Proposed merge for “Reforming Restrictions on Pain Management and Ending the Harmful Stigma Against Pain Patients”
I propose that the following 4 policy proposals, addressing the need for reforming pain management restrictions and ending the stigma against chronic pain patients, get merged:
1 @Cole_Jensen
2 @colleenconway821
#3 @Tracy24
#4 @daveys35
Explanation & Justification
I propose that these policies be merged because they all focus on reforming restrictions on pain management and reducing the stigma against chronic pain patients. While each policy raises important points, consolidating them into one comprehensive proposal will strengthen our collective voice and increase the likelihood of being taken seriously by lawmakers.
The policy I’ve submitted currently has the most engagement and detailed contributions, including input from chronic pain patients and advocates. It has gained significant traction with over 1,800 votes, making it a strong candidate to serve as the main proposal moving forward. Since this policy is intended to be presented to lawmakers, it is crucial to combine our efforts and focus on one unified proposal to ensure clarity, impact, and alignment.
Merging these proposals will ensure that our shared goals are represented in the strongest possible way, giving us the best chance to effect meaningful change.
