  • Medicare–what we need
    Senior citizens always need glasses, hearing aids and especially dental work. Medicare pays for none of these. I wear glasses and have to replace them every two years. I am losing my teeth and suffer with severe toothaches because I can't afford to get them pulled. I can't eat anymore without pain. Lots of people I know wear hearing aids, which are very expensive. We need help.

  • Getting rid of the new rules and regulations for Medicade
    As of July 1st, 2012 the government made changes to Medicade. These changes dropped alot of services for people, they also hiked up the co-pay at the offices. Our government under the new law wants everyone to have insurance and if we dont have it we can be fined! but yet there taking away alot of the serivces needed for people who are on public aid, this doesn't make sense. The reason were on public aid to begin with is because we can't afford other insurance. I know they have good care for children but what about there parents??If the parents can't be well enough, how do they expect us to take care of our children! " I had a tooth in the back of my mouth that needed a root canal, but the only thing public aid paid for was if I were to get it pulled! Now keep in mind we all need our back teeth to chew they are our most important teeth, so long story short I had to get it pulled. Then I go to get the pain killers from the pharmacy and they no longer cover pain pills from the dentist! This is just ridiculous! It needs to go back to the way it was. I need other people who have been in the same predicament to take a stand to the government.

  • Boycott doctors that boycott fat people!
    Primary care physicians are now refusing to treat overweight people. This is not only an outrage by itself but can effect anyone that needs medication for epilepsy, high blood pressure, arthritis, ms, depression, diabetes, and many other conditions where weight gain is a well known side effect of the treatment. Where do we draw the line?

  • Cut medical care for retire Congressmen and Senators
    United States Congressmen and Senators are wealthy and should pay for healthcare. Retiree from Congress and the Senate do not pay into their medical insurance unlike the common tax payer.Who not only pays for SSI and Medicare also pay taxes and for life time health insurance for our Congressmen,Senators and their families. By cutting spending for free healthcare to these groups we could save money and quit stealing from retired Americans who have paid taxes and into SSI/Medicare their whole adult lives and have a right to expect to use these programs.

  • Advocates for change in mental health legislation
    There are many people affected by the ever growing mental health crisis in this country. Many families have a family member/or know someone who is undergoing a crisis situation as a resut of the mental health dilemma. We need change in legislation and more programs to assist sufferers and their families. Education in schools, work settings, and hospitals are preliminary to dessiminate the "stigma" presented with this issue. "When one is afflicted, we are all affected!" Let's stand together and raise our voices to our Congress on this matter!

  • Dental Therapy
    All Dentists refuse to accept public assistance (aka MediCare, MediCal, Welfare Insurance, etc.) for necessary dental work, so many people without money but with a lot of dental pain cannot afford basic dental care. However, Dental Therapist are trained to do basic dental work at low tuition schools (IE: Community Colleges) AND will accept public welfare insurance.

  • Help Injured Veterans Get The Assistance They Deserve
    While the U.S. defense budget continues to skyrocket, those who have served our country in the most important way, languish under mounting paper work. Whether their injuries are physical or mental, our veterans deserve the support of the country they defended. We have an able-bodied workforce that is waiting for the opportunity to prove their worth. Let's give the long-term unemployed the chance to help . . . Our servicewomen and men and themselves.

  • Stop Making Commercials About Alcohol
    I believe that all these commercials showing people partying and drinking, makes it look attractive to young people! It is a drug and should not be shown in commercials at all! It should have warning labels on it, just like cigarettes. How many people do we have sick and dying from alcohol addiction in this country? Why do people not sue the alcohol companies for wrongful death?
