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.

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.

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!

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...

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice calls upon Governor Scott Walker and the leaders of the Wisconsin Senate and Assembly to implement the state health care exchange and the expansion of Medicaid, as called for in the Affordable Care Act. As clergy and people of faith, we believe it is a moral imperative to provide health care for all our citizens.

If you belong to an Anthem Blue Cross health plan or pay California state taxes your money is helping to fund misleading, partisan political ads. These ads hurt our families by attacking supporters of health care, environmental regulation and Wall Street reform. Anthem Blue Crossʼs super-rich parent company, WellPoint Inc., which last year made $2.6 billion in profit and paid its CEO more than $13 million, is secretly using your premium money against you and your family to oppose rate regulation that would keep Anthem and other health insurers from price-gouging. UPDATE: Angela Braly has resigned as CEO of WellPoint, bowing to pressure from investors and activists amid accusations of mismanagement. Petition signatures will be forwarded to John Cannon, interim CEO, instead.

I would like to get insurance companies, including Medicare, to cover hearing aids due to loss at birth and injuries.

Congressional privilege, particularly in terms of their medical and healthcare benefits, is blinding our legislators to the reality that ordinary citizens confront. Let's abolish the congressional health plan and put our legislators on the same plan the rest of us have (or lack)
