I'm not a government employee, a healthcare official, and I'm the farthest person from a politician, I'm just your average American citizen who like every other American is bombarded with Ebola news. It seems like everyday there's some type of Ebola scare somewhere in the country and it's getting ridiculous. The solution is very simple... JUST DON'T LET IT IN OUR COUNTRY. We need to lock down all airports and not even let passengers off the plane if there's a suspicion. Or at the very least, Just like Governor Chris Christi, have it mandatory that any passenger flying from one of the Western African countries into NJ be quarantined. It's time we americans become jerks and do what's necessary to protect OUR people from this horrendous virus. If an outbreak happens somewhere over here, how many other countries do you think will be coming over to help us. The answer is none, not even our UK friends. Just take a look back at different catastrophes that we've had such as Hurricanes Andrew, Katrina, Sandy, all of the countless tornadoes that ripped through our country, all of the forest fires and snow storms where multiple states have lost power. Yes these are totally different, but if we never received any help from other countries for non contagious situations, do you really think we'd get any help if this spreads and people start dying as a result. Since before would war 1, the US has been helping other countries and even intervening when things started to get bad in some situations just like how we just sent 3000 troops over to west Africa to build hospitals to treat the virus. We spend Trillions of our tax dollars to help these countries and for what. It's seriously time we start minding our own business and just focus on taking care of ourselves and there's no time to do just that like the present. It seems like since we heard about the outbreak in Africa, we've only been hearing about little incidents popping up in different areas of the US. You never hear about incidents in other countries. It's as if the infected or potentially infected are ONLY trying to come here. If we're not aggressive and vigilant about this virus now, it's going to get out of control. At this very moment, the European Union has gone to the World Health Organization because they want to restrict all flights from West African countries from coming into Europe. So the Europeans are taking drastic measures to protect themselves, we should be doing the exact same thing to protect our people. So what's going to happen when flights are restricted from going into Europe? They're all going to come directly to America thus rapidly increasing our chances of coming in contact with the virus. After 9/11, we all came together as Americans against terrorism and once again we need to do the same. Except this time to protect ourselves, our family, and our friends from coming in contact with a virus that has the potential of becoming a fast spreading plague. That's all I'm saying and these are just my observations and opinions. I'm a man who will do anything to protect my family and I'm sure you all feel the same. If you agree, then please sign this petition and forward the link on your social media websites so others can sign. I'm only saying what a lot of us Americans are thinking, and I don't want to just sit around and watch this happen when I know deep in my heart how serious this is. Maybe some politician somewhere will see this and actually try to do something that's guaranteed to keep this virus out of our country. WE ARE THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND WE DEMAND OUR VOICES BE HEARD.

Kaci Hickox is showing a direct disregard for the health and well being of the Public by not complying with Federal and State regulations.

Some are afraid of having her back in Maine!

Between the ages of 18 and 24 are the years during which most mental illnesses are diagnosed. Adding psychiatric services to the current health services system at TWU will give students the opportunity to see a psychiatrist, be diagnosed, and receive the proper treatment including medication. In order for those living with mental health concerns to receive disability services, a diagnosis must be made, having psychiatric services on campus will allow all students living with mental illness to receive support services.

Petition to grant Eric Gunnels eligibility for disability due to epilepsy.

I've recently been rejected three times by the Veterans Administration (VA) for restorative work on my rotted teeth and jaw. I believe that I am qualified for such care under the law already in existence, but the VA disagrees. In addition to me, there are probably up to 8.6 million veterans in the VA Healthcare System who are receiving no dental care whatsoever, and the very rare few (perhaps up to 5 percent) who are receiving very substandard dental care. This needs to end, and veterans and those who agree with this petition need to sign it and pass it on.

"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!!!"

To give Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to people from Ebola affected areas(Guinea,liberia and Sierra Leone),so that they can work and support their families,people and countries that are affected in the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).

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/Lamivudine

I 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.

Congress 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 effort

Republican 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!
