We, the undersigned, support Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, request of the General Accounting Office, (GAO), examination of CDC's contracting procedures.

We ask further of the GAO to assist the American people and force reform through federal accountability. Specifically, concerning the cooperate take-over of hepatitis C funding, and  the numerous "other" GAO, CDC investigations to correct the many problems within the nations only source for public health awareness.

We ask the GAO to examine the Department of Human Health Services' (DHHS) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 

  • OMB is ignoring fundamental public health goals to control exposures well before causing functional impairment.
     
  • OMB's definition of risk assessment is too broad and in conflict with long-established concepts and practices.
     
  • OMB is forcing a political verses science DHHS public health policy through questionable reorganization practices at the CDC, resulting in a possible conflict of the fiduciary responsibility to the American public. 
     
  • The above government agencies lack accountability for handling of the HCV epidemic and is worthy of an oversight investigation. 

The GAO's immediate attention to this matter will save lives!

Sincerely,

An American Citizen that deserves a better Public Health System.

I support a GAO investigation of the above agencies and hope it does some good. The GAO needs to get tough. How many more investiagations will it take before its too late. Heavens forbid there be a new public health threat because we are not prepared to deal with it. The CDC is now a political machine that places profit over lives as many of the 501s associated with it.

RECENT LIVER TRANSPLANT PATIENT WHO IS TRYING WITHOUT SUCCESS TO RECEIVE SERVICE-CONNECTION FOR MY HEP 'C'. I HOPE WE CAN PREVENT THE SAME THING FROM HAPPENING TO OTHERS.
My father was diagnosed with HC which he got from the military. He only recently found out last year that he had it though. The health system failed to tell him that the virus was even in his blood after he left the military. Health Care in general seems to be taking a turn for the worse. No longer do they care about the people who really need the help. Most people are quick to look the other way if it is something like a disease or something with a transplant. Something has to be done, for veterans and for the working people both.
