Hospitals charge people without insurance one inflated price, while giving large discounts to insurance companies for the very same procedures. If that person can't pay the hospital will come after them for the whole inflated price, not the discounted price. I propose a bill saying hospitals cannot charge individuals any more for a procedure than they charge the insurance companies.o

Covering for 340,000 uninsured people in Louisiana .

America should sign this petition so that America can get better health coverage around the nation both poor, rich and everyone in between! Canada already has implemented health coverage to every citizen using there own tax money! We in America could learn from our neighbors! We say we are the best and greatest country but we can only be as great as our weakest citizen! So let's unite together and bring strength, beginning with medical coverage to all! It may seem like a pointless endeavor to some...I mean how can a single citizen bring about change? The simple truth is...I can't, not alone! You must unite with me one American to another American and stand hand in hand with your fellow American's...with all of America uniting we can be as strong of a nation as we once were! Let's change the course of history in America and show that we are still as strong and great as we have always been!

Now that it has finally been approved in Congress and upheld in the Supreme Court, we still have officials dragging on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. In SC we really need this to be put in effect in a timely and responsible manner.

If the Affordable Care Act becomes the law of the land, we should have the option of purchasing insurance from the government to create more competition. For those of you who have reservations about this, Medicares paperwork costs are about 3% of premiums paid. Private insurance companies costs are about 15%. In this case, the government is much more efficient than private insurance

Obamacare is a tax. Obama lied. We need him and it out.

If Iowans are to get the health care we need in the highest-quality, most affordable way, there is no time for delay. It's time to move forward. Let’s build on the bipartisan success of the past five years and truly become “The Healthiest State.” Support a nonpartisan health care summit bringing together stakeholders, policymakers and elected officials to discuss Iowa's next steps.

This is a petition to uphold obamacare and show Rick Scott that we want this law in effect in our state.

Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling, Governor Bobby Jindal still refuses to implement the Affordable Care Act in Louisiana. This has been deemed the law of the land, but it appears that Gov. Jindal would prefer many people in his state to remain without necessary health care, rather than damage his political chances. My husband and I were nearly bankrupted because of my husband's recent heart attack. We need Obamacare in Louisiana, and we need it NOW.

Republicans are distorting the facts regarding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The absolute truth is that every American deserves access to affordable, quality health coverage, and currently 18% of Alaskans have no insurance, and many more are underinsured. For both of these demographics, one accident or illness could result in financial catastrophe. Obamacare includes the largest middle-class tax cut for health care in history. According to the independent Congressional Budget Office, 19 million people will receive tax credits worth an average of about $4,800 each to help them afford health care. These tax credits will finally put health insurance within reach for millions of American families. Around 1 percent of people—those who can afford to buy coverage but instead choose to opt out, shifting their costs to the rest of us—will pay a penalty. The Supreme Court acknowledged yesterday that this penalty will be charged through the tax code—but that doesn’t change its purpose of ensuring everyone who can afford insurance buys it, or its effect of lowering costs for everyone. Before Obamacare, insurance companies had free rein to arbitrarily cap and cancel coverage, and they could waste our premiums on overheads and big bonuses for CEOs. With Obamacare, there will now be clear rules of the road to give patients and doctors more control over health care. These rules will make sure that you and your doctor—not your insurance company, and certainly not a Washington bureaucrat—have control over your health. If you like the insurance you have, you can keep it. The only thing that’s changed is that your coverage is stronger. Here’s how: • If you had a lifetime limit (and about 60 percent of employer-based plans did), it’s been lifted. • If you have a child under the age of 26, they can stay on your plan. • Insurance companies can no longer discriminate against children with pre-existing conditions. • Starting in 2014, insurance companies will no longer be able to deny anyone insurance based on pre-existing conditions, helping up to 129 million Americans get the care they need. • Insurance companies will no longer be able to charge women more than men for the exact same coverage. • 54 million Americans already have access to better preventive services, free of charge. • If you get sick, your insurance company can’t drop your coverage, and if they deny you a treatment, the law makes sure you have a chance to appeal. Health care costs have been going up for decades—that’s one of the reasons President Obama fought to pass the Affordable Care Act. Obamacare makes targeted changes to hold costs down. The President started by taking on the insurance companies. As he said yesterday, the law ensures that insurance companies spend 80 percent of your premium dollars on your health care, not administrative costs or CEO bonuses. If they don’t follow that rule, they have to send you a rebate. This month, more than 12 million Americans will receive over $1 billion in rebate checks, and we’re all seeing lower premiums because of it. The law also takes on waste in our health care system. Let’s take just one example: We spend billions of dollars every year treating people for infections they get while they are in the hospital. The health care law helps hospitals take simple but necessary steps to prevent infections. These types of reforms will save up to $35 billion and 60,000 lives. Learn the truth about The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, then demand Governor Parnell implements it for Alaska.

Getting the governor to commit to implementing the Affordable Care Act in a timely and responsible manner.

It time to say enough is enough to those Radical congress members who are spending their whole three years fighting to take away health care benefits from Middle class American Its about time we stand up against these radicals who's main objective is to deny us the opportunity to have health insurance for our families, but they are enjoying the best health care system in world with their families. We the tax payer deserve the right to enjoy the American dream.
