UOS joins Obama's "National Health Care Day of Service"

day_of_service1.jpg All nationwide theatrical screenings of UNDER OUR SKIN on Saturday, June 27th are presented in conjunction with President Obama's Organizing for America's National Health Care Day of Service. We are joining with hundreds of others grass-roots activists and initiatives to bring awareness to the country's failing health care system. UNDER OUR SKIN is a case study for what's wrong and needs to be fixed. By aligning it with the current national debate we can create awareness and spur change, bringing hope to Lyme sufferers and others abandoned by the broken systems of medical research, health delivery, and insurance. Please make a special effort to watch UNDER OUR SKIN in theaters on June 27th, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington, DC, and Santa Cruz. Bring a posse with you, join with others demanding change, and turn a trip to the movies into a national health care day of service.

Avoid often used phrases. If you want to impress someone as different, use words that are a little different. Terms like "how is it going" or "see ya later" do not show originality or wit. People appreciate someone in their life that is witty and is not a mundane and uninteresting person. Take time and think before you write.

Use first names. If you start a communication with Mr. Or Miss Smith, they may think that they are receiving a sales message. This is not a good way to start things off. When you start a letter with Debbie dating, or Frank, this gets immediate attention. This puts you on a first name basis at the start, and this is a good way to begin.

I'll have to go see this film. I think it's great that you are joining with many others in bring awareness of our health care system. I'm currently without health insurance because I have asthma and can't find a plan that will accept me. I'm probably going to get temporary health insurance until I can find a job with a group plan.

I actually wonder how much of Obama’s campaigns are just pure smoke, created and launched to keep his voters happy without much to show in terms of actual results. That being said, I think UoS did a great job!

In 2003, I became aware

Submitted by dave h (not verified) on August 10, 2009 - 1:15am.
In 2003, I became aware through sensitive lab work (IGENEX) and the incredibly thorough and complete diagnosis of Dr Raxlen that I had contracted lyme and a co-infection some where between 8-10 years prior. My manifestations were mostly neurologically related with some classic symptoms. My traditional doctors had given me the approved lyme's test on no less than 5 different times during this period, all coming up negative for lymes. After nearly 3 years of treatment I had had significant improvement, though currently I am beginning to experience some symptoms of reoccurence. UOS is incredibly moving and right on about the facts. It is possible with continued and increasing public pressure that real change can begin to come about within the current model of health care and insurance, albeit not without a lot of kicking and screaming. My fear is that once healthcare resides in the perview of the federal government, the need to restrain costs will prevail over scientific truth in this and all other areas of care. The government's management of our money is a rather dismal history. I am currently investigating the house bill (1000 pages). There is some REALLY disturbing stuff in there that has little to do with reform. Might be better to reform the devil we know...

My son has suffered from lime

Submitted by Patti Dock (not verified) on July 25, 2009 - 7:36pm.
My son has suffered from lime disease that started as a simple case when he was 13 or 14. When he was an adult it traveled to his brain and spine. He has been paralized, had spasms, has head aches, and is under intense pain, and each summer it takes tremendous amounts of tests and time to convince the insurance company that the lime disease has returned and to insert the pick line so that the antibiotics can begin to work. Each year it takes more of a toll on his body.

As a Lyme patient, I applaud

Submitted by Kevin (not verified) on July 20, 2009 - 2:30am.
As a Lyme patient, I applaud the efforts to inform and educate our elected officials about Lyme disease. However, aligning with a political agenda can be dangerous. For example, in 1993 the U.S. Senate convened a hearing on finding a better way to diagnosis and treat Lyme disease. The committee heard from those who suffer from the disease, Lyme-literate experts (including Dr. Burrascano), and representatives from the CDC and NIH. After their testimony the members of the Senate committee vowed to help. In that same year the U.S. Congress had much debate about federally funded healthcare. It seems to me that some in Washington meant to use Lyme Disease as a reason to promote government healthcare. Either way, the guidelines for the treatment and diagnosis are still vague and often inaccurate. Let’s be careful not to repeat history.

I am an RN, and I have Lyme

Submitted by Teresa (not verified) on June 25, 2009 - 7:30pm.
I am an RN, and I have Lyme disease. I was unable to get medical treatment for years due to physician ignorance and their arrogant denial, receiving the typical misdiagnoses for decades - and I have "perfectly fine" insurance. I support joining in the Nat'l Health Care Day of Service, even though we do not know the outcome of health care reform, because there are too many people suffering from Lyme disease - with & without sufficient insurance. As Pres Obama says, he wants to bring all sides to the table. So that is what we need to do: come to the table and speak up and speak clearly. We need to expose the convenient relationships between insurance companies, certain medical specialty groups, and research institutions. Sure... we don't know what the outcome of health reform will be, but right now, what we have is not working either - not for people with Lyme (& many other conditions, for that matter!). I am looking forward to attending a showing of UOS in Santa Cruz on 6/27/09 in the spirit of service.

I am a Lyme survivor and more

Submitted by Kathie (not verified) on June 25, 2009 - 10:19am.
I am a Lyme survivor and more than willing to be an advocate for others. I have this film as two private copies. It is extremely well done. My concern is that President Obama's push toward national health care will HURT, NOT HELP those of us who struggle to get diagnosed and treated. I do not wish to align myself with his agenda. My case did not fall under CDC guidelines and much testing and time and money was spend before final diagnosis. Then, three years of treatment was needed. Under CDC guidelines, which I assume will become the standard, doctors will be forced to follow those guidelines. Under that premise,I would not have been able to get or afford my journey through doctors to the right one or to get my medications. If his plans come to life, I believe Lyme patients will have fewer, not better options.
