My knee is "bone on bone" have a brace to Push knee joint open to receive stem cells.
Does anyone agree that we should petition and get insurance co. to pay for stem cells- less costly than surgery?

Yes we should! However, Ive been told that we are behind the rest of the world on stem cell research because the US put the brakes on that in the early 2000s. I think they need more research/testing for the FDA to pass it, no? I would happily to help with any petitions that might speed things up.

Hi Mari @mari, I TOTALLY agree with you! We should do something to change things! However, I believe it takes more than a petition. In line with that, a number of entities may be willing and able to help. I am thinking of various associations, including retirees associations; Investigative TV, newspaper, and cable journalists; and of course our elected officials.
What do you think?
