La Alianza de Cooperativas de Salud de PR te invita e exigir se deroguen las medidas que permiten la interferencia de los intermediarios en el tratamiento médico. La Ley 194 del 29 de agosto de 2011 permite que los planes tomen decisiones por encima de las recomendaciones del médico que está en contacto directo con el paciente, llegando a poner en riesgo la propia vida del paciente.

Regrettably; I am among the "un/under insured Americans. The state plans set-up for those with pre-existing conditions are too expensive. I am drawing unemployment insurance and pay $795.00 a month for rent, not counting utilities, medications and auto insurance. I can not afford $400-$500.00 a month for health insurance. I am 62 years old and need insurance I can afford!

Not brushing your teeth daily of Germs and tartar-calculus can lead to sickness and fatal disease , like heart disease. The elderly should not be treated like dead weight for negligent homicide by our rich-youth-beauty obsessed culture. There already is the guideline of two dental cleanings per year, but as with Deregulation, there is no significant fines or enforcement! Shame on you USA !! Petition all levels of Government that Life of the weak poor injured senile Elderly is just as important as the Life of a newborn baby or teenager or college student or American soldier. Elderly patients in hospitals and warehousing resthomes need our help with laws and fines for DAILY TEETHBRUSHING-FLOSSING and Enforced minimum standard of three dental cleanings per year. Have you ever visited an elderly friend in a hospital or resthome and noticed the terrible buildup of gunk and stains on their teeth !? Shocking ! I know parent who brush and floss their kids teeth every night , yet America is ok with neglecting and not respecting the elderly and their health. Shame on you USA !!

I have been waiting for a kidney transplant for 6 years, living a horrible life on dialysis. I see myself getting sicker & sicker as I spend 3 days a week, 4 hours a day at dialysis. I was 32 when this process started & hope everyday to get that phone call of a new kidney... & even more, I hope everyday that I will live another day. I propose that we make organ donation an opt-out program rather than the current system of opting-in.nobody will have their rights taken away, hence the opt-out option. In addition, the government will save millions if not billions of dollars a year by transplanting people out of extremely expensive dialysis treatments & back into the workforce. All of this & it would drastically improve the lives of your fellow Americans suffering from ESRD (end stage renal disease) & others needing any organ to live.

Illinois Governor Quin restricted medicaid to 4 prescriptions a month to save the state money, without considering the effect it will have on the poor,elderly and disabled! There are hundreds of thousands of people that depend on medicaid due to the high cost of medicine, Dr. visits and hospital costs and life support systems to stay alive with without being in a nursing home.

This petition is to encourage others to support the passing of a SC bill that that targets a policy on concussions sustained by athletes. Concussions are brain injuries that impact the quality of life of individuals. According to the CDC, "Each year, U.S. emergency departments (EDs) treat an estimated 173,285 sports- and recreation-related TBIs, including concussions, among children and adolescents, from birth to 19 years."

40% of all women have "dense breast tissue" (a preponderance of fibroglandular vs. fatty tissue) meaning that a mammogram will routinely miss between 40% and 73% of cancers in these women. Despite this, if no cancer is detected, these women are told that their results are "normal." (More info at www.informwomen.org / www.inhqe.com) Each year, 40,000 to 50,000 women with dense breast tissue receive false "normal" results when a mammogram is unable to detect their cancer. Within 10 years, 10,000 of these women will die as a result of their delayed diagnosis. Most of these women are not aware that other readily available technologies can increase detection to 95%. We need Governor Cuomo to sign this bill (A9586D/S6769B, passed unanimously) which requires that women be notified of their breast tissue density and its impact on mammogram effectiveness.

Under the Affordable Healthcare Act, Employers are responsible for enrolling employees and their families for healthcare coverage, including determining who will be subsidised because of low wages and who will opt out of coverage for what reasons. In addition, buying insurance coverages from certain insurers may affect each employee differently and not for their best interests.This takes a lot of time for employers and may not represent the needs of each employee. Directing the IRS to take over this function increases the privacy of every employee no matter what their wage is; reduces the cost of analyzing which coverage to buy, contracting with the insurer, communicating each benefit to each employee and their family and paying for each employee's covereage with each insurance company. Because of the mass purchasing power of the government, it allows the IRS to negotiate better rates and coverage with each insurance company who will participate in the plan and in collecting employee contributions directly through income tax forms and payments. The major benefit is that individual employees will be better informed of their benefits and choices, have greater privacy for their financial status, and the small employer will have much less costs and responsibility and a reduction of errors due to participating in the plan as a middle-man between the employee and the government. Finally, using the IRS in this fashion will provide greater efficiency and less cost to the government.

Republicans have tried to repeal Obamacare 32 times... And failed. Healthcare reform is needed and needed now not later! My employer just decided once again to lower the amount in which they would pay. Now my healthcare insurance for one month is around $600, co-pays $45 and average prescription costs $50. My husband and I work every day and I want to have the same insurance the people I elected have! Why should our elected officials have better insurance than the average American's? So Stop Repealing Healthcare reform, wasting the money of hardworking Americans and start working for the people which elected you! Stop calling it Obamacare because it should be called America's Care! All elected officials regardless of party get to work and start taking care of the people that elected you in the first place!
