I have severe physical handicap issues walking disability tumor in my spine, compressed disks missing discs arthritis through my whole body, knee that was supposed to be operated on but had to cancel surgery because there was no one to take care of me. I have fibromyalgia two rotator cuff surgeries. Yet lo and behold the state will no longer give me my medicine without prior authorization which could take 10 days and we are limited to 6 prescriptions per month I am in severe pain and have been without my medicine for 3 days and counting.

And that 26k is not a car payment for a Ferrari. That is the broad range that Americans have to pay for non generic drugs. And now the pharmacist lobbyists want to extend the time the it takes prescription drugs from reaching the market from 5 years to 10 years. And if you are like me who has to pay $300 a month to pay for his prescriptions because my insurance will not cover it and can't afford to get better insurance, this is not acceptable. But this is even more absurd for those such as cancer patients or others with serious mental health disorders who have to pay more a month than people in the %1 even make a year. This petitions goal is to reduce the time it takes prescription drugs to become generic by changing the law from 5 years to 3 years, and to limit how much drug companies can charge a pill for a months worth of medication.

Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010 Census show that Ohio 1.3 million uninsured, or 14.3 percent. Some examples of the poorer, rural counties: Athens County: 8,870 uninsured, or 17.9 percent uninsured; Hocking County: 3,790 uninsured, or 15.4 percent uninsured; and Meigs County: 3,384 uninsured, or 16.9 percent uninsured. The Urban Institute, a think tank that carries out economic and social-policy research, estimates that 57 percent of Ohio's uninsured non-elderly adults will remain uninsured if Ohio does not implement the ACA's Medicaid expansion.

We need a national program to study severe mental illness and find treatments and prevention. So many times lately we hear of young men who's lives have come apart and they have killed dozens of people. Something happens to these apparently normal people that cause them to become terrorists. It is not politics. They seem to have become deranged for no good reason. We need study to help prevent these tragedies and save lives.

S.C. Governor Nikki Haley is attempting to gather support to reject Medicaid Expansion dollars provided under the Affordable Care Act.

This petition is about my right to use the medicine of my choice for my I.B.S. with C and diverticlitus.

Stop restricting insurance coverage for contraception and abortion based on the religious convictions of the employer. This forces people to accept and adopt religious beliefs of another individual if they want to earn a living.

MS attacks the most productive members of society, including my 44 year old son. It slowly debilitates them physically, mentally and emotionally until they become invalids. Funding and research is fragmented. Until a global consortium that shares research and funding is created, a cause and cure will never be found. Pharmaceutical companies will only fund medicines that will make profit. A cause and cure is needed now. You never know when MS will decimate your family. Vote for cooperation.

I am a 60 year old widow. I lost everything from home to my health insurance.. I have pre existing conditions which preclude me from qualifying for individual health insurance unless I am rated much higher. In Mendocino Country California where I live ,the county subsidized program eliminates anyone who makes for than 1700 per month. I just started collecting my husbands S.S. which is just about that. I am a licensed RN, and work as a temp employee at our local health center. If I make more than a few hundred dollars in a month A. I do not qualify for health care at all. B- I loose a portion of my widows benefits. If I AM approved for county insurance, my deductible would be a share of cost of about $1000 per month. Any preexisting health insurance in California is unaffordable..payments approximately $500 per month, and that is after 6 months of NO county insurance. What happens to me and other people who fall between the cracks? Not old enough to receive medicare and too old to qualify for private, affordable insurance due to health conditions, ie. mild hypertension, high cholesterol. I have never been without coverage, and I am in a constant state of panic over this. I hear of many Americans moving to Canada just to have healthcare with a nominal premium. If I got ill, I don't know what I would do. It terrifies me. I live under the poverty level, but apparently I'm not QUITE poor enough. We need President Obama to address this issue . I believe it is urgent for me and so many other Americans.
