Governor Bentley: Accept Federal Medicaid Funds or Face Discipline as a Doctor Politician for obs...Hi, Last year, Governor Robert Julian Bentley MD announced that he would not accept new federal dollars to expand the state's Medicaid program. By rejecting these funds, over 300,000 Alabamians will be uninsured. Tell Governor Bentley to reverse course and accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the 300,000 Alabamians that would benefit or face being disciplined for obstructing health care to so many Alabamians. That's why I signed a petition to Governor Robert Julian Bentley MD, which says: "Over 16% of Alabama residents don't have health insurance, including many children. By rejecting Medicaid expansion funds from the federal government, you are obstructing over 300,000 Alabamians who would benefit from this healthcare. Please reverse course and accept the federal Medicaid dollars and help Alabamians in need of basic healthcare, and stand by your ethics as a Physician politician."3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Will Freman

Rep. Sam Johnson: Support immigration reform with a pathway to citizenshipABC News recently reported that Congressman Sam Johnson from Plano, Texas is working with a bipartisan group in Congress on an immigration reform proposal. This means Rep. Johnson will have a major role fixing our broken immigration system. We need Rep. Johnson to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers. Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense.235 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth

Expand Medicaid for TennesseansMedicaid expansion should be done in order to provide affordable healthcare coverage for those Tennesseans who will remain uninsured if Tennessee opts not to expand the program. The federal government will pay 90% of the cost and Tennessee will pay 10%. This saves the state money in healthcare cost.486 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Leatrice Burgess-Lester

Healthcare for South CarolinaThis petition is about making sure millions of people living in poverty-stricken South Carolina have actual access to affordable healthcare. Relying on emergency rooms and the like isn't nor has ever worked and it is a drain on the economy and the taxpayers involved in making that economy work. Well, No more - we need healthcare reform in South Carolina and sane people to realize that healthcare is an absolute right, not a business to be bartered around with! After seein Meidcaid get rejected in my state and realizing all the people who could've been helped, South Carolina is on the verge of being on the wrong side of history, yet again. Let's not make this mistake. We need to make this a serious issue, and that begins here.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by S-3 Burton

Health CareI am writing because I would like Oklahoma to accept the expansion of Medicaid because I have friends who desparately need healthcare and don't qualify for the insurance even though they are low income enough they need it I myself qualify because I'm disabled but I have friend who has been sick for 3 months and is having a hard time getting healthcare to find out what is wrong and I'm trying to help him but him and his wife are scared to do the tests but don't have a choice to find out what is wrong and help him get well. I don't want my friend to die so I'm trying to help them get to doctors appointments and I just went to the pharmacy for him and they wouldn't fill his prescriptions and he needs them to get the testing done. Please help me and others like me who need healthcare and please let the Medicaid expansion go through thank you very much.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charity Crosby

Medical Treatment for Battered WomenIn Tennesse, a battered woman must name her batter before reccieving medical care. I am an artist and anthropolgist that learned about the plight of battered women doing a course on battered women at the University of Tennesse at Chattanooga. I have followed this terrible action on women since that time. Bills introduced in the past have failed in the State House in TN. The government must realized that abused women personality change as they are abused, and they tend to fault themselves plus more women are killed by their abuser. Yes, an attempt was made by a person to abuse me, but I was strong enough to escape because I realized the consquences. Silverrene Roundtree2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Silverrene Roundtree
