Dr. Gary Gibbons: Start Clinical Trials at NIH using The Caplan Method."Mr. James Caplan discovered and has made a significant contribution in researching and applying medical ozone/oxygen for the treatment of sickle cell anemia patients. It is unconscionable that this inexpensive, proven treatment has been ignored for so long by the medical establishment, in this country. This treatment relieves patients of excruciating pain that they suffer many times during the year, every year of their lives. The time for action is NOW!!!"20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by La Reine Nixon

URGENT Send the HIV drug Lamivudine to West Africa to treat Ebola!!Dr. Gorbee Logan tried using LAMIVUDINE against Ebola . This News seems to have been ignored unintentionally because around the same time the US cases were being announced by the CDC. We failed to see that a local Doctor in Africa may have found a drug that was 93 percent successful (in his unit , out of 15 patients 2 died) So we are asking the US to move with the highest speed in order to contain this disease. 10000 people a week will have the illness out of control. The new Czar can get the Drug companies to lower its prices completely, then set up a place where everyone can donate even 10 dollars and with the 3000 US military and the many health care workers already on the ground we can beat this!! http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/27/health/ebola-hiv-drug/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamivudine84 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Odhiambo

Save women and babies by a simple blood testI lost my son when I was 38 weeks pregnant because with factor V you can not carry a baby past 38 weeks. If i was given a simple blood test my son would still be here today. Women who have this factor V can not be on birth control pills or they could die. Why not save lives by just allowing one blood test to be done on every woman? And much more than this. This should be passed in all states.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by kayla burnett

Fund cure and care for EbolaCongress has cut funding for emergency health preparedness in half since 2001. This is part of the reason that a cure for Ebola has not already been found. Our world in interconnected; people in Africa are our brothers and sisters; we thrive together or we perish together. The U.S. is in a financial position to fund this effort48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kitty Kelly Epstein, PhD

We need leadership to fight Ebola. Confirm Vivek Murthy as Surgeon GeneralRepublican politicians continue to play political games with our healthcare. They have had more than 50 votes in Congress to repeal Obamacare. They have refused to expand Medicaid in dozens of states across the nation. They have closed reproductive health clinics. They have cut budgets for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. (The NIH said that these cuts have delayed the development on an effective Ebola vaccine.) Now, these same GOP leaders are hypocritically calling for an “Ebola Czar.” Sen John McCain, a vocal opponent of appointing “czars,” is now leading the fight to appoint an Ebola Czar. The problem is that the federal government already has a position to lead the nation on healthcare issues like Ebola. It’s called the Surgeon General. Unfortunately, the position has been vacant for over a year. Obama's nominee for the position, Vivek Murthy, has had his appointment held up for months by Republicans in the Senate (mostly because of opposition from the NRA). Tell Congress to stop playing political games with our healthcare. Tell Congress that the leadership we need on Ebola is waiting for their vote. Confirm Vivek Murthy for Surgeon General now!6,466 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Morrill

Insurance Company Denies Long Term Disability to Employee with Fatal DiseaseI was diagnosed with a fatal and incurable disease in 2006. I pushed myself until October 2013. I had to fight to get all of my Short Term Disability. I have been banned from driving, I have crippling arthritis, I am connected to Phillips Lifeline because I have trouble walking and much more. I am due LTD pay back to April 29, 2014 and I have exhausted all financial outlets. If my employer and the organization I am contracted to can spend millions to fight Ebola ~ it's time for them to STEP UP TO THE PLATE and pay me the 60% of my measly salary until my Social Security Disability is approved!13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tammy A.

Healthcare for Millions of Kids at Risk"Sorry kids, no health care for you because Congress is busy not doing anything. Good luck!" Unless we pressure Congress to act, this will be the reality for families working hard to make ends meet. Millions of children risk losing access to healthcare coverage next year if Congress fails to extend funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP covers millions and it's helped decrease the number of uninsured children by half since it passed with bipartisan support in 1997. Families have enough to worry about. The health security of their kids shouldn't be one of them. Tell Congress to do the right thing and extend funding for CHIP immediately.25,614 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Camden Lee

Let Veterans Decide On VA Medical CareEvery veteran has a horror story (or several) about delayed care, bad care and abuses by VA staff. In light of the recent scandals and the number of veteran suicides it is clear the VA is outmoded and less than helpful. Do you remember the Vietnam Era Agent Orange denials? How about the Gulf War Syndrome denials? I have been waiting over a year for a replacement knee and had to write my Senator (Debbie Stabenow) for help. Finally after a year and a half, I will get a civilian surgeon and get care that is long overdue. If you are a veteran, or know a veteran, you will be familiar with the mistreatment of us by the VA. Please help Veterans get the care they deserve by signing this petition. Thank you15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robb Nortier

Gift of LifeI would like to ask that in the event a person locates a living donor, they are able to confidently accept the gift of life no matter their economic status or savings. Let this not be a three year sliver of happiness. Let this be a lifetime of happiness. The cost of dialysis per month surpasses the cost of anti-rejection medications which lose coverage after three years. Please join me in the defense of the gift of life. God bless you sir. I believe in you.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by melissa franklin
