Have you watched a pregnant woman or mother of a newborh struggle to get to an office or hospital entrance, only to have to park at a distance and walk too far in that condition? Pregnant women and mothers with newborns need to be able to park as close as possible to doctors' offices, hospital entrances, etc. The DMVs should issue temporary "disabled" parking permits for the last 6 months of pregnancy and the anticipated first year of the newborn's life.

Republican Governors have threatened to block Medicaid coverage for qualified people in their states thru the ACA ("ObamaCare") plan when offered in 2014. Our petition seeks to hold those Governors AND Legislatures civilly and criminally responsible for all disabilities and/or deaths which could have been prevented by Medicaid coverage after 2014 in those states.

Texans deserve to get their excess health insurance premiums refunded to them, but Rick Perry wants his health insurance friends to keep our money. Tell Rick Perry to depart from his corporatist agenda and stand with the people of Texas at least one time in his 12 years in office!

Please stop blocking federal funds to cover poor, uninsured citizens through Obamacare.

We need to stop Governor Rick Scott from blocking Federal funds for the uninsured.

Having health insurance is NOT a partisan issue. Ask anyone living in the great state of Nevada who is uninsured and they will agree. Governor Sandoval has an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those who are uninsured, by accepting federal funds for Obamacare. Yet, he turns these funds away. A Governor should represent his constituents, not his party. Do the right thing Governor, and make a difference for the uninsured in Nevada.

Our son recently suffered traumatic brain injury and miraculously survived. However, it has taken months to determine whether we have all the bills, whom to contact (13 separate billing agencies), what actual costs are, whether there could be adjustments, payment plans (all different), how to pay, and how to avoid bills going to collection agencies. This is often an impossible task for patients recovering from illness or injury or, as in the case of our son, trying to work to pay the bills. It is a lose-lose situation if people get trapped in the maze and give up - doctors and hospitals don't get paid and individuals suffer destroyed credit and, often, refusal of future treatment. Both elderly and younger patients are affected, but those who are not yet on Medicare are most vulnerable because of so many separate billing requirements. Why make the system so punitive for those who actually want to pay their bills?

Why is it that some people are approved rigth away, and most people are denied time and time again, those being the people who need it the most. With my disability not only am I unable to get a job, but I am unable to qualify for affordable insurance or pay for the medication that I am required to take daily. Head injuries are unlike all other types of disablities. No one has to accomodate or know how to for that matter in the work force.

Rick Perry has said publicly that he will not uphold the law and not implement "Obama Care". He took an oath when he took office to uphold the laws of Texas as well as the United States. He does not have the choice on what laws to enforce. He is not above the law and neither is Texas.

As a Mom of four grown children raised without vaccines & allopathic medicines prescribed by conventional MD's, I know that people can & will be healthier through natural means: holistic nutrition for prevention and natural treatments by qualified professionals would eliminate 90% of dis-eases afflicting too many people including children. It pains me to see young parents dealing with chronic illness in their children that could so easily be prevented or treated with natural means. Millions of Americans already choose holistic professionals & treatments because they work better with no harmful side effects. This "better" medicine should be a choice available to all.

Since passed by a Republican Congress and President Bush, it has been illegal to get FDA approved cheaper brand name medications from Canadian pharmacies. $900,000,000 in lobbying costs have rewarded international pharmacies billions of dollars in revenue at the expense of Americans needing meds and taxpayers paying the health insurance of millions of federal,state and local workers. As a physician, I know the financial burden is too high for Americans.

Comprehensive Dental Coverage should be covered by Medicare and the ACA as the connection between poor oral health care and other problems with the Heart and lungs is indisputable. "The 2000 Surgeon General's report, Oral Health in America, has called attention to this connection and states that, if left untreated, poor oral health is a "silent X-factor promoting the onset of life-threatening diseases which are responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans each year."
