• Say "Yes" to Obamacare funding for Arkansas
    I have a grandson age 6 who two years ago is affected by juvenile diabetes, and he needs much care. His mother, my daughter, is divorced with two additional children and without this care he would be greatly affected with the much care it takes in providing the necessary supplies as he copes with this illness. Obamacare helps provide him with what he needs like so many other families.

  • MY BODY, MY CHOICE! End Forced Vaccination for clinicals to earn a degree in the health field
    My name is Jon and I will be forced to be vaccinated in order to attend clinicals against my will and rights so I am allowed to earn my degree in the health field. I lost my job and was forced to move and was homeless for several months. Only by God's grace and one kind person was I able to get back on my feet and start attending college where I have earned a 4.0 and was accepted into a health program. I was told by the Vice president of the college that I must be vaccinated in order to attend clinicals and earn my degree and that it is the hospitals policy, not the schools. With my knowledge of the risks and dangers and the ingredients that are in the vaccines such as thimerosal, a man made mercury that destroys brain neurons and has 1,000's times more affinity to human tissue than mercury found in nature as well as the heavy metal, aluminum which is linked to degenerative brain disease such as alzheimers and dementia. Diploid cells which is aborted fetus tissue that the infectious agent is grown on. Formeldahyde (formalin) which is embalming fluid, extremely carcinogenic and up to 60 other chemicals in one vaccination. I definately do not consent to or want these chemicals, heavy metals, toxins and aborted fetus cells injected into my body along with the risk of disease and death associated with vaccination. If you knew the truth and facts you would not subject your children or yourself to vaccination. MY BODY, MY CHOICE.

  • Mainers Need the Better Quality Health Care.
    I suggest replacing the current process of residency in all the Maine Clinics and Hospitals (Maine Medical Center (MMC) - one of such examples), where the medical students go through this teaching process, with the process when every patient supposed to be seen by the Attending Physician and medical student at the same time in order for students to Learn How to Treat the Patients Professionally.. (in all aspects).

  • DEA vs. chronic pain patients
    The DEA is forcing doctors that treat people with chronic pain to stop using opiate pain medicine. These medicines help us live a daily life with the ability to function: bathing, dressing, shopping, walking, and other normal activities. In their effort to stop illegal drug activities, the DEA is hurting people who need treatment.

  • Smart Meters
    All utility companies in the United States will and have already installed smart meters to replace the present meters we have both in residential sectors as well as all commercial businesses. They say it is to update the system, eliminate meter readers (and jobs) and here is the bad part - they are surveillance cameras and monitor what we are doing 24 hours a day. Now for the worst part - they emit microwave radiation 24/7 and it a major health concern. They need to be banned from all buildings in America. This is a violation on many levels of the 14th Amendment.

  • Personal Music for Elders in Nursing Homes
    I am the director of the film, 'Alive Inside', making this film I have seen Personal Music, the music of one's youth, awaken Elders with Alzheimer's Disease, ease loneliness and pain and I am convinced that this inexpensive 'medicine' humanizes life in nursing homes and does so much good at such a low cost that as a society we must provide it to our Elders.

  • The Cost of Eating Healthy, Too Expensive!
    I try to provide healthy foods for my family, but the cost of fruits and vegetables makes my grocery bill double. I can provide less nutritious foods and save a ton on my grocery bill. If the government is concerned about America's growing weight issues, I believe it needs to start here. It is easy to go to a local fast food chain and feed my family hamburgers for under $4.00, yet one salad alone cost $4.00 to $5.00. The same is our grocery stores. Lets get the attention of our government so that we can eat healthy without breaking our pockets!

  • Return AHCCCS Benefits to the People who need them!
    My son sustained a traumatic brain injury requiring an expensive stay in the ICU, trauma care and many, many CT scans of his head. Now, as a result of "budget" cuts, he no longer qualifies for AHCCCS....! Lack of this benefit causes increased burden on patient, families and encourages non-compliance with medical treatment. We are calling on our governor to return the needed health care benefit to the people, before the health care crisis is out of control...

  • MSG-MAJOR HEALTH HAZARD!
    This petition has been started to lead to the total discontinuation of the manufacture of MSG (Monosodium Glutamate). For anyone with migraines, this is the fastest trigger to start a migraine. My wife has had many a migraine after knowingly (and unknowingly) ingesting something with MSG in it. Chinese and Japanese foods are the biggest culprit. Migraine sufferers, beware!!!

  • Medicare
    The Social Security Administration needs to be examined by the House Oversight Committee. This government agency does not serve the interests of the American public and is an enemy of senior Americans. The draconian penalties of multiple 10% cumulative penalties over the lifetime of citizens which no public or private organization, including the IRS, is permitted to extract from any client is outrageous..Compared to any private for-profit insurer, the SSA is the worst provider of health care. We must never permit the SSA to administer any health care insurance and certainly not a single payer program.

  • Health Care for All Citizens Anytime, All the Time
    For most of my life as a single mom, I did not have health care for myself or my child. If a doctor was needed, I paid cash. My best plan was to educate myself about how to keep us healthy including chiropractic. Insurance offered to me was limited and did not include the choices I wanted and needed.

  • Stop GMOs NOW before it is too late!
    I have been the picture of health until I came to the USA. The only thing that changed was the food I ate. Little did I know about GMOs since it is kept secret from the public as much as possible by the manufacturers like Monsanto, Syngenta and its friends like Dow, DuPont, Bayer, Basf, Cargill, and others. There is a reason for so much cancer, heart disease, birth defects, infertility, autism, kidney diseases, obesity, allergies and others. Not only in us; in our pets too! Organic can sustain the world. GMOs are ruining it and our government is in bed with them.
