Legislation and a Class-Action Suit - Cover FDA Approved Surgery
Maybe we should try the legislative route. Course we could all be dead before we were successful!
Writing letters to your senators/congressmen does help IF it's done on a huge scale. I am involved in a class-action lawsuit that started with trying to get legislation changed. We gave people "sample" letters that they could "change" to fit their situation. Most people don't feel comfortable writing letters, so giving them an example helped. We did the same with emails and flooded their mailboxes, ditto phone calls. Posted their email addresses and government mail addresses and phone numbers. Got their attention, but not legislative changes  .
This lead to a class-action lawsuit, but it takes years.
None of this works unless you have people to organize the effort and make it a nationwide project. The environmental groups are very good at this. There should be a medical activist group! Large groups making loud noises works best. All sounds good, but not easily accomplished.
Talk is easy  , but putting time, effort and money where your "mouth is" is huge job. Been there, still doing it  .
