Harrison,

What if we had some sort of organized thoughtful submission to the Oprah show, discussing you, this forum, your connections, our desire for ADR and how so many people have to go out of the country to get the best available treatment, and of course the issue that bugs me the most...how FEHB forces private insurers to cover this procedure for fed employees because fed gov't plan's have determined an FDA approved device can no longer be "investigational and experimental" while private employed invdividuals have a never ending uphill battle to get coverage.

Maybe we could all "sign" something thoughtful that incorporates references to surgeons and/or spinal organizations, literature? What do you think. Is there a way to have as many people sign something via the forum?

of course I think personal stories submitted invidually are also compelling!
