Greg and list, I agree that pwp need to be aware of how the next administration feels about NIH funding. Prescription drug coverage for medicare recipients is also an issue we should be listening for on a party platform. I'm trying to "hear" what each candidate is saying on issues that impact on Parkinson's, prescription drug and medical insurance, patient's rights, education, national security, jobs.....I want it ALL. As citizens of USA, let's pay attention to what each candidate supports and then GO VOTE!

I was especially interested in the commitment he made to doubling the national funds for medical research. This could be the push PD, and other ailments need to find a cure. No matter who you favor in the upcomong election your choice will have a profound effect on the future health of all. Greg 47/35/35 ----------
