• 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.

  • DENTAL CARE FOR ALL
    I see too many people who are in need of dental care. Teeth not cared for can actually cause death. It's a terrible thing to see woman especially , who feel so bad about their teeth. It's not like this in European countries. I think we should support the dental schools, like UCLA School of Dentistry, by Allowing people to come to them for prepaid dental care.

  • Health Care For Everyone - For FREE
    Obamacare is not enough. We are the ONLY 1st World country that does NOT mandate cradle-to-grave health care as an Inalienable Right. The Declaration of Independence says, "...Life , Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"! GOP-ers are IGNORING this Right of Citizens to a HEALTHY Life. Please Demand SINGLE PAYER Health Care for EVERYONE!

  • Recognize HTLV as a public health threat
    HTLV is rampantly spreading because of lack of public awareness, education, and medical testing. Just as HIV testing is recommended as part of a regular medical exam, so should HTLV testing.

  • Feel The Pain: Zero Health Benefits for Federal Judges and Legislators
    Contingent upon the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, this petition would call for a national referendum on the repeal of health and other benefits for federal legislators (congressmen and senators) and the federal judiciary (all federal judges including Supreme Court justices. Among other effects, this initiative would require that all legislators and judges purchase health insurance on the significantly more expensive individual insurance market if they choose to remain insured.

  • GMO labeling
    Americans care about what's in their food. It is important to know cuz of allergy. We all have a right to know whether our food has been genetically engineered so we can make informed decisions about what we eat or feed our families. In fact, against the backdrop of a deeply divided nation, polls show that more than 92 percent of Americans agree on labeling GMOs.
