• Military Pharmacies should accept electronic prescriptions
    I am a physician and a veteran. Electronic prescriptions are a great improvement in the care of my patients. There are no mistakes due to handwriting and the prescription is usually ready by the time the patient reaches the pharmacy. Because the prescription is already in electronic form, it is easier for the pharmacy and reduces mistakes by pharmacy staff. Our veterans deserve all the care we can give. Military pharmacies should accept electronic prescriptions.

  • Massachusetts Health Option - House Bill 1898
    The Mehlmaur Bill - House Bill 1898 for Massachusetts - Now on Facebook @ Massachusetts Health Option, is unique; it will enable a person seeking holistic/naturopathic treatment to be covered comprehensively by health insurance. In New Hampshire a similar law was passed providing coverage for naturopathic treatment; however the patient has to pay a significant amount of out-of-pocket expenses for the prescribed treatments. What we would like to see in Massachusetts is more practical coverage. We say practical because only covering a portion of the naturopathic/holistic practitioners visit is just a first step towards proper treatment. These natural solutions have significant healing aspects and there is enough food science to support these claims. By only covering a portion of the office visit a patient is left facing the cost of their portion of the visit, their “health insurance” premiums, and the treatment prescribed which often requires supplements, organic fruits and vegetables, and “superfoods”. Since currently none of the natural treatments are covered by insurance, a patient faces the full cost of these therapies. An insurance company will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and other toxic therapies which only treat symptoms. Natural/holistic treatments heal the root cause, teach patients to care for their bodies, and create an overall lifestyle change which promotes the health of a patient for life thereby reducing the need for medicine, surgeries, and the typically “accepted” course of aging in America. The Mehlmauer Bill will give people a choice; a choice which is currently not available to those with a limited income. We believe Massachusetts should be the leader and set the example for an overhaul of the traditional treatment options available in our “modern” medical system. Instead of seeing healthcare as surgery, drugs, and procedures, let’s offer an alternative. We believe that the healing process starts with a choice. This bill will enable the patient to have more options, to have more control, to truly have choices in their medical care, their treatment plans, their healthcare options. Since we’ve been petitioning, an overwhelming majority of people have said they support this concept and love that it would give them a choice. Help us help our state; let us give the people an alternative view on medicine, on healthcare, on the healing process all together. Let’s give them a choice.

  • Governor Parnell: Please Expand Medicaid
    My son has a disease called Cystic Fibrosis. There is no cure but there are life extending treatments. Many of these are out of his reach because health insurance that would cover them is too expensive. He is one of the 40,000 working low income Alaskans who need the ACA Medicaid expansion so that they can access health care. The Alaskan economy depends on these hard working people in industries including fishing, tourism, retail and food service. All Alaskans, regardless of income, deserve equal access to health care without incurring back breaking debt or being a burden to the community. Health care is a right, not a privilege.

  • Michigan Attorney Bill Schuette Won’t Listen
    We need to make our voices heard by Attorney General Schuette and to get some action for the hundreds of victims and family members of victims that have been hurt and killed by Doctor Farid Fata. To date Bill Schuette has responded with nothing but boiler plate responses that don’t address what the issues really are. Bill Schuette is not a victims rights advocate as his political propaganda advertises him to be. We need Bill Schuette to step up to the plate and do the job that he was hired to do!

  • Hold Judge Judy accountable for the remarks that she made about lupus on "The Kelly File" on Fox ...
    I suffer from lupus and I know many others who have lupus as well. Lupus is very difficult to manage due to it's unpredictable nature and it can progress rather quickly. Lupus is incurable and it can result in multiple organ failure. It is often accompanied by other diseases and it is all too often fatal. Lupus kills. Lupus cripples. Lupus robs those who have it of a "normal life". Lupus doesn't just affect those who have it. It hurts our families, too. Lupus is a devastating disease. Progress in treating lupus has been a slow process and there is still much to learn about the disease. Judge Judy's dismissive and flippant remarks were not only insensitive and ill-informed but also very unproductive and discriminatory. She made comments that compared lupus to other unrelated illnesses and she made comments about her daughter in law being able to work even though she has lupus. Her comments do not reflect the reality that so many people with lupus experience and reflects her lack of knowledge about the disease. It's for those reasons that I believe that she should publicly apologize for her remarks with regard to lupus.

  • TOXIC MOLD! I Want to Know if Extrinsic Fraud is Fleecing the U.S. Public
    If the evidence exists that fleecing the U.S. public over TOXIC MOLD is not occurring then the leaders of the California courts need to produce the evidence to prove it. This petition is very important to every U.S. citizen. Mrs. Sharon Noonan Kramer has been a leading advocate for those seriously injured by exposure to molds and other contaminants that are often found in water damaged buildings. In 2006, the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy ordered a Federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit of the health effects of mold at her urging. In 2007, investigation of who has conflicts of interest when setting standards over the issue, was deleted by Senate HELP from the scope of the GAO audit . Specifically deleted from the audit scope: “What medical and scientific standards are used in determining the admissibility of evidence of both acute and persistent health consequences resulting from exposure to mold? Which individuals and organizations have promulgated these standards and what, if any, conflicts of interest exist regarding these standards?” Mrs. Kramer contends that the deletion of investigating for conflicts of interest from federal audit, in conjunction with falsified court documents in a California SLAPP suit (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation) against her, have aided and abetted the continued fleecing of the public over TOXIC MOLD. According to Mrs. Kramer, the public is being fleeced by the use of scientific fraud in U.S. public health policies that was penned by the federal contractors, Veritox, Inc. They are expert defense witnesses for the U.S. Department of Justice in mold cases. She says, “Like many families across the U.S., the scientific fraud has been used to deny liability for causing illness in our troops’ families when they live in moldy military housing. Disturbingly, when military families are involved, it is the federal government and their contracted housing managers, who are relying upon the scientific fraud to deny their responsibility.” According to Mrs. Kramer, when people are disabled by TOXIC MOLD, the scientific fraud is used to claim their illnesses “Could not be” caused by TOXIC MOLD. This is for aiding those responsible, to shift their costs of taking care of the disabled off of themselves and onto Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Mrs. Kramer states that “The taxpayer gets stuck with the tab for the causation and care of the environmentally disabled by the use of scientific fraud in U.S. public health policy and U.S. courts. The term for it is ‘cost shifting”. In 2005, Mrs. Kramer published an Internet writing of how the scientific fraud became policy as she named those involved in mass marketing it. Federal contractors, Veritox, and the company’s president, Bruce Kelman, sued Mrs. Kramer for libel for five words in the writing, “altered his under oath statements”. It would appear that the California courts aided Veritox and Mr. Kelman to frame Mrs. Kramer for libel for those five words to cast doubt on all her words, which exposed the mass marketing of scientific fraud; and while aiding and abetting it to continue. In a second case, Mr. Kelman, his attorney and officers of the California courts, tried to stop Sharon from writing of what occurred in the first case, which aided Veritox’s scientific fraud to continue in policies and courts to the detriment of the public. In 2012, a San Diego judge - whose court had no subject matter jurisdiction because of the falsified court documents in the first case being used as the foundation to the second - ordered that Mrs. Kramer be jailed for refusing to be coerced to sign a false confession of being guilty of libel for a sentence not even in her 2005 writing. Her coerced, perjured, signature would have concealed the massive fleecing of the public over TOXIC MOLD by aid of employees of the California Judicial Branch. Veritox’s harassment of Mrs. Kramer, with the aid of the California courts has been ongoing for over eight years. Numerous court officers and administrative employees of the courts appear to be involved. For the leaders of the California courts to prove Mrs. Kramer wrong about the California Judicial Branch’s role in fleecing the public over TOXIC MOLD; they only need to produce direct evidence that material court documents were not falsified by court employees. They will not do it, apparently because they cannot do it. Yet, they suppress the evidence that they cannot – while knowing that they are aiding the fleecing of the U.S. public over the TOXIC MOLD to continue by their usage, and concealment of their usage, of falsified court documents in SLAPP. It has cost Mrs. Kramer and her husband all they own for her refusal of silence of how extrinsic fraud is fleecing the public over TOXIC MOLD; while many are losing all they own, some are becoming permanently disabled, and the leaders of the California courts obfuscate from answering direct questions put to them. For the sake of future public safety and future protection of the right to speak the truth in America; leaders of the California courts need to be made to prove or disprove that they have not concealed the falsification of material court documents; and if they cannot disprove it, mitigate the damage for aiding to fleece the public over TOXIC MOLD. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!! Only the insistence of many Loud Voices will force the California court leaders to admit there is no refuting evidence to disprove Mrs. Kramer’s allegations of extrinsic fraud fleecing the public over TOXIC MOLD, aided to continue by officers of the California courts; and if they can prove otherwise, they need to do so. I read the following ODE. It is about the fleecing of the U.S. public over illnesses caused by TOXIC MOLD by the use of scientific fraud, academic fraud, fraud upon the court, and falsification of material court documents to aid Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation ...

  • Cancer treatment
    My Son has a rare form of cancer that only the best medical facilities in the country can help him. He can't work and is on Social Security Disability and only insurance that he can get is state run Medicaid. A Cancer Treatment Centers of America facility is less than 100 miles away around Chicago and he can't go there because of it being in Illinois and his Indiana Medicaid won't cover him going there. Is it fair that government red tape is more important than a human life? Please sign this petition and tell Washington that this is wrong. Thank you.

  • Get NFL observe prostate cancer awareness
    While it is commendable that the NFL promotes Breast Cancer Awareness by allowing players to wear pink, it is equally important to draw attention to Prostate Cancer Awareness. Just as many men die from Prostate Cancer as women die from breast cancer. Light blue is the color for Prostate Cancer and October is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. We call on the NFL to support Men's Health by starting a campaign to have teams wear light blue for the month of October.
