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.

The US Congress has to change the wording & the Code Numbers that they assigned to the OMNI POD INSULIN PUMP! The Code NUMBERS that they assigned are:POD A 9274 & PDME0784! They must change the above Code Numbers and the wording that they applied because the Code Numbers they applied makes Omnipod a disposable item! Medicare is not allowed to cover it!) The Congress seems to be ignorant of the fact that the Omni Pod allow Diabetics to experience Blood Sugar Control! I'm sure if the members had family members or children or grand children with Diabetes this would have been resolved before the Omni Pod came out on the Market!

This particular petition is about PA Senate Bill #427, which is proposing that all medical insurance companies in the state of Pennsylvania permit all women the right and access to all FDA approved contraception methods, devices, and the medical counseling that goes with it. If this bill would pass into law, there would be less unintended pregnancies and fewer abortions.

I'm a 59-year old, under-employed woman, without healthcare. Folks in their 50's & 60's have a terrible time getting a job. Employers don't want to risk higher healthcare costs that could come with hiring people age 50+. This age discrimination (resulting in lack of jobs/lack of healthcare) is out of control! Please don't repeal Obamacare! It's one of the few support structures we have!

I request that the President restore subsidies to training hospitals that were cut in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 in order to increase competition in the medical marketplace, which should serve to reduce health care costs.

I would like Mr. Romney to explain how 50 states, each designing a health care system can be more efficient than having one central plan. Also, what happens when someone moves from one state to another?

Hasn't anyone tied the number of mass shootings in Colorado, the the fact that Colorado is rated worst in the Nation for Mental Health care?

Some Navy veterans say they feel like they have been stabbed in the back. Others returned their medals. Of the 400,000 Vietnam Navy veterans sick from Agent Orange in 2008, many doubted they would live long enough to get their medical benefits but wanted to fight anyway because they didn't want their sons and daughters who recently served in Iraq to go through the same thing. The problem started in 2002 when the Veterans Administration limited coverage of Agent Orange exposure to "boots on the ground." How many of the Navy Vietnam veteran Agent Orange survivors alive today will suffer and die from this neglect? The Blue Water Navy Bill HR 3612 was introduced to the US House of Representatives by Democrat US Congressman Lloyd Doggett and 3 other congressmen in Dec of 2011 after a study came out that proved these AMERICANS who served off the coast of Vietnam (and thus did not have "boots on the ground") were exposed to this harmful chemical. Now this bill has over 123 co-sponsors. However, Republican House Speaker, John Boehner, will not bring it up for a vote. A news investigation that aired on Sept 17 2008, ([email protected] ) revealed over 400,000 Navy veterans who served off the coast of Vietnam were dying from exposure to Agent Orange but are not eligible for receiving Veteran medical benefits. This report also referred to a study by the Centers for Disease Control showing cancer incidence rates are actually higher in sailors who served in the Navy than soldiers with boots on the ground during Vietnam. The seawater treatment system on the Navy vessels off the coast of Vietnam did not remove the high levels of Agent Orange. Navy veterans drank, cooked food, bathed, and washed their clothes in water tainted with harmful levels of Agent Orange.
