Health Care Reform Must Do More To Address Men's Health Issues
Scott Williams, Vice President of the Men's Health Network, a non-profit organization located in Washington, D.C., says Congress must ensure that reform legislation addresses health issues that specifically affect males. Williams says his organization would prefer that the legislation include a mandate for the creation of an Office of Men's Health within the U.S. Department of Health. This office, or task force, says Williams, would focus on promoting awareness of and early detection of medical conditions such as prostate cancer.

Worth noting that Gay and Bisexual men struggle to have our unique needs noted in our doctors and clinical offices. Complete Medical Consults, Affordable Access and Proactive Testing hallmark men's health needs in the United States. Men must own their health, as Scott Williams wisely states, before we will have a United States of citizens.
