Since the Federal Government will pay 100% of the SC Medicaid expansion for two years with tax dollars we have paid as citizens, and 90% thereafter, it is fiscally irresponsible for SC not to expand Medicaid. The decision not to expand Medicaid is fiscally irresponsible, and leaves thousands of South Carolinians without healthcare coverage.

This is in support of keeping the Healthy Start Program within the Florida Department of Health Okaloosa County. The loss of the Program within the Florida Department of Health Okaloosa County will have an adverse effect on the community.It would be most beneficial for the clients served by the Healthy Start Programs to have access to wraparound services in a central location.

I took my 1 year old daughter (who is walking, exploring, putting everything in her mouth) to the East Asheville Playground and there were City of Asheville employees there spraying ROUND UP everywhere. I mean everywhere: all over the mulch (which she loves to play with and it often ends up in her mouth), all around the equipment, coating the entire place. I took my daughter and left -[with a headache and tightness in my lungs] - enraged that this would be allowed. Please help me to urge the city to find other [non-toxic] ways to maintain and keep up our parks and playgrounds!

We must end the use of "reference man," a 150 lb. adult, white male, of western-European descent and custom, that determines allowable levels of contaminant exposure to workers and populations adjacent to nuclear facilities, many of whom are Indigenous, land-based, and people of color. Women are twice as likely to get cancer from the same dose as a man, and infants three times as likely. Contaminants can also cross placental boundaries. Environmental exposure regulations and clean-up standards need to protect those most vulnerable to the toxins released by all contaminating industries, including nuclear facilities. When we protect those most vulnerable, we protect us all.

We need a law that requires schools to teach CPR to students. Millions can be saved from cardiac arrest, if more of the public knew CPR.

As Americans, we'll all be better off for having hardworking new immigrants as contributing members of our community. This is what America is all about.

After watching the documentary called "Weed": Dr. Sanjay Gupta Medical Documentary Reports, I can think of many family members who could benefit greatly from the medicinal use of marijuana to stop seizures, pain, help with glaucoma and other health issues.

Some of the benefits of the Affordable Care Act • 21.3 million more Americans will get healthcare coverage. • You can’t be denied coverage for preexisting conditions such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure or even cancer. And if you or a family member get sick or injured, insurance companies can’t cut off your coverage or cancel your plan. • Your kids are covered. If you have children, they can stay on your family health insurance plan until they turn 26. • No more dollar limits on your care. You can get the care you need, without having to worry about huge, unexpected medical bills. • Your coverage is protected. An unintentional mistake or minor omission on an application can no longer give your insurance company an excuse to cancel your coverage. More preventive care is covered • Medicare now covers a yearly wellness visit and preventive care at no cost to you. This includes cancer, cholesterol and diabetes screenings, immunizations, diet counseling and more. • Lower prescription drug costs for Medicare, and the “donut hole” will disappear entirely in 2020 • Every state will have a Health Insurance Marketplace where people looking for coverage can go online to shop for health insurance. • For the first time, there’s help available to pay for health coverage.
