American Jobs shipped OffshoreI worked at Anthem Insurance in Roanoke, VA. I lost my job because it was shipped offshore to the Phillipines. Your healthcare may now be handled offshore by workers who do not understand or speak English. Is this Anthem's answer to the new revised healthcare requirements?1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charlotte Wimmer

Stop Pharmaceutical TV adsAccording to Nielsen TV, big pharma spent $2.4 BILLION dollars on TV advertisements in 2011. If drug companies could no longer advertise prescription drugs on TV, drug costs would go down for everyone. Who pays for these ads? We do, through higher drug prices! It makes no sense to advertise directly to consumers when these drugs are only available with a doctor's prescription. The United States is virtually alone in allowing for this type of advertising.142 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Aaron Powell

Medicare Coverage for the Omni Pod Insulin PumpThere are many Diabetics in this Country! A PARTICULARLY Large Number of us are Insulin Dependent! The Insulet Corporation in Bedford,Ma 01730,tel#1-800-591-3455! The CCO is Peter Devlin! This Insulin Pump is easy to use! You can take a shower with it on,you can swim with it! Many of the other Pumps on the Market are a living nightmare for women! These other pumps have a syringe that is filled with insulin a particularly long plastic tube hangs down and one wrong move and it it's dislodged! These other Insulin Pumps cannot be worn in the tub,or the shower or a swimming pool or lake! The US Congress assigned the Code Numbers:PodA 9274 & PDME:0784 therefor the Omni Pod cannot be covered by Medicare because the assigned numbers make it a disposable item8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jean D Haight

Healthcare Providers: Publish Your PricesHealthcare Providers are not required by law to post their prices. Thus, e.g., a patient cannot know the cost covered for an X-ray. it is vital to know how much a patient may have to put out him/herself.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by SHEILA MCCAHEY

Fair Standards for Health CareHealth Care I am finding it hard to pay for ever increasing health care costs even though I have worked for over 50 years. I think congress should have to be given the same choices that the American people are. They do the voting. if this was the case, we would save money and they would vote for better care for us all.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by susan syracuse

Require labeling of all GMO/biotech foodsConsumers deserve to know if our food contains potentially harmful genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Thirty countries have placed restrictions on GMOs, but the U.S. doesn't even require a labeling system, much less regulate them, due to a powerful, wealthy biotech lobby.7,595 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Lapierre

Ban ADT for prostate cancer clinical trial eligibilityEvery promising biotech cancer treatment currently requires prostate cancer patients to undergo and fail androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to be part of any clinical trial. By the time this failure occurs, the patient is too sick and weak for the full benefit of the treatment to be realized. The ADT itself is a big part of the reason. Let these treatments be tried on their own merits.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lawrence E. Marc-Aurele

Rep. Joe Walsh should be disciplinedRep Walsh made the moronic statement recently that in no case can a pregnancy harm the mother, and the idea that an abortion may be needed to save the mother's life is just an excuse to have an abortion. His ignorance of medicine should be sufficient to remove him from the Subcommittee on Healthcare and Technology (of the committee on Small Business) in the House. As a mother and grandmother, I fear that such nonsense could harm the reproductive freedom women enjoy today.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Tannenbaum, MD
