Access to Medical Treatment-Americans can have access to medical treatments already being used in other countries but that are not FDA approved for USA-There is a little bell ringing-since much of this bill mentions drugs- It could be a ploy by big pharma to get unapproved drugs used in therapy-but it does mention alt medicine- I just can't figure out how this benefit would differ in the cases of alt medicine-who don't use drugs? take a read before you sign.......(??)

Congress is considering amending current laws restricting our access to critical medical treatments - a change that will help save lives.

The law is called the Access to Medical Treatment Act (ATMA), and it gives Americans access to therapies and treatments already being used safely and effectively in other countries, but which are not available here because the FDA has not approved them.

Urge Congress to act swiftly to pass the Access to Medical Treatment Act: http://go.care2.com/e/HlV/d9/Eb3z

The FDA drug approval process is lengthy, expensive, and can take over a decade to complete. People with critical conditions do not have the time to wait that long. And many companies have developed treatments that have been researched, approved and used safely in other countries, but are financially unable to undergo the process for FDA approval. The AMTA gives patients, in need of these life-saving treatments, access to what could save their life.

The AMTA would also allow doctors to prescribe the treatments they feel are most beneficial to their patients. Doctors using alternatives in medicine, nutritionists, naturopaths and others will be free to use the therapies to prevent disease without being harassed, censured or subject to recrimination.

People should have the right to choose their medical treatment, and doctors should be able to prescribe treatments that save lives. Sign our petition and urge your Representative to pass the Access to Medical Treatment Act.
