• Implement the Affordable Care Act
    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.

  • Governor Perry: Allow the Medicaid expansion to go forward in the state of Texas
    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.

  • Governor Corbett: Accept Federal Medicaid Funds
    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.

  • MaineCare for College Students
    This petition is about college students loosing their MaineCare when they have limited sources of income as they are trying to benefit their lives. It is tough to know that I am 20 years old and almost to the age where I will get dropped from my insurance. The fact that they are dropping the age to 19 is making it even tougher on college students. Think before changing the age of MaineCare. Please, college is expensive enough without having to pay for school insurance which has its limitations.

  • Retinstate $15 billion to CA Health and Human Services
    In the past 3 years the state of CA has cut $15 billion in services to the most vulnerable low income disabled and elderly. Cuts to programs such as In Home Support Services for the home bound and disabled and Medi-Cal (Medicaid in CA), have brought devastating results. I suffer from non-HIV AIDS and have lost long time good care caregivers as a result of the cuts. Because of this loss I contracted a severe skin parasite as I had to turn to an unqualified volunteer to help me who was not conscientious about telling me if he had anything contagious wrong with him. Also due to the privatization of MediCal into managed care I no longer have a doctor as the managed care company does not allow home visits as I am completely home bound.

  • UCLA, stop robbing your patients
    UCLA Medical Center is charging patients a $150 "hospital facility fee" for every regular visit to their doctor's office. I have several health issues and see 3 specialists on a regular basis at UCLA and have thousands of dollars in fees I cannot afford to pay. With more than 200 doctors only seeing a mere 10 patients a week, UCLA is making $300,000 per week at a bare minimum from this fee alone.

  • High Copays
    The New York Physical Therapy Association (NYPTA) is calling on the state legislature to stop insurance companies from requiring patients to pay the higher “specialist" copay for physical therapy services. Some patients are paying as much as $50 per visit while their insurance may only pay $10, or even nothing at all. High “specialist” copays put physical therapy out of the financial reach of many patients, forcing them to forgo needed care or choose alternative options that drive up the cost of health care for everyone.
