Dear President Obama,

Respectfully, the signers of this petition, as both health care professionals and many thinking US citizens from all walks of life strongly recommend Dr. George Lundberg as ideal appointment to this office.

We believe that our Surgeon General’s first task is to use the position to help remoralize American Medicine in the following three areas that transcend any particular important scientific public-health topic. These core issues must be addressed before any worthy scientific public health issue can be addressed effectively. We urge our new Surgeon General to address the following upon entering the position.

1) Affordable health Insurance for all American Citizens.

2) Rebuilding Trust in our Federal Agencies that are Responsible for our Public Heath. An emphasis on deregulation in recent decades led to a very serious erosion of public trust in our federal agencies charged with protecting our public health. Our next Surgeon General must participate in the process of rebuilding trust.

3) Wanton Overuse of Potentially Dangerous Medicines and Medical Technology – The insured (most of us) receive too many potentially dangerous medical interventions. Our next US Surgeon General needs to help put the brakes on these dangerous and costly excesses driven by a for profit model that is clearly out of control.

Dr George Lundberg is a consummate public health scientist and knows public health issues, he strongly embraces the above three priorities in words and deeds.

As Editor- in-Chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association’s journal, commonly known as JAMA, between 1982-1999. In 1999 he then went onto become(until January 30, 2009) Editor-in-Chief of MEDSCAPE, the leading source of online health information and education for physicians thus establishing himself as genuine pioneer in e-medicine work a trend he recognized very early and began at the AMA. He was dubbed “Online HealthCare’s Medicine Man” by The Industry Standard. He excels in both professional and patient medical education.

At this critical time in nation’s history we need a physician with the gravitas, the in depth experience, the credibility with both the professional and public communities, and most importantly, the moral credentials and authority to effectively utilize the bully pulpit of the US Surgeon General position to speak, not only for good public health science removed from the excesses of financial interests, but also to speak from a platform of core lifelong values. Dr. George Lundberg fits that job description..

Quite frankly, in short, we need a man or woman of gravitas, moral fiber and substance for this venerable office of US Surgeon General.

PLEASE HELP DR. GEORGE LUNDBERG BECOME OUR NEXT US SURGEON GENERAL – SIGN THE PETITION BELOW AND PLEASE PASS IT ON THE OTHERS OF LIKE MIND.

Thank you!
Dr Rick Lippin
