I got wind of this about a month ago. I was horrified that this was even proposed. I was able to cut back on opiads, but to know they are available to me is a comfort. I can't imagin, taking away peoples pain medications. No government should condemn a person to a torturous existance with no pain medication. I think there will be a terrible rebellion if this should be enacted. Cancer pain is definately not the only kind of pain there is. Those that suffer should not be threatened with such a thing. I am outraged at this. I would take to protesting myself, and writing whatever letters I could to stop this from happening. I vote we all write letters to stop this from ever coming to some government agency. This is flat out wrong to do to folks. ginnie
