(Estimated Final Signatures: 18,957 - 93 added in the past 24hrs)

- 8,515 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,598 - 770 added in the past 24hrs)
Being told you have a terminal illness is devastating news. Being told you're not eligible for fast track benefits because you're expected to live longer than the '12 months or less' timeframe feels inhumane. TERMINAL MEANS TERMINAL, even if you're likely to live longer than 12 months.
