Everyone in IN will be negatively affected by newly elected Republican Gov. Mike Pence putting conditions pushed by private insurance companies on accepting Medicaid, instead of bringing billions of dollars and thousands of jobs to Indiana. He needs to keep the interests of most people in Indiana at heart and keep them healthy..

Marijuana has been authorized for medical use in several other states because medical evidence shows that it helps cancer patients, glaucoma patients, and those suffering from chronic pain. Allow patients to use all the medical options available to them.

It is about time for change and this will certainly help so please sign

A person can be involuntarily committed to a mental institution without a professional present who could give his or her professional opinion as to the validity of such a decision. Yes, it happened to me personally, the after effect of which can be devastating for the person involved. There needs to be an advocate to help the person who has to endure such a commitment.

Governor Scott: Accept the Pres care for Medicaid and Medicare.

North Carolina narrowed its criteria for Medicaid eligibility in 2012 and its effects are demeaning to our senior citizens and mentally ill. As of January 1, my father, who is sick with dementia, no longer qualifies for Medicaid because although he is mentally ill, he is not physically ill enough because he can still do things like bathe himself, walk, and dress himself, and therefore will be denied coverage even though his doctors agree that he is unsafe to live on his own or without the structure and care provided by his assisted living facility. Therefore, it is up to my two young sisters and my fathers siblings - and roughly 12,000 families like mine across the state - to produce the monthly cost of his care, putting all of our financial futures in jeopardy. Please help me send a message to our state elected officials that it is intolerable to treat our senior citizens like this, and we need to create new legislation that reverses the effects of this change and addresses the gap people in this position will be faced with.

It was already too late when my friend, a UC Berkeley student Kenya Wheeler, found out that UC management caps our student health insurance coverage of lifesaving care. Now Kenya is having to fight off medical bankruptcy and collections agencies at the same time he is fighting to recover from brain cancer. But UC executives are trying to increase our health insurance fees by 25% instead of agreeing to meet Obamacare standards that would protect students like Kenya.

People with invisible illness such as Fibromyalgia, Lupus and many others should be able to obtain pain medication at any time with any Doctor. Iowa needs to be the first state to allow some humanity to those of us who suffer everyday in silence and fear of being pain managed beyond the current strict guidelines!

Did you know some Medical Centers, particularly university hospitals, charge uninsured or underinsured people 3, 5 or sometimes 10 times more than other health centers? Did you know these Medical Centers make it almost impossible for you to find out their prices before you accept to get services? You are being bullied. They assign you the doctor they want, they tell you what to do and where, and then they charge you what they want. what I am asking in this petition is not impossible: Ohio requires a hospital to make its price information list available free of charge on its web site to any person and post an announcement of the list's availability in each of the hospital's billing offices and admission, patient waiting, and reception areas. New Jersey caps hospital charges at no more than 15 percent above the Medicare payment rate for residents with a gross family income less than 500 percent of the federal poverty level.
