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.

I lost a dear friend to an overdose of Oxycontin . This drug was prescribed to him by his dentist after a tooth extraction. Zohydro is a much stronger version of Oxycontin. With the addictive quality of this drug and its supper strength, the death rate due to prescription drug overdose will increase.

THIS ILLNESS HAS HAD A LABEL ON IT SINCE I FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS and how people viewed a person who is (crazy, insane) but can be helped by medication and counseling. Taboo, is the forbidden to exist or a dark secret. It's affection on the American Black People is gong unnoticed and un treated which is doomed by shame. Voices have to be heard and loudly to make others listen to the hearts of our people who struggle daily just "to be normal". Hope this opens the eyes of many and involves more than a few.

We the people, of the state of Tennessee, believe regulation, concerning marijuana for medical purposes, shall be available to all qualifying patients with a debilitating medical condition and that the enactment of the Patient's Choice Act of 2014, should establish laws, governing the act and a secure and confidential patient registry to fulfill such law.

Healthcare needs more provider options to lower cost and increase access. Pharmacist can be a positive disruptive force in lowering cost and increasing access now.
