  • Accept the federal funds to expand Medicaid in Tennessee
    I am a Tennessee Registered Nurse, I have personally seen the sadness in the eyes of people that have not been able to meet their most basic healthcare needs and have had to go without necessary Doctors' appointments, medications, tests, and surgeries needed. My own son had an emergency surgery Feb. 25th and had to be at two hospitals. He works full time but cannot afford insurance and paying his basic bills on his minimum wage job as many Tennessee people cannot. "Accepting the Federal Funds to Expand Medicaid" will help the working poor. These are the people we know and love in our families and communities. Asking Governor Haslam and Tennessee legislators to support the expansion of Medicaid in Tennessee, by accepting the Federal Funds will benefit hundreds of thousands of the Tennessee people.Healthy people benefit us all in our society.

  • Please, re-open these mental health facilities
    The reason a lot of this violence is occurring at an alarming rate is because the government cut funding for these facilities. Please take the time to revisit and bring these facilities back.

  • Say YES to Medical Marijuana
    My husband and I were recently working on our Health Care Directives and began thinking about how wonderful it would be if our state allowed doctor-supervised use of marijuana to ease the suffering of people in the final stages of their lives.

  • Take the Fluoride poison out of my water
    The anti - fluoridation group "Fluoride Action Network" has been translating scientific studies done abroad to find out if there is a pattern of neurotoxicity caused by fluoride. There have been only two studies done in the USA on the effect of fluoride on I.Q. scores, not enough to establish a pattern. FAN has now found thirty six non-USA studies in humans that demonstrate that moderately high fluoride exposures reduce I.Q. scores; further, the studies show the effect to be dose related - the greater/longer the exposure to fluoride, the more I.Q. points lost. There is increasing evidence that exposure to fluoride causes thyroid disease, and since it damages the thyroid and pituitary at the same time, the damage does not show up on the standard thyroid test for TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Fluoride has also been linked to being the cause of autoimmune disease, as it forcibly displaces iodine in the body and takes the place of that iodine, causing structural changes that confuse the immune system and render that molecule subject to attack by antibodies, which then also attack healthy unaltered molecules, resulting in many autoimmune diseases. Pro-fluoride forces are also suppressing information showing a link between fluoride and cancer. Cancer incidence was much lower in the fifties, under 1%, than the greater than 50% rates we suffer today. Water fluoridation was introduced in the meantime, and iodine in baked goods was replaced with bromine. The amount of iodine added to iodized salt has been precipitously reduced over the years, and remains poorly bio-available. Since fluoride leaches iodine from the body, and iodine is essential for the process of cell "suicide" or apoptosis that is thought to be the main way the body eliminates cancerous cells before a tumor is manifested, it makes sense that fluoride has a role in promotion of cancer, and many studies show evidence that supports and suggests this. The damaging effects of fluoride on the human body are well known and too many to enumerate here. Please remove fluoride from Indiana public water supplies by law/statute.

  • Lowering Health Care Costs
    The question shouldn't be who is going to pay for it, the question should be WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH ? As one of the uninsured who pays their medical bills directly, I want fair prices, regardless of who is paying the bill.

  • Save Nursing Home Resident Rights
    As a former Ombudsman for Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties and as a physician involved in long-term care, I am deeply concerned about legislation that is in committee in the State House to further weaken Nursing Home residents and their families rights to be adequately compensated for injuries caused by neglect by limiting corporate accountability.

  • Bring Back Healthy Families
    Several women that I know, who make enough to stay off welfare, but not enough to afford health care for their kids, were able to provide this care through the Health Families program. This program has now been discontinued in the California budget. As a taxpayer, I am happy to pay for a program like this that is both morally appropriate and economically efficient.

  • independent adults with disabilities
    My younger cousin has autism and when i look at her i wonder how independent she will be when she's older. So when it was time for me to create a product for the senior graduation project i thought of the idea to work with Charlotte Housing Authorities to create a housing system that is made for autistic adults and adults with other mental/ physical disabilities so that they could move out of their parents and feel like they can do everything that other adults could do.
