Accepting Federal money for Medicaid expansion in Alabama will benefit everyone. It will bring billions of dollars into our economy, create thousands of jobs, save money for employers, support our health institutions, and produce a net savings in the state's budget. More importantly, it will save lives. Please vote to allow Medicaid expansion to move forward in the State of Alabama!

DHHS has had two federal advisory committees make recommendations on testing anthrax vaccine and other medical countermeasures in children, since 2011. The immediate goal is to expand the vaccine license to include children, and to increase the civilian vaccine stockpile. The vaccine might be used routinely in children, in future. However, antibiotics are the effective treatment of choice in an anthrax attack. Antiserum and monoclonal antibodies could be used in the event of antibiotic resistance. Vaccine, of unknown effectiveness, would only start to be useful 40 days after immunizations were begun. Why the government has spent billions on a large anthrax vaccine stockpile makes no sense. The US anthrax letters were determined (by the FBI) to come from the supply of a US army scientist. The US has never been attacked by a foreign enemy with anthrax. There is no credible evidence of an anthrax threat to US children. For these reasons, plus the existence of federal statutes and case law that prohibit testing dangerous products in children, who cannot give informed consent, this pediatric trial should not even have been considered. But DHHS has ignored these prohibitions and wishes to proceed with a pediatric trial regardless. Please read the Alliance for Human Research Protection (AHRP)'s report to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, which is advising Secretary Sibelius on this anthrax vaccine experiment, at http://www.ahrp.org/cms/images/stories/articles/children_anthraxvaccine_moral_cliff_final_2-28.pdf Please sign our petition and help get the word out! WHOSE children will be selected for this dangerous anthrax vaccine experiment, and for future "countermeasures" experiments? Meryl Nass, MD, Board Member, AHRP Vera Sharav, President, AHRP

Since 1990, MY Wife has been trying to recover from NERO-Surgery! She was on Medicaid, at one time, until MEDICARE became primary INS., when it caused her Medicaid to become inactive! This has also caused HER to have several setbacks, and now being left BEDFAST, here at HOME again! What good are laws, if we cannot get them enforced? For more details, Email me: [email protected] Thanks P.S. Nursing houses have not helped her either; instead they tried to get me to leave HER there, so after 100 days, they can start taking HER Disability check!

The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), have filed a petition with the FDA to alter the definition of "milk". They are seeking to change the definition such that it will include potentially dangerous chemical sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose, without the need to list such ingredients on the label. This means that if the petition is approved, when a company lists "milk" on the label, it will automatically include chemical sweeteners such as aspartame or sucralose without being specifically listed. Accordingly, if you are among the millions of Americans who choose to avoid such chemical sweeteners because they are potentially dangerous to your health, then you may be unable to do so because they will not be listed on milk labels. -- Paul A. Lauto, Esq.

Gov Bentley, why won't you take federal dollars to implement the Affordable Health Care Act in Alabama? As a retired Air Force nurse I know what a community receiving preventative health care looks like because in the military everyone has government subsidized health care.

Texas has the highest proportion of the population living at or below the minimum wage in the nation. The expansion will help Texan's receive the care that they NEED, at lower cost, and without raising taxes on Texan's. We demand Governor Perry allow the expansion to go through as Republican Governor Chris Christie recently allowed in New Jersey.

Over the last few months, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett has indicated that he has no intention of accepting new federal dollars to expand the state's Medicaid program. If he rejects these funds, over 542,000 Pennsylvanians will be uninsured. In recent months, Republican governors across the country have been changing their minds and accepting Medicaid dollars. Corbett has no excuse now and is doing nothing more than hurting those most in need in Pennsylvania. Tell Governor Corbett to accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the over 542,000 Pennsylvanians that would benefit.

Having free health care because it isn't right to have people being denied health care when they are sick. People die everyday because of being denied health care and I would like to change that.

To cut off Medicaid benefits will increase economic problems for many including the general government creating poverty were there is still some source of tight stability.

My State Senator, Melanie Sojourner, asked for feedback on this issue. After discussing this subject on her facebook page, I have decided MoveOn needs to MoveOn to Mississippi.

Most other states have signed on to Obama Care to help the people of their State and Idaho needs the help of Obama Health care in our state.
