MS JAff -you are seriously misguided and uneducated when it comes to pain care and the aca. THe ACA doesnt require any doctor to have any education in pain care-and that is the major barrier to improved pain care in the country. Even the AAPM wrote to the iom indicating such. 7 members of the IOM study on pain are from the APS-and they have indicated they are opposed to requiring doctors to have education in pain care. Calling for moe research from the NIH or cdc wont help people in pain as their is a lack of concern in the cdc and nIH for people in pain-they are the ones who failed to convince congress to give more money for pain research in the first place. And more of the same old biomedical research or underpowered "pain management" research isnt done for people in pain- but for researchers. Its a terrible thing to see without a vision-no one on the IOM or in NIH has a real vision for people in pain-and hence the lives of millions in pain will continue to be lost in a thousand uncaring ways The dried voicess of those in pain remain mute and meaningless and distant as fading stars as Congress wishes to do the bidding of the health care industry and continues to ignore the cries of people i pain
