Fix Health Insurance for CongressOur Congressional Representatives choose their healthcare plans from a menu of "gold standard" health insurance plans. Let's demand that our elected US Congressional Representatives choose from the same plans available to their constituents. For example, my 26 year old daughter who lives in Utah in not eligible for insurance because she was born with a congenital anomaly. If a Congressional Representative from Utah has a congenital anomaly, should that representative have insurance that is not available to their constituent?4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by JANE CRIMMINS

Medical Care for Wisconsin CitizensRight to life is impossible if a person does not have reasonable, affordable access to medical care. Without quality health care insurance, this access is grossly limited at best. Years of health and financial problems have left many in this nation either prematurely deceased, unnecessarily ill, and/or financially ruined. Wisconsin has already lost valuable time due to the Governor's refusal to follow the recommendations/requirements of the Affordable Health Care Act and he is still refusing to do so. How many more will die, become unnecessarily ill, and financially ruined while this delay continues? For those people, should the legal system allow recourse?76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by AnneMarie

Governor Haley Stop Blocking ProgressThe Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress, signed into law by President Obama, and now has been upheld by a ruling from the United States Supreme Court. Why, then, are South Carolina officials like Governor Nikki Haley, Attorney General Alan Wilson, and their cohort of state Republican leaders still trying to stall implementation of the Affordable Care Act?4,509 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Jarvis Dijon Miller

Tell Governor Walker to fully implement the ACA in WisconsinAn estimated 13% of the adults under 65 in Wisconsin reported not seeking health care because of the cost in 2010. The percentage of adults under 65 who reported not seeking health care because of the cost in 2010 works out to an estimated 448,000 people in Wisconsin. The decline in access is not surprising, given the increase in the rising cost of health insurance and the decline in employers providing health benefits. http://www.jsonline.com/business/access-to-health-care-declines-in-wisconsin-nationwide-8h5agns-150534135.html185 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kelley D Albrecht

Do the right thingsPutting ObamaCare in action is the right thing not only for those individuals who have a hard time attaining work but for those who have exhausted their insurance policies/benefits. For example, I sustained a head injury some years ago and have exhausted mine. Along with that, finding a job with benefits has been challenging. I can understand people's oppostion to this bill because illegal immigrants also benefit from it, but what about those who are discriminated against for something that was out of their control? Many people oppose this bill for absurd reasons, but they also fail to look at the positives this bill could also bring.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rashida Starks

Gov. Otter: Honor MedicaidRefusing to accept federal funds—free for three years and 90% free after that—to assist needy people in meeting their health care needs is plainly partisan nonsense. Sign this petition, and with enough people in Idaho behind it we may be able to convince the governor to do the right thing.2,873 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Will Cavanaugh

Affordable Healthcare Act/ "ObamaCare"Governor and state representatives of government should NOT'deny citizens/voters/families help with Medicaid and refuse to be a part of the cooperative effort of the Congressional vote that passed the bill, the Executive signing of the bill, and the Supreme Court decision accepting this healthcare bill, denying the lawsuit against it which reached its court. Lives are at stake, humanity to man is at stake! Partisan politics are wrong when it comes to helping our citizens.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bonnie Lamb

Governor Scott: Accept the law you swore to upholdHe turned down millions of dollars and refuses to set up insurance exchanges. The result: thousands in Florida will be deprived of medical care and the costs of providing care to people without insurance will keep getting moved onto you and me. This is illegal and immoral. We need to tell Gov. Scott to put politics aside and implement the law as he is sworn to do.24,638 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Levett

Tell Sean Parnell to enact the provisions of the ACA to benefit Alaskans in need.The expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act will cost Alaska nothing in the first 3 years, after which we will only cover 10% of the cost. Alaskans have huge medical expenses due to our geography. Our state needs additional protections--and expanded coverage is just the tip of the iceberg--but we have got to start somewhere. Please stand with your fellow Alaskans and demand your governor work for the people and not for his party.1,855 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Mason

Bobby Jindal - Give us the healthcare we deserve, implement ObamacareGovernor Jindal says he will refuse to set up healthcare exchanges in Louisiana. Louisiana had one of the highest rates of uninsured adults in the country because affordable healthcare is not available. People between the ages of 55 and 65, who have lost their jobs are were forced to retire early have no option due to ridiculous rates and the fact that Louisiana insurers either deny coverage because of pre-existing conditons or raise the rates beyond the reach of people on a limited budget.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Zeringue Rochford

Implement the new health care law now!Once again our Governor is on the wrong side of an issue that affects thousands of Wisconsonites: affordable health care. This is a purely political gesture that will put our state behind in giving relief to those that need it.12,086 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Al Kruger
