Medical professionals including the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that antibiotics could stop working if they continue being overused. Oregon lawmakers have a proposal in their hands to stop one of the leading causes of antibiotic resistance: overuse on farm animals. Please join thousands of doctors, nurses and farmers and ask our lawmakers to act on this proposal.

The effectiveness of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for the treatment of Autism and other Pervasive Developmental Disorders is supported by decades of clinical research (https://www.kennedykrieger.org/patient-care/patient-care-programs/inpatient-programs/neurobehavioral-unit-nbu/applied-behavioral-analysis). Yet insurance companies in Oklahoma continue to deny coverage for ABA therapy on the basis that it is "experimental" or "investigational"; that it is "habilitative" or "educational" in nature; or that the DSM-IV diagnostic codes for pervasive developmental disorders are simply not covered at all. Considering that the CDC estimates 1 in 68 children have been identified and that early intervention with ABA therapy is such a crucial element of a successful treatment plan, it is imperative that insurance companies be required to provide coverage. Furthermore, ABA has demonstrated effectiveness for persons with autism throughout the lifespan. Coverage for ABA should not be limited to children, but should be available to all.

We need more funding and acknowledgement of Pancreatic Cancer. My mother passed away after only 2 and a half months of diagnosis and was in misery from this illness. There is no early detection, so it is not found until too late. More and More people are being diagnosed, as young as their early 20s.

I am a physician and have seen the broken, corrupt system from both ends of the Stethoscope, written a book describing the physician's perspective, and been a patient who was uninsurable in the previous system. I believe that health care is a civil rights issue and that discrimination in health care based on social status should be stopped.

We need this law so ALS patients who on average have 2-3 years to live after diagnosis can use the Internet, which becomes their contact to the outside world. The machines with Eye Gaze technology will give patients access to the Internet, their family, and the world. http://www.indystar.com/longform/sports/2015/03/31/doyel-als-patients/25010527/

Many of us are current and former workers who love our jobs but are worried for our health and the health of our guests (including many senior citizens and families with children). Cigarette smoke puts all of us at a significantly higher risk for allergies, asthma, heart disease, lung disease, stroke, and cancer. Our communities deserve the same public health protections that apply to non-tribal establishments. Conventional wisdom in the gaming industry is that a smoking ban would hurt business, but according to the California Department of Public Health, 88% of adults in California do not smoke. A smoking ban will likely be good for business in the long term. Please sign and share with your family and friends!

Some lawmakers are pushing legislation to force the Alabama ABC Board to give up control of its well-run liquor stores, opening the store for out-of-state corporations to come in and expand liquor sales in Alabama. Studies consistently show that states like Alabama with strong alcohol controls experience less problems associated with alcohol abuse, such as drunkenness and underage drinking. Control works. Keep Alabama in control.

To get the needed benefits and help for my fellow veterans and their families.

Mississippi is currently throwing away the opportunity to receive Federal funds that will positively impact the health of its most vulnerable citizens by expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act . The acceptance of such funds will also hold down the overall cost for health care borne by everyone paying through their insurance or out of pocket. The cost of healthcare in Mississippi has a direct effect on the recruitment of new business and human talent to our State. Refusing to take advantage of Federal monies that will without doubt improve the lot of Mississippians just because of ideological and political reasons is poor policy and just plain wrong. Having spent most of my career working to seek cures for children with cancer, I am mortified by the ideological paralysis that prevails over good and moral sense.

I have arachnoiditis and it's not only a physical battle but a very emotional one too. Most people don't know what it is and most emergency room doctors don't understand the pain and other symptoms that come with it. It's an invisible illness that causes just as much if not more pain than cancer pain.

To help all people with PTSD, Cancer, and other mental disorders and medical problems. This includes me a veteran who is on all kinds on meds that could be a limited if this was legal. My doctor said if it was legal they would have me on medical marijuana and it would reduce the meds I take and would help many Veterans with PTSD. The governor said the Dea said medical marijuana leads to more dangerous drugs so he will not legalize it.We need this for our Veteran and Cancer Patients so let's push this.

The state again wants to cut the population of the Developmental Disabled and replace them with the Mentally Ill. They are using the facade of the Olmstead Act and Jensen Agreement to make it seem as though it will benefit both populations. This will be extremely hurtful to my son who is DD and the others who live in his house as well as others in the same predicament. My son is not ready to be in a less restrictive setting and he is very involved in the community through his work through Range Area Vocational Supports, Special Olympics, and more. Moving him away from his family/supports because there is nowhere close with the programming he needs would have catastrophic if not irreversible outcomes. The state needs to find a better way of integrating the MI into the communities instead of harming the other citizens.
