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. Every year since i got sick I NOTICE THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY LESS AND LESS .This have afected me because all of the bills that they dont want to pay ,i am responsible. 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.

62 million Americans suffer from "essential" or "primary" hypertension - which NIH offers "has no known etiology". This costs Americans ~$80B/year on medication and related medical costs. The number of Americans affected is growing rapidly as the baby boomer population moves into maturity. The fact is that sub-optimal breathing, breathing with insufficient depth, is the fundamental cause of essential hypertension. Anyone suffering from hypertension can test this by checking their blood pressure before and after a period of relatively slow deep breathing. The silence by NIH and the American Heart Association amounts to lying by omission, the only plausible explanation being to benefit the medical-industrial complex - specifically big pharma who nets many 10s of billions of dollars every year from the unsuspecting. Americans fund the NIH through our taxes, however their policies aim to benefit the industrial establishment vs. American citizens. Please stand with me to demand that the NIH end their silence regarding sub-optimal breathing and high blood pressure. Thank you.

The lack of long-term psychiatric facilities for the seriously mentally ill needs to be addressed, and the need for excellent long-term and permanent psychiatric care should be a priority in congress NOW.

Please do not give up on our children in Special Education; they are not a lost cause! Students with Special Needs are being targeted and DISCRIMINATED against as you try and balance your state budget on their backs. The success my daughter, and many other students, have in school is because of these regulations which afford them the opportunity to succeed. I know many students that have graduated High School with the help of an IEP and have gone on to college and are on track to be independent, productive members of society. By striking down the regulations; you will be discriminating against my daughter and telling the students with special needs, in the state of New York, that you do not believe in them.
