The Philadelphia City Council just passed a law that guarantees all Philadelphians paid sick days off from work. This important law will make sure that no one has to come into work while they're sick or have a sick child at home. Now it's up to Mayor Michael Nutter to sign this bill into law. Send him a message now and urge him to sign the Earned Sick Days legislation into law now.

I am exhausted from staying up late nights unable to sleep wondering which possible ailment awaits my beautiful and precious 9 yr old daughter, myself and the countless other Nevada residents whose only fault is that we are being subjected to water that is fluoridated. Please end this senseless, irresponsible decision and make a step in the RIGHT direction by ending fluoridation of Nevada's water supply immediately!

Although I am not sure about laws regarding the release of infants from the hospital after childbirth I know that the lack of medical screenings for heart complications, like enlarged hearts, are few and far between and as a result my family has been profoundly affected. Two weeks ago my 6 week old niece, Sophia, passed away "unexpectedly" because she had an enlarged heart that went undetected during pregnancy and throughout follow-up medical exams. Her father, my brother, alerted the prenatal providers and hospital staff that he was born with heart problems, more specifically a hole in his heart. My brother survived the heart abnormality in the 80s but my niece Sophia wasn't as lucky. Even though there was a history of heart complications in my family the hospital staff did not run the necessary tests to monitor or even look at Sophia's heart. Sophia was not properly monitored while in the womb nor properly evaluated before leaving the hospital. Because of this my family and I will live the rest of our lives with a hole in our hearts because we won't have Sophia, our little Angel. Sophia deserved better. What enrages me the most about this is that when my sister gave birth to her daughter two years ago her doctors provided continuous assistance, support, and screenings during her pregnancy and after the baby was born because of our family history. There shouldn't be different levels of care for pregnant mothers and newborns. It's time for the state of California to hold hospitals accountable for "unexplained" infant deaths and to start to require hospitals to do the necessary tests to screen infants for heart problems early on. Don't allow any more parents to lose their children because of undetected heart problems like Sophia's. A heart problem didn't take our Angel, lack of medical tests and screenings may have. The state of California has to protect the rights of every citizen no matter how young they may be. Thousands of infant deaths occur each year, not to mention the amount of sudden deaths among youth and adults with similar heart conditions. It is time for hospitals to be held accountable for their screening practices. Tell California legislators to do something about "unexpected" child deaths now.

My petition is about repealing Medicare Part D, so that we can have the VA administer Drug Costs in the United States and not the Drug Companies. If we had a medicare part E, Medicare would be able to cover all residents of the United States, including the people working part-time, full-time, self-employed, disabled, retired, and the business, owners. Repealing Medicare Part D would also save the United States money for medicare to start a medicare part E and save all the states money.

My petition is about expanding Medicare in Illinois from what it is now to Single Payer Healthcare. I think and believe that this state would benefit from single payer healthcare and help with some of the issues with Medicare and Social Security. It would make it where everyone in this state would be able to get Medicare for All. It would save the taxpayers of IL money and we would get better health care.

I have been billed $20,000.00 per night at a hospital for their facilities charge. That does not include the anesthesia or the surgery. In his recent Time article, Steven Brill explains the reasons for the exorbitant bills. About 60% of personal bankruptcies are due to health care cost. The price gouging is not only unfair but immoral.

Governor Scott Walker turned down $12 billion in federal aid over the next decade which will result in denying 200,000 plus, essential healthcare and could have created over 10,000 jobs in the healthcare sector.

Everyone in California should be concerned about the direction Health Care is heading. BCBS has a stronghold on this state and dictates the rates and services offered.

My son is in a mental hospital. The meals are often prepared from prepackaged, and processed foods. These foods have added salt, sugar, and preservatives. To prevent these patients from developing heart disease, diabetes, and chronic hypertension, they should be provided a menu with a selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.

I have been disabled and sick for the last 3 years and the insurance companies are changing the amount of coverage and increase all deductibles.

The doctors dont give you a chance ,inmedietly they put the bill with collections companies and my credit rating has been afected dramatically.

Give us Medicare coverage for ALL!

Governor Rick Perry millions of under-privileged poor Texans who do not have any Health Coverage will be covered under The Affordable Care ACT expansion of MEDICAID! My Physician wife Dr. Jyoti Jain's practice is wholly dependent on MEDICAID and its viability. Please allow the expansion of MEDICAID to occur in Texas under The Affordable Care ACT.
