• affordable health care for all
    I had an abdominal CT scan done recently, which took all of 15 minutes. I received a summary of the expense to my insurance and medicare of $4,457.30. I called my insurance to ask about this high price for a scan that only lasted 15 minutes and was told that it is at the discretion of health care institution for the charge. How can someone who has a high deductible or no insurance afford this? It disturbs me that health care is not affordable for all people.

  • Governor Branstad: Medicaid Pay for Assisted Living
    After a fall in her own home, my 95 year old mother spent two months in a nursing home before we discovered that assisted living options were open to her, providing a much more productive, cheerier atmosphere at a savings of over $1000 a month. However, when her money runs out she will be forced to move to more expensive care in a nursing home as Medicaid only pays for nursing home care.

  • Senators in Medicare same as American Seniors
    Yes! Some thing is very wrong when the employee have more health benefits than their employers. This make them not care what they cut from Medicare. I got charged for test to get eye glasses because told it was cut from Medicare by you know who? We the people should have equal rights. Middle income if we can not get our state Medicare or what ever supplement our states offer we have to pay out of our pockets. Each year Medicare offer less and we are paying more so the raise is wiped out.

  • Medical Cannabis Patient's Rights in Hawaii
    There must be safe and legal access to medicine (cannabis) for qualified medical patients. Please support patient's rights and create a brokerage and clearing house system which will offer this safe access that is so desperately needed. This system would entail a state-run clearing house which will collect taxes from growers that day, and be able to offer product to qualified dispensaries that day. Please consider this during this upcoming legislative session.

  • Save Medicare via negotiated drug prices
    Virtually every other country in the world saves megabucks for public healthcare by allowing the government to negotiate drug prices. The U.S. does the same thing with Veterans Administration hospitals. But we are prohibited from doing the same thing for Medicare by an estimated $200B "gift" to the drug companies that costs both Seniors and Medicare.
