  • Members of congress must give up their health care plan before voting to undo the nations's unive...
    Any member of congress who would like to vote to undo the health care law ("Obama care") must first give up his/her congressional health care and obtain his/her own health care elsewhere. It would be cynical in the extreme for them to keep their plan whilst denying the American people the universal health care that the law provides.

  • Investigate Health Insurance Companies
    Health Insurance Corporations are charging more and providing less to the insured. Each year people are noticing the loss of benefits, more restrictions, less medication coverage and "drive through" surgeries. Why accept this? Most people, especially the elderly are being held hostage by Health Insurance monopolies. We need to challenge them and investigate them!!

  • doctors getting away with murder in flordia
    I am writing to ask for your support to revise Malpractice Statue Chapter 766. This law does not help protect your constituents, because it does not hold bad doctors and other health workers accountable. This law also does not give family members a peace of mind nor justice if the decease person is an adult that is not married and does not have a child under the age of 26. I'm writing on behalf of my deceased mother, Christine Wright Thomas. On Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 6:37am, my siblings and I watched my mother lose her life in front of our eyes at her bedside. This was such a shock to her friends and family because her primary care physician Dr. Monica Walker and Columbia Hospital diagnosed her with a stomach virus and two days later she was dead. My mother did all she could have done to seek medical professional help. The medical system failed my mother and now she is dead because she did not receive the proper care and diagnosis. If we cannot get help from our doctors, where are we supposed to seek proper medical treatment? No one should have to suffer this long when they pursued medical help several times.

  • California: Stop Federal Abuse on Marijuana law
    California has been supporting the use of medical marijuana facilities, and has been coming closer to a limited legalization for the public use. The federal government, with limited support from President Obama, has been going to extremes in order to eliminate the medical marijuana dispensaries. Obama has the power to make alrterations in the system to at least save the large legal market of dispensaries, and protect our state in the separation of powers.

  • Medical Insurance
    Medical insurance brokers should be shut down. They are taking all the money from doctors and people like me who try to stay well, yet pay exorbitant monthly fees just in case something bad might happen. If everyone stopped paying for their policies, the brokers would go broke. That's the first step towards affordable medical care.
