Michael Paranzino Hear Quotations

When we visit with Congressional offices, we are told again and again about the historic doubling of biomedical research funding that has occurred in the last decade. But for the as many as 7.5 million Americans with psoriasis, this doubling of funding at NIH is a cruel joke, because psoriasis research has actually been decimated during this time. People with psoriasis, and their loved ones, must step up and make their voices heard to get this reversed, or this incurable and often debilitating disease will continue to devastate lives for generations to come.

Congress will be disappointed to hear that more than 15,000 constituents with psoriasis in every Congressional District continue to be shortchanged by federal research programs. We need our lawmakers to help us as we ask for simple fairness.
