Licensed Professional Counselors and are being discriminated against. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists are also being discriminated against. Both professionals are reimbursed by most of if not every other insurance company EXCEPT MEDICARE & THE VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION. Both of these licensed and credentialed are the academic equals of Licensed Clinical Social Workers, who get reimbursement from these entities. Mental Health Services are greatly needed among Medicare recipients, as well as the countless veterans and their families, suffering from the emotional fallout of serving their country. Some day either you or a loved one may find themselves on Medicare and in need Mental Health or substance abuse services and being denied access to half the qualified professionals. Why? Because of politics as usual. Please call or write your congress person and house representIves. Insist they pass these bills. Thank you. ,

My father has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. I want to care for him at home, but can't afford to because caregiving is a 24/7 job in itself. Tell Congress that caregivers need a stipend to keep their parents out of nursing homes.

I'm a working class citizen like many others in NY state dealing with this dilemma that we are not poor enough for state healthcare programs and we are not rich enough for the health care that our employers offer. We as working class citizens aka the backbone of this country need healthcare!

Stop the legislated discrimination and death sentence for profit of those over 80 years of age in Florida. In a civilized society, this cannot stand.

Military retirees should be very concerned about the recent increase in Tricare Prime annual fees. We are hearing that there is a planned 700% increase in the annual fee cost coming in the next few years, pricing retirees and their families out of the system, for the sole effort of forcing retired members onto OBAMACARE.

The Health care crisis in the USA. Hospitals charge master prices. Stop this criminal practice.

In favor. I can't get any type of medical assistance. I can't afford insurance and have been rejected for medicaid because I'm neither pregnant or disabled. I have medical issues that I need taken care of and can't afford to do so since I have been unemployed for almost two years.

My family and myself do not have health insurance, as million of Americans today.

Sacramento cut $1 billion from our state's healthcare system and the much-needed Medi-Cal program. Without this funding, millions of Californians will lose access to quality healthcare, and tens of thousands of healthcare workers (like me) could lose their jobs. These cuts will go into effect -- unless we act now!

My name is Leah Segedie and I’m a mother of three young boys. My youngest – just 11 months – is severely allergic to the top 8 food allergens: tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, seafood & shellfish. He is also allergic to all pet dander. When exposed to these things, Steven develops severe eczema that burns, oozes, and sometimes bleeds. He itches like crazy and cries for me to scratch it. This lasts for days at a time. At 9 months, I could no longer breastfeed Steven because my own milk was causing these severe skin reactions. The food I was eating was passing through to my breast milk and he was allergic. My motherly instinct to nourish my son the best way I knew how was actually hurting him. Steven is an example of an extreme case, but allergies among children are becoming an epidemic. In fact, since the mid 1990s allergies among children are up over 400%. When I was a kid, I don’t even remember anyone being allergic to food, but today, it’s about one in eight children. What is going on? One thing that is dramatically different is our food. The US government has allowed genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into our food supply WITHOUT a label since the mid 1990s. Today GMOs can be found in more than its 85% of grocery store items. Including infant formula. This is a major problem. Steven could not drink my milk, nor could I give him the nation’s leading infant formula – Similac – because it contained GM ingredients, and with it, the agrochemicals that GM crops are increasingly exposed to. Trace amounts of these chemicals are showing up in breast milk and infant formula. I’ve learned from experience that it’s extremely difficult to protect our children from GMOs – whether breastfeeding or using formula – and that major corporations like Abbott Laboratories (maker of Similac) are making this so by using GM ingredients. While the long-term health impacts of GMOs are still being debated, the negative impacts of our increasing exposure to the agrochemicals used in GMO farming are not. And when it comes to babies, the most vulnerable, we must exercise precaution. From a mom who had no choice but to turn to formula – and who was horrified by her options – I am calling on Abbott Laboratories to be a leader and remove all genetically modified ingredients from their formulas. This is not debatable if we want to protect babies. Join with me in calling on Abbott to remove the GMOs from Similac. And please share this with your friends. Together we can all make a difference. Let’s protect our children because they ARE the future.
