I 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!

To ensure the health and safety of the citizens of the United States and stop the Ebola pandemic at its SOURCE.

"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.

Every 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 you

I 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.

My 4-month old granddaughter, Harvey Nicole King, laid down to take a nap and never woke up. She was a seemingly perfectly healthy baby. This is a devastating loss. Every hour of every day another baby dies. We must do something to save these precious lives. We want to ensure hospitals provide more information about SIDS to parents of preemies who are often of low-weight at birth. We want to encourage everyone to read about up-to-date crib death prevention measures and follow the safety precautions!

Since the DEA got involved in healthcare, I was "fired" from my PCP because they no longer wanted to treat me, pain or no pain. A group of doctors in my town of Grand Junction, CO., had been arrested for abusing the prescribing protocols, and they were a cash-only enterprise. Since that happened, no doctor in town will touch a chronic pain patient with a 10-foot pole. I have not been able to re-establish another PCP for going on 2 years now... to say nothing of getting proper treatment for my health issues. I have been told to "apply" online for new doctors, but I get denied because I have been treated for pain in the past--it doesn't even have to be going on presently. Just recently, I had to go to the hospital twice for a severe kidney infection because my complaint and symptoms were rushed by the emergency staff the first time around and sent home. The chronic pain I have stems from a violent attack I sustained in 2008, where I was hurled down 2nd floor-high metal steps, and then raped and left for dead. I did not ask for this pain that has changed my life forever, nor am I a junkie. I just need a physician that gives a damn and will treat me with dignity and without prejudice. Please sign the petition asking congress to amend the DEA control over who doctors can admit as patients so that ALL can be treated fairly.

I want Saint Louis Park to be the healthiest and safest place to live and raise kids. A healthy and safe community thrives and achieves great things. As a citizen, parent and/or employee living and/or working in Saint Louis Park, I want our entire community and environment, including and especially schools, parks and recreation, and childcare, to support better eating and active living. To accomplish this, I request our community: 1. Educate the community about better eating and health. 2. Align school, recreation and childcare environment and policies to support better eating, promote physical activity, and minimize sugar-sweetened beverages and recreational screen time. 3. Place a city-wide focus on gardens, how food grows and where food comes from. 4. Develop a city-wide food council to create policy to provide guidelines and look at best practices for food and beverages served in public settings across our city to all citizens and city- based gardens and gleaning. 5. Work with STEP to maximize the health of food donated and distributed. 6. See health through nutrition as an investment. In places where food or beverages are served to kids: a. Involve our kids, parents and citizens in the choice selection and menu development process. b. In addition to adherence to USDA school food and Smart Snacks standards, work to: •Serve: o more fresh food served as part of meals, snacks, vending, and catering. o foods with no high-fructose corn syrup, added trans-fat or artificial coloring o hormone and antibiotic-free meat and dairy • Minimize food and drinks with added sugars, pesticides, antibiotics and growth hormones • Avoid using food as reward • Avoid food-based fundraising that does not meet school food standards

I have personally been trapped in bed for months, thanks to problems with DME companies. I do not want anyone else to go through what I have.
