• Dental benefits for adults 21+ who hve Medicaid
    I'm here because I haven't been able to see the dentist in 5 years. I'm getting Medicaid through the state of Delaware and my Medicaid benefits states that children 21 years OR YOUNGER are eligible for dental benefits. Well I'm here fighting for those who NEED too see the dentist like myself. I go to a dentist office and they want $800.00 for 1 filling!!!! EXCUSE ME??!! I don't know about you but I can't push that amount, even with a job. I don't think it's fair, PLUS I think EVERYONE should be eligible to see the dentist. It's called personal hygiene people!!! IT'S A MUST! PLEASE HELP ME AND SIGN MY PETITION FOR DENTAL BENEFITS FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS MEDICAID. What I'm hoping for is mandatory 2 dental cleanings/year and up to $10,000.00 for all other work that needs to b done per year. I think that's pretty fair, so please help me into getting this approved please! Thank you in advance to ALL those who sign this petition. GOD BLESS YOU! Please help sign my petition ladies and gentlemen!!!

  • Restore Adult Medicaid Program in NJ
    Gov. Christie cut all state funding for health care as of March 2010 in NJ and only left what was funded by the Federal government, which means now only children are covered by NJ Family Care, no more parents. The only exception to this is people who are disabled or over 65. So many people are out of work in NJ and have no more health insurance from their jobs and cannot afford to buy private health insurance. I was told that the adults currently on NJ Family Care will be denied coverage when the time comes for them to renew.

  • Tell Congress to support medical liability reform
    This is urgently important. Not only do we, as patients, need to find a way to ensure "medicinal liability costs" don't cost us money, but we also need to make sure we can avoid losing our doctors (as well as our right to choose who we want to be seen by). H.R. 5 will help reduce the costs for health care (and the deficit will be reduced by this as well).

  • Make health flex-funds truly flexible.
    Funding a pre-tax health flex-fund is a gamble. If too little is set aside, there may not be funds to pay for health care. If too much is set aside, it is forfeited. Health care should not be a gamble. The solution is to make health care flex-funding freely adjustable.

  • Time for the Implementation of Single Payer/"Medicare for All" Health Insurance
    ALL AMERICANS will have health insurance coverage under Single Payer/"Medicare for All". It provides lifesaving/economic benefits for people, employers and health institutions, and competition for a currently unchallenged market. Retention of health insurance after job loss is a huge benefit. Purchase of private insurance optional. Healthcare is a right not a privilege.

  • Petition to Stop Mandatory Enrollment of People with Disabilities and Senior Citizens into Manage...
    Petition Summary: California currently has 1.9 million seniors and persons with disabilities who are enrolled in California’s Medicaid program (Medi-Cal). The majority of Seniors and People with Disabilities, are eligible for Medi-Cal and Medicare. The State of California has determined that the current financial and program structure for delivering health care Long Term Service and Support LTSS, that includes Home Community Based Services --- In Home Supportive Services to SPDs is fragmented. To address these issues, Governor Jerry Brown proposes as part of California’s 2012-13 budget, the (Managed) Care Coordination Initiative to integrate health care LTSS, Home Community Based Services --- In Home Supportive Services into Managed Care for all SPD’s who are dual eligible statewide beginning in January 2013. Managed Care in California has been an unsuccessful health policy, as it has contributed to higher health care costs of about 25-33% higher over current state spending. Managed Care will undermine patients' access to health care by: restricting patients' choice and access to physicians’ treatment and medication. Under Managed Care SPD’s may lose or receive inadequate home care services and hours. Finally they will no longer have the right to hire train set work schedules or fire their personal care attendance.

  • Stop Behavioralism and Pharmocology from ruining our country
    Psychiatry, behaviorlists, and big coorporations who create "disorders" and sell Drugs should be regulated. Allopathic medicine should be held in the same light as Integrative Medicine and Complimentary "Alternative" Medicine (CAM). This industry should be regulated by a panel of doctors from many methods of practice. This would enhance our countries Health Care programs and focus on Preventitive Health as well as overall lifestyle choices.

  • Speaker Howell: Help Protect Patients From Deadly Septic Shock Infection
    This petition is in hopes to acquire a law that requires every Virginia hospital to report all cases of the deadly blood infection known as Septic Shock. Most people have no idea the state of Virginia is not among the states that are required to collect or report any information regarding incidents of septic shock. My hope is if this petition is signed it might prevent some of the fatal traumatic incidents of Septic Shock at Virginia hospitals. I aquired this deadly infection while in a Virginia hospital and once I was released no one in the healthcare profession seemed to care. This is a scary thought because 40-50% of patients that acquire this blood infection die. This is an outrage! This fatal desease must be controlled to prevent further families from loosing love ones. Hospitals and staff should be held accountable for their mistakes.
