gain access to the building.

According to reports from several tenants of the building, there had been some incidences on the 7th floor where the Koch Industries office is located. Police were called to remove protestors.

Regardless of a person's stand on the issues, the current experience of Madison is one to behold. The protests are 'peaceful' as far as protests go for those we've witnessed on TV in other countries, but that doesn't eliminate the sense of fear, perhaps due to the mere gathering together of hundreds of people chanting, beating drugs and showing emotions in their faces if not with their fists and emphasis added to their messages by throwing their arm in the air. But there also is a sense of excitement. Several people commented on the protests remarking that they were pleased to see people standing up for their rights.

Walker's Bill Proposes Permanent Changes

The items in Walker's bill in assembly at this moment are for permanent changes to Wisconsin laws.

The proposed changes will not end with his term.

Announcement of Recall Effort Ineffective, or Not?

Americans Against Immigrant Amnesty has filed electronic registration under the name American Recall Coalition in an effort to recall the eight Democractic Senators.

State law requires recalls to be filed by qualified electors from the legislator's district. A Utah based organization, person or company CANNOT legally file a petition for recall of a Senator in Wisconsin.

"The Government Accountability Board says that the group will need to find a 'sponsor' in each district, but that the 60-day clock started ticking with this group's filing of the paperwork." according to Fox 11.

The Democract Senators are:

Senators Fred Risser (D-Madison)
Mark Miller (D-Monona)
Jim Holperin (D-Conover)
Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee)
Spencer Coggs (D-Milwaukee)
Robert Wirch (D-Pleasant Prairie)
Julie Lassa (D-Stevens Point) and
Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay).

Walker's contact information is:

Office of Governor Scott Walker
115 East Capitol
Madison WI 53702
Email: govgeneral@wisconsin.gov
Phone: (608) 266-1212

The Boards and Commissions for which the state of Wisconsin is seeking applicants is located at: Wisconsin Boards and Commissions. One of those commissions is the Emergency Medical Services Board, which is key to future changes to the Medical Assistance and Badger Care programs. Under Walker's bill, the Department of Health Services will have full control over the Medical Assistance program, and will be able to freely and carelessly create and pass laws under the Emergency Medical Services Board that effect benefits, including those needed for bone marrow transplants. If you can serve on that board, please apply right away.

Doctors, PA's, Nurses: your help is needed on that board; please consider serving it.

At minimum, everyone, please write Walker and voice your concerns over his Medical Assistance reform; tell him that we don't want Wisconsin playing God; we don't want any person in our state sentenced to death for lack of budgetary funds.

Solidarity

Firefighters joined teachers at the capital to protest Governor Walker's bill that removes some of the Teacher's Unions collective bargaining rights.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin National Guard members are visiting prisons to prepare to take over if prison guards walk off the job to join the protests.

Governor Walker's response in a public address this evening was to warn of layoff's if the Democrat legislators fail to return to work. Ultimately, Walker is placing the blame for some 5-6,000 layoffs anticipated immediately if the bill is not passed on the shoulders of the Democrats who ran away to Illinois.

Included in that bill is a Medical Assistance reform bill, noted below, which may affect those with diseases such as Aplastic Anemia and Leukemia whose lives are dependant upon costly medical procedures, namely bone marrow transplants.

2/3 Vote Signed Into Law For Tax Rate Increases

Current Wisconsin law requires a simple majority to pass tax rate increases.

Governor Walker signed a bill on Tuesday, February 22, 2011, requiring a two-thirds vote to pass tax rate increases.

Walker Addresses Wisconsin

Walker's address to Wisconsin.

Doctor's Note Might Get Jail Time

While teachers and the Teacher's Union are considering their options, the Governor has some answers.

One of the protestors claimed to be a doctor and offered 'sick notes' for teachers to get an excuse for being absent from work last Friday. While many of us dropped our jaws, there may be a judge dropping his gavel for criminal charges against that doctor and possibly against those receiving and using their 'sick notes'.

Dr. Pam Galloway, Wisconsin Senator, is a breast cancer surgeon. She has begun an investigation to determine if the doctors were acting alone, and found that they were in deed soliciting people for their sick notes.

The doctor claims that her investigation will cause the doctors to be investigated for criminal activity.

Walker Blocks Solidarity Website

Walker is accused of blocking a website that was being used to organize protestors.

Walker says, "I didn't block the website."

Let's keep the facts straight, folks!

Amid reports that the site -- defendwisconsin.org - was inaccessible on Monday and Tuesday morning, Wisconsin Democratic Party press secretary Graeme Zielinski pointed the finger at Walker and other Republicans, accusing them of a "direct assault on the First Amendment." A liberal blogger at the website ThinkProgress accused Walker of "taking a page from former Egyptian Dictator Hosni Mubarak and cutting off internet access to key protest organizers within the state Capitol building."

If a website is new, there is a chance that the Wisconsin administrative office responsible for Internet access may block it. If a site has viruses, or publishes threats, if it uses such a large amount of band width, it may cause its own issues with people accessing it.

National Guard Preparedness

Although Fox 11 reports that a spokesperson for the Wisconsin National Guard admitted that the guard was visiting prisons, it was merely in preparedness but not at the request of Governor Walker.

Let's keep the facts straight!!

Last week, Governor Walker requested that the National Guard be prepared to handle any and all situations should the needs arise given the announcement of his bill.

Governor Walker stated in an interview on video at Fox 11 that he didn't expect all of the publicity that came about because of his bill, particularly the national vision.

We find that calling on the National Guard infers that one expects shit to hit the fan, regardless of whether its thrown from Waupaun, Neenah, Green Bay, Richmond or Chicago!

Public Assistance Reform under Walker

Walker's bill provides appropriation of TANF program funds from Federal Government:

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
Reflecting the receipt of emergency contingency funds under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program, this bill increases by $37,000,000 the amount of TANF moneys allocated for the earned income tax credit.

Walker's bill also spins off extensive medical research and medical provisions, including blood stem cell research, leukemia research, bone marrow transplant facilities, research and funding, and the list goes on as to those areas in which UW-Madison has contributed through UW Hospitals and Clinics:

OTHER HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
This bill eliminates the UW Hospitals and Clinics Board, a state agency assigned the single duty to enter into a contractual services agreement with the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority to provide the services of state employees who are in clerical, blue collar and nonbuilding trades, building trades crafts, security and public safety, and technical collective bargaining units. The bill also transfers all employees of the UW Hospitals and Clinics Board to the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority.

Walker's Medical Assistance Reform Act

Walker's bill on Medical Assistance
Although the language is illusive, the outcome is this: current law requires changes to Badger Care to be manifested from the Federal Government and administered locally. The new bill removes Federal law governance and places the administration and law making into one body under the state Governor. This change has the distinct possibility of extensively reducing benefits to Badger Care insured persons or revoking them. The bill's MA provisions are quoted verbatim below.

It is one thing to make state employees pay for benefits that the private sector can only dream about (pensions are all but history in the private sector) and the insurance benefits long enjoyed by state employees would make you drule, but it is quite another thing to play God.

In Arizona, a family man in need of a liver transplant to survive was denied the operation after a matched donor had been found. He will die before the end of this years. At some point while the legislature that sentenced him to death is driving around in his mercedes benz or playing with his children on his back lawn, the family man that was denied a transplant will explain to his elementary-aged daughter that he will die this year. Congratulations, Arizona, we didn't know God had entered your legislature. Congratulations, Wisconsin, you are not far behind.

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

Under current law, DHS administers the Medical Assistance (MA) program, which is a joint federal and state program that provides health services to individuals who have limited resources. Some services are provided through programs that operate under a waiver of federal laws related to medical assistance (MA waiver programs).

This bill requires DHS to:

1. study potential changes to the MA state plan and
2. study potential changes to waivers of federal law relating to: medical assistance for certain purposes, including increasing the cost effectiveness and efficiency of care for the MA program and MA waiver programs and improving the health status of individuals who receive benefits under the MA program or an MA waiver program.
3. If DHS determines, as a result of the study, that revision of existing statutes or rules would be necessary to advance any of the purposes for which the study was conducted, DHS may promulgate rules to implement certain changes, including making certain requirements, modifying benefits, revising provider reimbursement models, developing standards and methodologies for eligibility, and reducing income levels for purposes of determining eligibility.
4. Before promulgating a rule, DHS must submit the proposed rule and any plan developed as a result of the study to JCF for review.
5. DHS must submit an amendment to the state MA plan or request a waiver of federal laws related to medical assistance, if necessary, to the extent necessary to implement any proposal.
6. If the federal Department of Health and Human Services does not allow the amendment or does not grant the waiver, DHS may not put the rule into effect or implement the proposal.
7. To reduce the eligibility income levels to a certain amount, DHS must request a waiver from the secretary of the federal Department of Health and Human Services to permit DHS to have in effect eligibility standards, methodologies, and procedures that are more restrictive than those in place on March 23, 2010.
8. If DHS does not receive approval for the waiver, DHS must reduce the eligibility income levels for MA programs and MA waiver programs to 133 percent of the federal poverty line for adults who are not pregnant and not disabled, as allowed under federal law.
9. DHS may promulgate the rules as emergency rules.

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
Reflecting the receipt of emergency contingency funds under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program, this bill increases by $37,000,000 the amount of TANF moneys allocated for the earned income tax credit.
