We need pouches at the House and the Senate! We need pouches at the House and the Senate! Fellow Ostomates, we are at a time in life again where government collides. We have been fighting for our lives, then we have to fight for our supplies. Have we not had enough? This is the year we need to be heard until they pass bills to take care of our supplies so we can be productive! Not worrying about where we are going to get our supplies. Life is too short! This gives jobs! This puts money back into the government! Why are we still sitting back and taking this? There are millions of us with millions of votes! Let the pouches be recognized! Do not live in fear of what others think! I have had an ostomy for 30 years and we are still under a stupid stigma that we allow to exist. Women fought for the right to vote; blacks fought for the right to vote. We have not had to fight to vote; we have been too ashamed to be noticed to vote. Well, I have had enough! My little ole vote will be there and my voice will be there first.
Here here!
I'd lay bets that there are or have been pouches in the Senate & House... because we've had presidents with them, also. Unfortunately, politicians have an income and/or insurance that allows them better access to healthcare. So it's not just an ostomy issue, it's a healthcare issue. Joy joy.
