Camp Lejeune MCB had a water contamination issue that affected many Active Duty Military and families, causing major health issues and diseases such as Cancer, and Leukemia which led to deaths of many including children. Camp Lejeune toxic water contamination 1950s-1987. ... The toxic water contained Volatile Organic Compounds (PCE TCE), toxic fuel derivatives and ... In the case of those families who spent time at Camp Lejeune, a bill was signed by President Obama Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, military families who have been affected by the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina will have the health care they need. The main problem with this bill is that those of us that served beginning 1988 aren't eligible for anything. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2009, my oncologist said since it doesn't run in my family it seemingly is Environmental. My late husband stationed at Lejeune from 1985 until 1991 died in 2006 because he accidentally overdosed by self medicating for the extremely painful headaches he endured while residing in the barracks of HP-55, which we both resided prior to our marriage. Unfortunately, my husband Cpl Bryan Morris didn't live to know about the water contamination or how it has affected both him, his children and myself. Their is no way that the clean up for something that was lurking in the water supply system for over 30 years would be cleaned up by 1987, much less 1988, 1989 and so on. It is imperative for all of the servicemen and women who were both living and working on the base during those times to also get benefits for health issues they have been diagnosed with since their departure from Camp Lejeune MCB, Jacksonville, N.C.

Both political parties and the media seem to avoid the topic of negotiated Medicare prescription drug prices. This is an area offering the greatest savings but both parties and the mainstream media receive too much money from the drug companies to actively talk about it let alone take action.

GMO's (genetically modified organisms) are in a wide variety of foods regulary consumed by the public. Although GMO's are believed to be extremely dangerous to your health, there currently is no law in NY state or any other state prohibiting them, or even requiring foods containing GMO's to at least be labelled as such. In order to safeguard the health of our families, it is imperative that we have a label law requiring all foods containing GMO's to be labelled as such.

Stop Hobby Lobby from enacting their desire to "choose" for women their access to birth control. All women could be effected by any court decision.

Stop chemical companies from controlling our food. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) have been shown to cause tumors in test animals, yet they are already approved to be in our food supply. The government must require these foods to be labeled. We have the right to know what is in our food. GMO's should be banned from this country as many other countries have already done.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a disease affecting millions of people, yet little or no current research is being done in the areas of treatment, long-term care or a cure.

The Insurance companies have been giving health providers no raises. As a clinical psychologist I had no raise in fees since the 80's. MDs are struggling with something almost as bad. We have all stayed doing our jobs on 'out of network' rates. That will go away with the existing health care bill. Insurance will set a rate even lower than 1986 for me. (94$ a session then. 92$ now) i will have to find other work.

Did you know that just being poor does not make you eligible for Medicaid in Utah? To qualify for Medicaid, an adult in Utah must earn less than $8,000 a year and have dependent children or earn less than $15,000 and be permanently disabled. Just being poor is not enough. No wonder nearly 380,000 uninsured Utahns are at risk at losing their health, their job, their personal savings, and their home if they get hurt or sick and can’t pay out-of-control medical bills. The good news is that Utah can make a positive change. Right now, for a minimal state investment, Governor Herbert and the Utah state legislature have the opportunity to make Utah's Medicaid program whole, and provide health care coverage to thousands of your neighbors, friends, and families.
