• Medicare to Medican't: The Divide and Conquer Approach
    I am a dialysis patient on disability at age 63. Except for this "entitlement" I would be dead. Now we hear about people 55 and older won't be affected by the Republican approach to Medicare, so what do I say? "To hell with those 54 and younger?" This is a despicable divide and conquer approach. Medicare is not something to be evaluated only on a fiscal basis though that’s important, it must me evaluated on a human basis. What kind of civilized society are we if only the “Pharaohs” benefit?

  • Reforming Nation's Eye Screening for Pre-K & Teens
    It's about break through 'new' technology that can diagnose and detect eye refractions and VIP disease within Preverbal infants 6-months and older within a second! The majority of educational data that is mentally recorded is pre-conceived by the eyes. As a seasoned advocate for children's issues, I find this project most critical in regaining our academic edge on a world level. We're currently doing math and reading at #27 globally. While our penal systems are over crowding with young adults hampered by long undiagnosed eye refractions that have crippled them for life! Figure for yourself how this underestimated health/educational issue contributes to our social and economic demise nation-wide!

  • stop cheating vets out of benifits at va hospitols
    The VA doctors down play and sometimes intentionally and negligently overlook serious conditions.A church member was treated for bronchitis for months then found out she had cancer and was giving six months to live. My doctor writes that patient is doing better when I keep telling him the stuff is not working and my stomach hurts everyday. Can't get another doctor though I have officially filed complaints twice and talked about it more than that with the patients advocate. He writes false reports to make it appear that his treatment is working. I have to tell him to send me to a specialist. The last time he sent me to a another Va doctor who claim to have found nothing when I know for a fact that he over looked some things and failed to mention them in his report. Many has claimed and stated that the NC veteran administration is racially bias in their decision and claims process. The facts of what percentages are approved by race and how long the process took will speak for itself.

  • Temporary disability parking for pregnant women and new mothers
    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.

  • Governor Sandoval: Stop 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.
