Yes, equality in the type of health insurances, retirement benefits, etc. for all Americans, which iINCLUDES members of Congress......think of all the savings to the public.....this would take a lot of publicity and push to get it through but if there is enough pressure exerted and the public demand is great, who knows, maybe it could happen....some members may rally to the cause!

four years ago i was paralyzed and hospitalized for 3 weeks. my doctor now suspects that my overuse of diet products, sodas, sweets, sweet and low, etc., led to the paralysis. there is evidence that these artificial sweeteners attack your nerve endings and also make leisions in your brain. i worked very hard with my physical therapist and was finally able to use a wheelchair, walker and now still have to use a cane. originally i had absolutely NO FEELING from my bust down to my toes (couldn't move at all, not even wriggling my toes). i have regained a little feeling, but still have neuropathy from my knees down to my toes. it is a very painful disease to live with and very debilitating. there is no guarantee that i will ever get better, and worse, my doctor said i could have another episode and maybe this time i wouldn't regain ANY feeling!!! my cardiologist said i have permanent damage to my heart, most likely from a stroke that they think i suffered at the same time. there is a group, headed up my mrs. betty martini, that is working very hard to eliminating this chemical from all our foods. this is a very serious problem for all humans!!!

I am a retired Federal Employee. My insurance premiums remained the same even though Medicare became the primary provider. Medicare should become a secondary provider, not a primary provider.

The Farm Bill supports producing meat and carbs. Less than 5% goes to growing the fruits and vegetables that prevent obesity, cancer, and heart disease. Our national leaders should support public service commercials and make public statements to encourage people to eat fruits and vegetables, and use the Farm Bill to support farmers who grow foods that make us healthy.

Keri Blickenstaff Kinsel is a 27 year-old wife, PhD student, teacher, daughter, sister, and step mother. In January 2012 she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive bone cancer, Ewing's Sarcoma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewing's_sarcoma). After months of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation, her doctors have prescribed one final major dose of chemo followed by a bone marrow transplant. They believe this will greatly increase her chances of survival. Her insurance company, Pan-American, has denied coverage due to profit motivations. Pan-American is an insurer with $2.2 Billion dollars in assets and almost $500 Million in annual revenue (http://www.palig.com/about/press_release.aspx?id=94&language=en-us). We think Pan-American can afford Keri's treatment. This petition is to José S. Suquet, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of Pan-American to over turn Pan-American's decision not to cover Keri Blickenstaff Kinsel's life-saving treatment. Please take a brief moment to sign, and please spread this petition far and wide via email and social media. There have been cases of insurance companies over turning denial of coverage due to people speaking out, and we expect this to be one! Thank you for your time and consideration.

There are a lot of people in our country influenced by television ads. A 30 or 60 second ad should not be how someone determines what drugs they need. Drug companies should market to doctors - but not to an uneducated public. The "fine print" needs to be printed, not spewed by a fast talking actor in the alloted time during the commercial.

Marijuana is a healthier cure for depression, pain, etc., than Pharmaceutical Drugs being prescribed today. Too many people are being arrested and jailed for this non violent crime that's over filling our jails and wasting tax payers money.

Our veterans are coming home and not giving the right kind of care that they need or just simply being turned away. The result is a high number of overdoses of presciption drugs and suicide.

Thousands of your elderly constituents, poor families, low-income adults, and poor children will be affected immensely by your refusal to accept the Medicaid Expansion Program. I have nieces and nephews who will no longer be able to access medical care due to your irrational decision to balk at the President's plan to help our citizens, those of whom are in the greatest need of assistance. Gov. Jindal you can and should reverse your decision to refuse acceptance of this program.

I'm a veteran, I live in charleston south carolina, i'm also a single parent, disabled, and poor. I'm both sad and mad at the way society treats the poor especially veterans, being poor has not stopped me from living a life full of experiencess, friendships, laughter, and love. Being poor has no bearing on intellect, morals, courage, or honor.

You need to restore the medicare cuts as they are hurting the elderly.

I firmly believe every citizen in the US is as entitled to the same good insurence as our Congress enjoys.
