TV ads for Prescription medications are bombarded onto the American public every minute, does this justifies the high price of medications in the USA compared with the rest of the world? Same prescriptions are about a tenth of the USA in Mexico, Canada or the rest of the world. Stop commercials, lower the cost of medications.

The recent outbreak and confirmed deaths from fungal meningitis could have been prevented by regulating compounding centers. Individuals seeking help for pain management now live in fear of death from contaminants found in the steroid agent prepared at a Massachusetts Compounding Center. There are hundreds of these compounding centers operating and unregulated. Tell the White House and members of Congress in your state that we expect them to protect the public. The FDA must be charged with regulating these compounding centers now.

Members of Congress generally treat the issue of health care as a purely academic debate, since they have rock-solid, top of the line health care built into their salaries. While they are entitled to excellent health care, so is every human being. My wife and I buy the best health care we can afford, but even so are immensely frustrated by it. We are constantly nickel-and-dimed with co-pays, partial payments, and denials. Let members of Congress also play by the same rules: eliminate their special plan, force them to shop in the same health care market the rest of us do, and let's see how health care legislation changes.

free health insurance and pentions for politicians

My mother and a friend have recently been in a nursing home in Delaware and Pennsylvania. I saw and heard about negligent and irresponsible behavior on the part of the employees.

My daughter has special needs. Thanks to Obama, I was able to get health insurance for her. Thank you President Obama!!!

Here in Michigan, if you are a retiree in the public school or other public service jobs, the fund for health care has chosen to not accept the terms of the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. This means our adult children cannot be insured up to age 26 unless they are full time students and are claimed on our Federal Tax 1040's. I want the retiree system to adopt the Affordable Care Act. If it is fair for Americans, it should be fair for all of us public employees also.

With 47 people in 7 states getting meningitis from fungus growing in steroids produced in non-FDA supervised pharmacy labs, it is time for the FDA to take over supervision of those compound-producing laboratories. Add your voice to encourage the FDA to protect us from bad drugs.

66% of caretakers are women. Women have to quit jobs to take care of their loved ones and lose what they have gained all these years in the workforce. 5.4 million people have Alzheimer's. Our country spends $200 billion on AD - most on from Medicare and Medicaid. And only $450 million on Research. It will bankrupt our country. We need more research money NOW!!!

In other countries people have the right to know what they eat. Here in the US, we are not allowed to know whether our food contains genetically modified organisms. Recently new research has shown that GMOs are not as safe as Monsanto wants us to believe.

Well I would like to petition the government ,to lower the rating of this herb to the level of Alcohol,fire arms and tobacco. I have a condition which this helps me get through the day. If the DEA keeps taking the herb and busting in on pharmacies, i don't like to be caught in the cross hairs of their law. Not only that but as well as the country and individual states due off of alcohol and tobacco,they would even do way, way better. It is common sense and very logical in a mathamatical way !

Governor Bobby Jindal is cutting the Louisiana State Budget again. After the 2012, Legislative Session ended and all cuts have been defined.
