Please Bend the “Arc of Justice,” Say No to Discrimination and Yes to Equality for Federal Health Care Workers

In response to the recently signed Executive Order, which supports equal opportunity for LGBT individuals in the federal workplace, please extend those protected categories to essential health care workers, like myself, who live with rare disorders and equally fulfill a critical role in the provision of quality health care for the nation’s Veterans. Please be aware, under the FEHBP, access to lifesaving treatment for prospective enrollees like myself is denied because of AGE for phenylketonuria, an inborn error of metabolism for which there is no cure. It is the responsibility of the government to assure EQUALITY in the provision of successful working conditions for the recruitment and retainment of a worldclass workforce, not to discriminate. Please empower & uphold opportunity for all
