• California: Donate Life Paid Leave of Absence
    I'm Kidney Failure Patient 100% dependent on Dialysis. I'm looking for a Living Donor to Donate a Kidney to me. I haven't found one person willing to be tested. There's not enough awareness about being a Living Organ Donor. The Donor will need at lease 6 weeks off work after the surgery. In these days most people can't afford to be without pay for 6 weeks. So we have people like myself waiting on a List, or die waiting on a List for our number to come up.

  • Lack of Care - US Military Retirees
    US Military Retired and Veterans, living in the Philippines, are not receiving the care required by law. Under the TRICARE system, administered by ISOS and Global24, contractors of the Tricare Management Activity, military retirees are being overcharged double and more the local rate for all other persons with the encouragement of ISOS and Global24. Disabled US Veterans are NOT being provided required care, as stated by law, even though the Veterans Administration maintains a clinic there.

  • waiting on Social Security Insurance
    Having to wait on benefits for Medical Insurance 25 months before insurance is granted for people who are on disability . we should be concerned because many can not afford insurance and can not go to all treatments needed. I am personally affected by this issue . and several other people I know. Pre exising condition insurance very high . some I am sure die . and if we can get treatment sooner some people may be able to go back to work and save a lot of Government money in the long run. waiting to long for the treatments can be very risky to many ! Thank You and God Bless America .

  • Support Single-payer Healthcare
    Our healthcare costs are increasing at an alarming rate, threatening the solvency of our country, because we don't regulate them like most countries. Healthcare doesn't need to be a profit-center for private corporations. We also need to provide healthcare coverage to the millions of Americans who lack it. Not only is it the humane thing to do, it's economical.

  • Water birth at Mountain View Hospital in Idaho Falls, ID
    Women who give birth at Mountain View Hospital in Idaho Falls, ID should have the option of Water Birth. The hospital's policy is that women are welcome to labor in the tubs provided, but are to leave before or when pushing begins. This cannot be forced upon you, but if you want to give birth in the water, which has many benefits and a great safety record, this should be welcomed with trained staff alongside you. It is a very safe option for pain management and comfort during labor as well as a gentle beginning for baby. Many women would labor longer without medication if this was an option which could shorten the time of side effects and risks of those medications. It will allow the opportunity for amazing birth experiences for those who choose to birth this way. I have not seen evidence of a written policy and would like one to be implemented.

  • Class Action Law Suit
    We the citizens have a right to the health care that the Federal government has made available to us. It is unconstituntional for the Governor of this state of Tennessee to deny health care to the thousands of citizens that need this care. We are one of the poorest states with many working citizens who have no health care.

  • END THE 30-HOUR WORK WEEK
    Obama Care has caused a devastating pay-cut to millions of part-time workers in the U.S. "According to the new health-care legislation, all businesses must pay FULL TIME HEALTH CARE to all employees who work 30 hours or more in a seven-day week."1 Normally, we were permitted to work up to 30 hours plus Sunday (Sunday was not counted as part of our work week). Personally, I work six days a week (including Sundays) and receive a weekly pay-check of or about 200 dollars and, as such, already live in poverty.This current legislation will force me and my co-workers to seek previously unsought public assistance, which should be distributed to those who are truly unable to work. This legislation is preventing millions of willing, able-bodied employees from working more than 30 hours per week. Most companies have cut each part-time employee to 28 hours or less per seven-day week, to avoid any fines. Sundays must not be included in our 30-hour work week limit. 1(http://www.local338.org/)

  • Increase Research and Development for Cancer in Children
    My daughter was diagnosed with Willms' tumor in August 2011. Besides spending money on munitions, armament, and homeland security, Congress and the president should help our children and spend more on research to cure this illness that is killing our future and making money for hospitals and pharmaceuticals.

  • Tell Governor Rick Scott to VETO HB 655
    VETO HB 655. Right now, Florida's hardworking families cannot afford to get sick because more than a million have been denied access to health care coverage and none of them will have Earned Sick Time protections. This could have serious impacts on Florida's service-driven economy, not to mention the health and well-being of our families. But you can change this and protect Florida's families by vetoing HB 655.
