If the governor do not accept the obamahealthcare we as senior citizen will be seriously affected

Many seniors who are eligible for social security at 62 continue working just so that they do not lose their health care benefits. Some of these workers would benefit from early retirement due to current health conditions. This places a strain on employers who have less productive employees and it reduces openings for others who can not find jobs.

As a nurse I have seen people Die from treatable disease due to Little or no insurance and wated too Long in seeking treatment.

The many millions who die each year of treatable illnesses is a number one reason for caring people to support the affordable health care!!!

Morgan was born with several heart problems as well as intestinal and extremity defects. During the pregnancy, Morgan's mother received an ultrasound called due to the results of a triple screening. The physician stated nothing was wrong and assured the baby was very healthy. To the contrary... Since then Morgan has had a few major surgeries (one to repair her heart). Cardiologists who cared for Morgan stated the ultrasound should have shown the holes in Morgan's heart if it was done correctly in search of the issues the triple screen detected. Medication and therapy could have strengthened the baby while in the womb or other options could have been explored. Yet, not one doctor involved nor the hospital wants to take responsibility. Attorneys tried to retrieve the information, but the hospital continued to state mom was not a patient until mom produced receipts. Then the records appeared in portion. Now... Mom is caring for her baby with all her love along with 2 other children on her own. Attorneys can't get any lead because the doctors are protected by working as employees of schools and the hospital gives them the run around. Help mom get help!

I am a Police Officer, because of the high cost of Insurance we are going to need an affordable plan when we retire. Right now if I were to retire I would have to pay 1,100 dollars a month.( Triple the amount I pay now) You got insurance, Gov Scott!! Why can't the people have some too? We haven't heard your plan, because you don't have one. But you got away with what was described as close to being A CRIME in South Florida with the same plans you are denying us!!! Medicare/Medicaid. Its so strange how you will have Health Care but will deny the middle class retirees and the poor. Stop Hating President Obama, because your party told you too. Look out for the citizens that you took the oath to serve and protect.

Now we can access healtcare with no worries about pre existing conditions.

This is not about you, Its about the millions of Americans without Health Insurance. And helping the elderly keep their Medicaid. Stop the insurance company from denying coverage on pre-exiting illness.

We are all affected by the general health and well-being of fellow citizens. The Affordable Care Act, while not the most perfect approach, is still beyond where we've been. It offers millions of people who have gone without care to have access. The Republicans in Congress continue to threaten to repeal this act and replace it. But they have not got any plan that is substantially different unless it is to reduce access and leave millions of people vulnerable to losing their homes and even their lives..

Health Care Act, AKA Obamacare

After the decision of SCOTUS to uphold the constitutionality of the ACA we need to make sure we do everything we can to keep things moving and help ensure that individual state legislatures follow through with the expansion of their Medicaid/Medicare programs to comply with the goals outlined in the ACA. Many working class families have been financially strained due to high medical bills. My own family is an example of this. When I was 17 I had several brain surgeries due to a life threatening condition known as AVM's. Not being able to afford health insurance the medical bills quickly climbed into the millions which bankrupted my family. Not only did this cause the financial ruin of my family the bankruptcy also made it so that the hospital bills did not get paid. We paid everything we could but it was nowhere close to the amount owed. The ACA helps ensure that this financial ruin does not come to other families in need of medical care and all states should comply and fully support the ideals laid out within said act. It's also hard for me to find insurance now, which is absolutely needed as many other health issues have arisen in the years since my original surgeries, but since this is considered a pre-existing condition insurance companies do not want to take me on. Since my family never fully recovered financially none of us are in the position to purchase healthcare anyway and I make 30 dollars more a month than the poverty level needed to receive Medicaid. So I have to make the best of it and pick and choose which doctors to see and meds to take. I want to ensure that no family should have to face these problems ever again. No family should have to choose between eating and receiving quality healthcare, nor should they face bankruptcy and total financial ruin for the rest of their lives. Just as the hospitals and doctors shouldn't have to worry about not getting paid for their services while trying to help people. No one should be turned down for health insurance because they are already sick and need healthcare immediately. Whatever we can do to help this much needed reform along should be done quickly to prevent this from happening to other hardworking, normal, American families. This is something I feel very strongly about and that is why I am starting this petition. We can not just sit apathetically thinking that since the major hurdle has been crossed everything will fall into place on its own. We need to work quickly to ensure as many states as possible are going along with the ACA and keep pressure on legislatures and not lose momentum while we are getting so much support. Keep it moving, make it stronger, try to unite as many states we can while it's still in the spotlight. This is a good idea but it's our jobs as citizens and Americans to make this country a better place for all other citizens. The sick and the poor need everyone to join together and show the world that we will not let any American fall through the cracks because they got sick ever again.
