Reduce chronic disease through good nutritionThe 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.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roc Ordman

Pan-American Insurance Refuses to Cover Life-Saving Cancer TreatmentKeri 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.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael J. VanHassel

No ads for drugs on TVThere 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.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by PatSwan

Gov. Jindal: Accept the Medicaid Expansion ProgramThousands 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.3,656 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Lorraine Jones

VETERANS OF SOCIAL DISGRACE.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.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jimmy l. coleman

"ATOMIC VETERANS DENIED BENEFITS"Many nuclear tests have been performed over the last century. American troops were sent to Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands to attempt a Clean-Up Project. It was a joint task group effort including, the DNA, DOE, Holmes & Narver, AEC, and many more government agencies, as well as, Civilians and Foreign Nationals. All of the participants that were of the U.S. Military have been denied benefits for various cancers, etc, due to exposure to radiation. I am being treated for Stage III-C Colon Cancer. We also have been awarded a Humanitarian Medal for our efforts. We have to prove that we were there and provide witness statements, affidavits, travel orders, all while the V.A. has our records.384 of 400 SignaturesCreated by James E. Androl
