"Disabled individuals with incurable painful diseases and debilitating injuries are experiencing systemic discrimination which has left them without any good options. Their choices are to exist in agony, attempt to self-medicate via the black market, or suicide.

To ensure health equity, reduce discriminatory practices in medicine and improve the quality of life and function to disabled individuals, we respectfully request the following actions be considered to correct this grievous inequity.

1. The Department of Justice shall prepare and release guidance for "Pain, Policy Modification Requirements & the Americans with Disabilities Act."

2. The Department of Justice, all federal agencies and federally funded programs shall immediately cease any program

that targets clinicians for investigation and/or prosecution that uses a subjective definition of Legitimate Medical Treatment.

3. Congressional Hearings shall be scheduled by the House Oversight Committee and the Judiciary Committee to investigate these issues

and form a plan for corrective action."
