My 93 year old Grandmother worked hard everyday as a caseworker for Family Services. She always put her clients first by making sure that they had all of the benifits to become successful productive citizens. However, when she had a stroke at age 92 all of her life savings were wipped out in a matter six momths due to the cost of medical insurance and co-pays. Nursing Home Residential Health Care cost approximately $8,000 per month when my Grandmother only received $2,000 per month in Social Security and her Pension from her Job.

Ihave spent thoudsands upon thousands of dollars on periondontaland dental treatments for me and thousands on orthodontia for my daughter. How about insurance for that and some cutbacks on Afghanistan?

Why should Congressman and Senators get Cadillac health care policies, without ever paying into Social Security or Medicare. Why care about U.S. when they get free specialised health care forever for free, while Veterans have to wait and suffer? Investigate All Senators and Congressman who oppose this bill. I was a victim of a hit and run by a car at the beach. Now I have bills in collection over $20,000.00. Stop the lobbyists and the free ride for these politicians!

All elected Federal officials will pay for their own Health Care.

The healthcare is a major success for the middle class, not just Democrats but also Republicans. It is a major success for the President and the Congress. After so many attempts by so many administrations, we finally have a good start to changing healthcare system in the US. The bill was passed by both parties. If the GOP have ideas to add, create an addendum but do not put the American people through another year of bickering while more important issues on the economy and jobs take a back seat.

I urge you to sign this petition to demand that the Affordable Care Act, as determined by law and the Supreme Court, be implemented for all the people of Utah. We need to ensure the people who need insurance have the opportunity to purchase health care at reasonable rates regardless of pre-existing conditions. There is no penalty unless you can afford health care but don't insure yourself. If you ARE insured, you STAY insured. If the insurance companies don't spend at least 80% of your premium on your health care costs, you are due a rebate from the insurance company. This will finally bring the USA into the group of industrialized nations that offer health care to all their people.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) called on the US Surgeon General to produce a report like that of the Tobacco Industry on the Beverage Industry to understand the harms of sugar-sweetened drinks like Coke and Pepsi. We need to make sure that the Surgeon General listens to the ACS. Here's the story: http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/07/03/usa-obesity-soda-cancer-idINL2E8I3AO120120703

The essential benefit benchmark plans are being introduced to the state of Maryland's Governors Office for Healthcare reform's Essential Benefits Advisory Committee. The essential benefits are the REQUIRED benefits on plans that will be available through the state insurance exchange (i.e. the Expedia for Insurance Purchasing). A key benefit, given the high cost of musculo-skeletal problems like neck and back pain, is chiropractic care. Chiropractic care (adjustments, physiotherapy, rehab, prevention and education) has sound scientific data to support it's cost effectiveness and clinical outcomes with a multitude of musculo-skeletal ailments like neck and back pain, headaches and extremity conditions. All Marylanders need to be concerned that their Chiropractic benefit may be limited in quantity and quality. Can you imagine if you had only six visits per year? How would you feel if you had to have your adjustment at your Doctor of Chiropractic's office, and then have your physiotherapy and rehab somewhere else because of restrictions on the benchmark plans? We are calling on all Marylanders to stand up and ensure you have full and reasonable access to cost-effective and scientifically proven chiropractic care.

Repairing TEETH is the repair of the FIRST of the digestive organs. Those organs are A) TEETH B) STOMACH C) INTESTINE. WE THE SO-CALLED PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE COVERAGE OF OUR TEETH.

We the undersigned residents of Indiana fully support the Affordable Care Act and wish to see it implemented in Indiana as soon as possible.

I recently had a doctor's appointment for which I had to take my lunch break at work to attend. I was the only person in the waiting room when I got there at 1:25pm for my 1:30pm. After being there for 15 minutes and not being seen I was ready to leave as I was on my lunch break. Incidents like this have happened on more than on occasion and it is very frustrating. Our time is just as important as there's.
