Governor Kasich signed Ohio HB487 declaring it no longer requires Social Workers in Long term care Facilities with less than 120 beds. It is described as loosening the regulations for Nursing Homes. Apparently we are taking a huge step backward in caring for our elderly... again placing Psychosocial needs of people behind. Now Nursing Facilities will be free to hire untrained staff to address these areas.... all in an effort to save a few dollars of profit for the for-profit healthcare industrial complex. Because we certainly know Social Workers salaries break the bank!!!!

This is a petition opposing Michigan House Bills 5669, 5670, 5671 and 5672, also known as Medical Malpractice Reform Bills or Patients First Reform Package. The most concerning aspect of this reform package is House Bill 5670, which states in part that an individual will not be found liable for medical malpractice if the individual "exercises professional judgment if the person acts with a reasonable and good-faith belief that the person's conduct is both well-founded in medicine and in the best interest of the patient". As patients we trust and hold our physicians to high standards and believe that they follow well-established standards of medical care. This provision would set aside those standards of care for a highly subjective determination of the "reasonableness" of conduct based upon it being "well-founded in medicine" as well as "in the best interests of the patient". This bill allows doctors to avoid meritorious lawsuits, and it is tantamount to saying, ‘I’m a good driver, I didn’t mean to hurt anyone and I was using my best judgment’ after causing a car accident.' What matters is whether you caused the accident.

This petition is to clearly state the opposition of the proposed GAS STATION on Glenwood Rd. in the Glenmar, Meadowdale, and other community associations in the South DeKalb area. The property is located on the corner of Glenmar and Glenwood Rd. (old carwash). We now have over twenty (20) establishments in our neighborhood that sales alcohol, drug paraphernalia, (Black & Mild) single cigarettes, etc. As a result of these businesses the Status of Health in our Neighborhood has suffered long enough.

Doctor attempts character assassination on 90 year old, delays treatment of thyroid overtaken by potentially cancerous nodules, denies right of choice for needed specialist referral, and convinces his employer to back him up.

On Monday, Robin Roberts told viewers she has a new health challenge, called Myelodysplastic Syndrome or MDS. This is a rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow and usually arises on its own. MDS is a malignant disorder of the bone marrow. According to the NIH, approximately 18,000 people develop MDS each year but only several hundred are as a result of cancer treatment. MDS can affect all of the cells in our blood. Robin Roberts is the co-anchor of ABC's Good Morning America. We would like all ofher fans to leave an encouraging message for her on this Get Well card.

The McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945, exempts health insurance companies from the Federal anti-trust legislation that applies to other businesses. What does this mean to the rest of us? It means that despite anything else that is said by either politicians or the health care insurance industry, about containing the ever-skyrocketing cost of health care, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Nothing will change, because this exemption gives the insurance companies the power to fix prices, fix bids for contracts with employers, and restrict markets. Until McCarran-Ferguson is repealed, and there is true competition in the health care insurance industry (whether that is between private companies or includes a public entity) there will be no real reform in our health care cost system. Please join me in demanding the repeal of the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945. Thank you.

North Carolina is one of only five states that still requires nurse midwives to practice under the supervision of a physician. These laws have no scientific or medical justification and limit access to health care and women's reproductive rights. I am a home birth certified nurse midwife in North Carolina, and because of this law, I am unable to provide care to women choosing home birth.
