My son took his own life at his college in 2009 just two weeks after making a suicide attempt on that same campus. The written material given to us by his institution said they would call parents in an emergency. They did not. We want to save lives and prevent other parents from experiencing the pain and anguish of losing a child. We believe making parents aware that they will not automatically be called in an emergency can lead to an open discussion with their adult children before they go off to college regarding the best course of action to take in the case of an emergency.

NYS is about to vote on including or eliminating Out Of Network benefits on the NYS of Health insurance exchange policies.

This is a danger to their well-being. Sign to insist that Out of Network benefits are a required option on the NYS of Health website policies.

Currently, many Georgia families with members who suffer from illnesses treatable with medical marijuana are faced with a difficult decision: Wait for lawmakers to advance legislation or uproot their families and seek treatment in other states. A total of 23 states and the District of Columbia now allow for comprehensive public medical marijuana and cannabis programs. More than one million U.S. patients receive the treatment for a wide range of conditions--from multiple sclerosis and nausea caused by cancer chemotherapy to Crohn’s disease and seizure disorders. CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta has been vocal in his support for legalizing medical marijuana and doctors across the nation share his professional opinion. It’s not enough for our governor and other state leaders to slow walk clinical trials in Georgia when other states have made much more progress more quickly. Both the science and the support from the medical community are there. Tell your lawmaker to support Georgia families who would benefit from legalized medical marijuana.

Pour la survie de notre pays :

I have epilepsy with cognitive deficits due to past seizures and medication. ADHD and slow processing has destroyed my employment record. I have been denied disability even though medication doesn't control the seizures. It's time for Social Security to recognize epilepsy is more than seizures. Damage from seizures and medication must be considered.

Laila and Betty have served the community for decades and every day deal with problems that go beyond financial services. A licensed clinical social worker and a registered nurse can not be replaced by financial counselors with one day of training. There have been too many cuts to HIV services in SF and it must stop. The Davies Campus is doing itself, and the city of SF a huge disservice while drastically reducing the breadth of services to thousands of HIV patients who desperately need the extra help Laila and Betty are uniquely qualified to provide.

1 in 100 children are affected by a Congenital Heart Disease in South Dakota, with 1 in 4 of those being critical. Only 1/3 are diagnosed before they are born. A simple and painless test using a pulse oximeter prior to discharge would save the lives of many children.

Pharmacists are being pushed beyond their limits. Medication errors are on the rise and the companies only care about the bottom line! It's time for Pharmacists to take the Profession back!!!!!

I was diagnosed with infertility and was denied my IVF health insurance benefit from the Hawaii Medical Services Association (HMSA) because I was not married. As a result, I was forced to pay out of pocket for my IVF procedure while married women using their spouse's sperm, civil union couples and same-sex married couples using donor's sperm were allowed the benefit. Infertility does not discriminate, and the right of a woman to access her health benefits to support her decision relating to procreation shall be free of unjustified government interference according to the Hawai`i Constitution. The right to health and family belongs to all women, equally. One woman, all women. One family, all families.

Over one million persons could die in TX from no insurance.

This is not an African issue, it is a GLOBAL issue. We need to prevent the further spread of the virus and help the people infected.

The way the current regulations are set up each dispensary has a different hardship program. This will cause good programs to be over run and will allow bad programs to avoid giving back to the community. It shouldn't matter where in the state you live to receive care, compassion, and quality of service from a state run program. The amendment would change the wording from allowing individual dispensaries to make whatever program they like and instead make a structured hardship program that will actually help needy patients.
