I live among many homeless in downtown Seattle-poets, artists, vets, and those less known. Many are friends. ER is a rescue for them but at a terrible cost to their continued health and to the economy. They are not "the poor" or any other "category". There are us!

Republicans are falling over themselves to get to a microphone or TV camera to fuss in false overconcern for the 4-5 million citizens whose substandard insurance policies are being cancelled. Cancellation of policies has always been central to the market nature of the insurance business. These citizens can obtain another policy As an emergency physician I am face to face everyday with many of the 50 million of Americans until now locked out of insurance and good healthcare. While nowhere as good as single payer, the PPACA does protect many patients. We must thus protect the PPACA.

This is for my Nephew who attemted Suicide and no one would attempt to help a child in need of help, so many others suffer with a mental disabilty and no help or enough beds to support them and the help they require.

My family's personal negative impact of companies fear of the Obama Care and its' impact on health insurance premiums. Many may benefit, but we may lose everything!

It is the American thing to do. We shouldn't let selfishness and politics get in the way.

This petition is regarding adequate medical care and basic human kindness of veterans from the D.C. Veterans Administration Medical Center. I am a veteran whose care has been both disregarded and disrespected. There are many others afraid to come forward but I will take however many hits for the team to bring awareness and change. I have had to date, over 20 brain aneurysms, some bleeding, numerous brain surgeries, clips, clamps, and both sides of my brain vessels reinforced. I suffer from complicated migraines, seizures, diabetes, PTSD and depression. The Neurologists at the DCVAMC have missed EVERY aneurysm. They've all been found by emergency care of nearby hospitals, regardless to my pleads for help. I now have an inoperable brain aneurysm, as well as additional pain, and they are refusing to give actual medications needed to alleviate my pain. I have a bad liver. They prefer to increase the meds I'm already on (which don't work# and cause my liver to work additionally hard rather than alleviate my excruciating pain. I'm denied access to the Director of the hospital because he has "open dates" to walk-in but I live two hours away and during most of the dates I'm hospitalized. Patient advocate has been virtually kicked out of the neurology clinic trying to help me. I was also discharged for a short time from the Neurology Clinic three days after a brain procedure at Walter Reed. The clinicians tried to cover it up, but the same info. was given to said Advocate. I've been discharged from the pain clinic due to failure to complete it. I didn't complete it due to hospitalizations. I've been black balled basically from the DCVAMC and can no longer listen to the many veterans speak of atrocities #medical# toward them. I can also no longer suffer more so than not writhing in pain and these people try to sweep me under the rug. Writing this petition will sure enough, hinder my care even further. I know the stress of it all has awakened every iniquity within my very spirit. I've even had to contact the Vet Hotline to retain sanity. I can't do this alone. Will you help. I could be you or any member of your family. We must make them accountable for their actions towards every veteran mistreated. We must also make President Obama, Congress, Regional Officers of Veteran's Administration, and any family member aware of this sublevel medical treatment and lack of basic human kindness.

The parent should have the right to sender autistic child to the best school for them, and not have to fight the district to get them out just because they want the money from the state they get for each special needs child a year($100,000.00)

I would like to see every America have the option of affordable and quality health care. I believe that when fully implemented costs will drop and people will begin to realize the benefits of the Affordable Care Act.

Many members of my family and many of my friend's family members can not afford basic medical insurance plans. Texas' elected officials, especially governor Rick Perry and SenatorTed Cruz are denying over a million Texans (more individuals than any other State in the country) access to basic health care by refusing to accept Federal funds to expand Medicaid coverage for Texas. The health and welfare of their constituents should be a top priority; not their celebrity status with the extreme right wing of the Republican Party. I urge them to implement the Medicaid expansion immediately.

The Affordable Care Act is a good thing....it supports the 48 million people who can't afford or have been blocked out of health insurance. The 4 million insured who could potentially lose their current policy have the option to get another, more robust plan.

Obamacare - we need to speed up its implementation.

Very dear friends have found affordable health insurance through the Marketplace. They were "uninsurable" before. Now they are covered in spite of pre-existing conditions. It has taken a huge worry off their shoulders--the fear of losing everything they have to pay medical costs. I will gladly pay more for my health insurance premiums if it means affordable care is available to everyone. That's a "no-brainer!"
