  • Stop Unethical Medical Experiments on Premature Babies
    Between 2005 and 2009 — at 23 hospitals throughout the country run by prominent universities including Yale, Stanford, Brown and Duke — 1,316 premature infants were the subjects of a government-funded clinical trial where some received more oxygen than others. The parents of these helpless research subjects were never informed that some newborns would be at increased risk of blindness, lung injury, brain damage or even death. Add your name to our petition demanding that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius take immediate steps to address this grievous ethical breakdown.

  • Military dependents & Spouses should keep insurance
    Many military dependents and spouses (both men and women) get shafted through military health insurance if they get divorced or seperate from their spouse. I've seen too many end up on their own not being able to keep up on their medical care because of lack of insurance. I've had enough patients (men & women) not wanting to leave an abusive relationship to their military spouse because of the insurance.

  • End Mandatory Mail Order Prescriptions
    Mandatory mail order prescriptions can (and has) led to the dangerous compromise of people's health, well being, and peace of mind. Lost deliveries, untimely deliveries, and compromised medications are the all too frequent result of citizens being forced to receive essential prescriptions from mail order (often from great distances). Local pharmacies are suffering as well from revenue lost to out of state mail order. Please act now to restore our right to choose our own pharmacies. I have been a victim of this injustice.

  • Senior Health Care: Medicare Benefits
    As an older adult, I am very concerned about the future of my health care benefits under Medicare assignment. Many senior citizens who have chronic issues will find themselves without professional assistance. In addition, the "Golden Years" can be tarnished with health issues that need professional guidance. Recently in our local newspaper, a surgeon wrote regarding this issue as it relates to him/her making wise choices in continuing his professional services to those most vunerable.
