Unable to draw income after a disability because you were a home maker? Living day to day, standing in food giveaway lines and going to free heath centers? ME TOO!!

The US Department of Health and Human Services is awarding Grants to help states build Health Care Exchanges with other states. Wisconsin's Governor Walker has refused to participate, in hopes that Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will be overturned by Republicans winning the November election. Wisconsin is one of 16 states with Republican Governor's trying to block implementation. Wisconsite's health care is at risk. We risk losing Senior Care, an affordable Medicare Part D alternative, funding for Badger Care for low income families and those who have insurable health conditions, and more. Personally, I have few low-cost prescription drugs and am enrolled in Senior Care for $30 a year. Medicare Part D will cost me substantially more if Senior Care is dropped.

This petition issues a call for the RIGHT of all American citizens to access a National Comprehensive Health Care System. Health Care for all Americans is a moral and just principle. At the age of 61, and "down-sized", I was unable to purchase reliable and cost effective health care.

During Thanksgiving 2010, my son visited Arizona to meet his future father-in-law. Unbeknownst to him, he inhaled the spores responsible for Valley Fever or Coccidioidomycosis on an All-Terrain Vehicle excursion. By January 2011, he had a persistent cough. By April, he was hospitalized for shortness of breath and tested for tuberculosis, then released when the test results came out negative. By May, he was taken to another hospital after suffering two strokes and for a ruptured boil. My son was 35 years old at the time. While he has mainly recovered, he lost his job and will be on medication for the rest of his life. The fungus rests in the soil of certain areas of the Americas: southwestern US, northern Mexico and parts of Central & South America.The dangers of Valley Fever are not advertised to travelers to the Southeastern US or to those relocating to that area of the country. Currently, no cure nor vaccine for this disease exists. The fungus is currently listed by the CDC as a select agent or biological toxin. Certain portions of the population are more susceptible to this disease - Filipino, African, Native American, Latino & Asian peoples as well as men, pregnant women & people with weakened immune systems, and animals. With this petition, we hope to have the dangers of this endemic broadcasted to the public, if traveling or relocating to the southwestern United States; and we want the Federal Government to research and fund the creation of a vaccine for humans through the National Institutes of Health.

The economic progress of the state depends on having a healthy workforce. Oklahoma currently ranks 46th in the nation for the health of its citizens. We remind you that you said in your 2012 State of the State address that access to affordable health care is necessary for Oklahoma citizens to become healthier. We identify four reasons why the Medicaid expansion should be accepted. 1. It will reduce the number of uninsured Oklahomans. By accepting Medicaid funding, the number of uninsured poor people could be cut by 53.1 percent. Reducing the number of uninsured reduces costs for everyone and makes the healthcare system work better. 2. It protects Oklahoma hospitals. Hospitals will end up treating Oklahoma’s indigent population no matter what happens. They will end up losing millions of dollars in payments if federal funding is not accepted. 3. It will spur the economy by bringing billions of dollars to the state. This will drive more Oklahomans to seek medical services, resulting in an increased demand for medical jobs. While states will have to spend some money on Medicaid, there will be an overall budget savings because a variety of other state expenses, like uncompensated care, will go down. 4. It is philosophically the correct course to take. Health care is a right, not a privilege. The state has a responsibility and people ought to expect to be able to get health care. We urge you to accept the Medicaid expansion.

To allow people to understand why they should vote for Obama. People need to have a complete breakdown of the above issues

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.

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.
