33 votes have been taken by this Congress regarding healthcare reform. Despite a resolution vote by the Supreme Court, two additional votes were taken costing taxpayers millions of dollars and adding to our national debt. This is both time and money that could be better spent on rebuilding this country's infrastructure.

Our nation's law makers should take steps to extend the length of Family Medical Leave Act Time and offer meaningful tax credits to the millions of Americans caring for an aging or disabled baby boomer family member. My father Mike is currently on SSI and Medicare and when his illness becomes severe, which is often, I must take off from work. Things became complicated this year when I was out due to an automobile accident. I have now run out of FMLA and sick time for the year and am at the mercy of my employer. Meanwhile, I am paying for much of his care, while performing three peoples' jobs doing personal care, house cleaning, etc. all on top of my career as a flight attendant. Quality skilled nursing facilities can cost up to $6,000.00 a month, a figure simply out of reach for most working people. My situation is not unusual This is happening to so many of us. The emotional and financial drain is unbelievable.

With budgets being the way they are many counties like ours here in WA state Lewis County have closed all case management for folks with HIV / AIDS making it another counties issue which is already to lean to properly manage their cases so how do we get all elected officials to realize this issue and help those in need in their own area

Having a chronic disease I NEED insurance nor can I afford to be turned down.

Their salaries are high enough that they should have no problem providing for their own healthcare. They don't need taxpayers to foot the bill anymore.

I want to thank President Obama for the ACA/Obamacare plan.

Millions of children and adults rely on Adderall, Ritalin, and related medicines to treat their ADD and ADHD, but a severe, year-long shortage has made these pharmaceuticals extremely hard to find legally. The shortage is a result of inter-agency squabbling between the FDA, which has included these drugs on its list of official pharmaceutical shortages, and the Drug Enforcement Agency, which limits how much of the active ingredient in these drugs manufacturers are allowed to make. Manufacturers and the FDA say the DEA quotas are preventing them from meeting market demand. The DEA accuses manufacturers of using their quotas to produce more expensive alternatives instead of less expensive versions people can afford. We call on President Obama and the other officials named on this petition to meet immediately to resolve the ridiculous inter-agency bickering that is preventing people from obtaining medical care. End the Adderal shortage NOW!

In spite of rulings by the U.S. District Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is intent on denying benefits to the same sex partners of state employees. The Governor claims this is an effort to save the state money, but this makes little sense. The passage of SB1070 cost Arizona over $3 million in legal fees and at least $141 million dollars in lost tourism revenue. If Governor Brewer continues this fight, we can expect similar losses, far more damaging to our state budget than the $1.8 million it currently costs to extend benefits to the same sex partners of state employees. This is not about money. It is yet another instance of Arizona lawmakers promoting bigotry and a conservative "state's rights" agenda at the expense of the citizens they are sworn to serve. Governor Brewer, respect the dignity of Arizona's citizens and drop this legal fight. It is the right thing to do morally and the right thing to do fiscally.
