What the petition asks
Biologic therapies for rheumatologic diseases, which are targeted at molecules involved in the mechanisms of the immune system, provide an alternative to the existing treatment methods of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and other immunosuppressive medications.

This medication could really help a lot of other patients, who are young and want to get back into work, education and struggle with the side effects of chemo and current ways to treat their conditions.
