Glad to see CAAA is doing something.
Supporting Gender equality in the 21st century. Groundbreaking.
What's next, a bill proposing signs must be posted in English and Spanish?
Forget about a bill to overturn IMR or fighting UR. Or addressing MPN issues. Good luck sending all your cases to USHW. Most of them won't accept patients that have an attorney.

Gender equality? So does the bill address apportionment to prostate cancer, testicular cancer, or erectile dysfunction? The only inequality is trying to knock out pre-existing contributory factors that make actually affect a person's ADL's and/or GAF score. All of these conditions, those affecting men and women, are legitimate conditions that can and do have permanent, long lasting emotional side effects. Just ask your family members who have suffered from these diseases, or sadly, even yourself.
