This petition is to get someone, somewhere in the Government to admit that Toxic Black Mold Kills People. It does much more then just cause "Breathing Problems" We have Thousands who are aware, and probably millions suffering and not knowing the problem was Mold. The more awareness that "Mold Kills". The more educated the general public, media, doctors, and the government are about this, the better it can be for everyone.

The Food and Drug Administration does not require safety testing of new genetically modified foods (“GMOs”), instead relying on corporations' profits from the sale of such foods to ensure their safety for us. Contrary to industry claims, GMO foods have not been proven safe, and a growing body of independent, peer-reviewed studies have linked the consumption of GMO foods to allergies, infertility, immune problems, gastrointestinal disruption, cancer, and a host of other diseases. GMO crops can easily contaminate non-GMO crops, threatening organic agriculture, and their use is linked to increases in toxic pesticide use and the emergence of “superweeds.” Further, the absence of labeling of GMO foods and seeds prohibits those with specific ethical or religious practices from making informed food choices. More than 60 other countries around the world inform their citizens if their food is genetically engineered, and national polls consistently show that more than 90% of Americans want to share this same basic human right. GMO labeling legislation has been introduced in over 25 states, and on June 3, 2013, Connecticut passed a GMO labeling law - the first in the nation. But, it requires at least four other states to adopt similar legislation before it goes into effect. One state must border Connecticut. Massachusetts now has the opportunity to help protect the transparency, integrity, and democracy of our food supply for all Americans.

On March 31 a flawed Medicare formula, the Sustainable Growth Rate, will trigger a 24% physician payment cut. And, unless Congress takes swift action, Medicare patients and their doctors will be hit hard. Hard work by both Republicans and Democrats has produced a long-awaited, hard-fought policy framework putting Medicare on the path toward a stable, 21st-century program that can meet the growing health care needs of the nation's seniors. Over 250 congressmen have signed a letter supporting the bill that will prevent the massive Medicare cuts and fix the problem once and for all. They have advanced legislation that take significant steps toward allowing physicians and other health care providers to design systems of care that best serve their patient populations through new and innovative care delivery models. But politics-as-usual is getting in the way, and Congress is only weeks away from driving Medicare of this new fiscal cliff. We can't allow this process to stall and let this hard-work be for nothing! Tell Congress it’s time to stop putting off this problem with temporary, patch-work fixes and seize this opportunity to solve it. Let's repeal the SGR and move toward a Medicare program that supports physicians for providing high-quality patient-centered health care. Congress is working against a March 31 deadline, at which point the SGR formula calls for a 24 percent cut to physician payments. It's critical to maintain the momentum in Congress: Your voice could tip the balance to pass repeal this year. Join our campaign! Sign our petition and use the power of social media to spread our message throughout the online community and directly target elected officials to make SGR repeal a priority NOW.

As we know Tax Rates are very important as corporations within certain business districts rely on lower tax rates. When it comes to the ACA being enacted by Indiana not only Hoosiers are disappointed. Indiana effects surrounding states, as there will be no Region Specific Constraints on doing business. Governor Pence's refusal to approve expansion of medicaid will result in higher prices for all of us in Specific Regions, and the effects of that can be viewed as a undue "Tax because of Indiana." Understanding that under the ACA, when insurance rates in Indiana are higher than surrounding states, it undermines all the benefits we could achieve between 2016 -2020. Therefor its reasonable in the minds minds of most, for Alliances and Coalitions in Indiana and surrounding States should support this petition. The ultimate reason to support this petition: Under the ACA as we promote preventative care, and as we become less ill, less often, its only normal that "routine Care (in or out patient Care) would decrease and for some completely end. The more Americans are enrolled the lower medial should cost. Looking Forward: New and improved remedy's for stuff we never imagined, are now more available for what used to be termed "Terminal Illness" and ailments? We are now more positioned now than ever before in our history to eliminate tradition harmful treatments and leave a wonderful legacy for our children to carry on. Economy: As more routine Care become eliminated because of creating a healthier society, demands for very costly treatments will subside along with its Costs. Reduced health care cost creates competition for insurance company's and It's good for both families and the economy and Business and it will get harmful Drugs off the Market.. Please Sign and Share. Those who fall on hard times need a helping hand and its the Godly thing to do.Those who fall on hard times need a helping hand and its the Godly thing to do.

MoveOn is putting pressure on Republicans who are blocking millions of low-income Americans from accessing quality health care by refusing to expand Medicaid. But Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal can’t stand the heat and the state is threatening legal action to stop MoveOn’s campaign. Last week, Louisiana Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne publicly demanded MoveOn take down a billboard that criticized Jindal for preventing 242,000 low-income Louisianans from accessing Medicaid as part of the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Just days later, state officials threatened legal action again MoveOn. Sign the petition: Tell Bobby Jindal to expand Medicaid and stop the frivolous lawsuit threats.

On January 17, 2014 a former co-student of my daughter took her own life. Madison Holleran was a freshman at U Penn, and she was also an extremely talented runner on U Penn's track team. Her suicide left a void in the hearts of so many people across the state. This law would allow us to keep Madison's legacy alive, and help other young adults from choosing suicide as a way of escaping the pressures of college expectations.

To provide many people, like my sister who is now battling breast cancer for a second time, the legal means to obtain medication that would allow her to eat and become healthy enough to battle this disease without throwing up after every meal while removing the fear of losing their jobs causing them to be without health care and benefits while they fight to recover.

A package of harmful bills attacking access to women’s health care just passed the Alabama House and is poised to be debated in the Senate. These bills were designed to block access to abortion at any cost -- and it's clear that legislators haven’t gotten the message: People don’t want politicians to interfere in a woman’s personal, private decisions. Meanwhile, Alabama is facing budget shortfalls and lack of funding for education. We need to politicians to focus on the issues that impact all Alabamians, and not these dangerous bills. Act now to tell Alabama Senate leaders to reject these unnecessary and unacceptable bills.

Florida isn't just turning away Medicaid expansion money—now they're jeopardizing *existing* funding. The state is trying to cap the number of emergency room visits for Medicaid patients, in defiance of federal law. As a result, the feds are threatening to pull their funding. Florida is already one of two dozen states where Republican politicians hate Obamacare so much that they refused the Medicaid expansion provided by the Affordable Care Act. Which means that 730,000 low-income Floridians who qualify for Medicaid don’t have health insurance. Sign the petition to Florida Gov. Rick Scott and the GOP legislature to stop the political tantrum on Obamacare. Accept the Medicaid expansion, and comply with federal law.

Governor McAuliffe has made it a priority to expand Medicaid in Virginia. Unfortunately, leaders in the Virginia House are holding the expansion up. If Virginia rejects these funds, over 190,000 Virginians will be uninsured. Tell Governor McAuliffe and the Virginia Legislature to accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the over 190,000 Virginians that would benefit.

I want everyone to have healthcare provided the way I always have as a second grade teacher, now retired.
