Stop KanCare. Keep $3 billion in Kansas.Kansas Governor Sam Brownback wants to implement KanCare, a program that will shift the long-term care of Kansans with intellectual disabilities from the Kansas Medicaid program to out-of-state, for-profit insurance companies by awarding a $3-billion contract to private insurance companies. Governor Brownback and his Lieutenant Governor Jeff Coyle continue to insist that KanCare will save the state money despite evidence to the contrary. Families and professionals have voiced concerns over this plan. There is no proof that for-profit insurance companies can do the job or will deliver the services needed. There is no adequate recourse for the state of Kansas or the families concerned if the for-profit insurance companies do not deliver the level of services needed. This petition is to ask former Governor and current Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to intervene on behalf of Kansans with intellectual disabilities, their families and their service providers to stop the implementation of KanCare by January 2013. By signing this petition you are asking for help for the Kansans with intellectual disabilities who do not have the cognitive skills or communication skills to help themselves.1,688 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Madeline McCullough

DO NOT CUT FUNDS FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE!Sufficient care for mental health patients is a matter of life and death, not only that of the patient, but of their family, friends and the community at large. The death of a New Orleans Police Woman at the hands of a mental health patient released into the community without medications is one of many cases. If we wish to cut our murder rate, we should not cut mental health funds!172 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Roselyn Leonard

Fire Rush LimbaughRush Limbaugh's verbal assault on Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke, calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute," was intended to do one thing: intimidate women who would dare to speak out for their reproductive freedom and private health matters. His show should be canceled so that Wenatchee is not exposed to the harmful and violent comments.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jan Albin-Bullock

WFSX: Get rid of Rush LimbaughWe are losing civilized discourse on political discussion. Rush Limbaugh has turned Talk Radio into Hate Radio. We need to raise our standard to a level where there is no room for name calling, obscenity, racism, or sexism.711 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Deborah Low

KDJI Holbrook: Take Rush Limbaugh off the airRush Limbaugh really overstepped the bounds this time when he called Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute and demanded to see a sex video of her--merely because she was going to testify in front of Congress concerning the role of birth control in women's health, specifically its use in treating ovarian cysts.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Bean

Women's HealthThe isssue of women's health, contraception, reproductive choice are very important and we serve no good purpose by removing these -it is not a real solution to anything merely pandering to an extemist religous minority.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexis Fasolka

Mr. President, Please helpPeople are dying because our laws allow someone to abuse drugs/ alcohol without an mandatory rehab intervention. I want to see a law passed that will require a person who has 3 documented hospital/ jail visits related to alcohol and or drug abuse to complete a 28 day rehab program. My Mother just passed away after being in ICU 5 times, where alcohol abuse was brought to their attention, since Oct 2011, I was told by a case manager that my Mom had the right to drink her self to death! Well she did just that, and I pleaded and pleaded with these hospitals to help her but each time she was able to walk out. Doctors said that she was of sound mind and was able to make her own decisions. I agree, but you cant be of sound mind drinking your self to death. She died 3/13/2012.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Summer

Legalize Medical Marijuana in MassachusettsCurrently people with conditions such and M.S., Cancer, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety are forced to take percription medication with far more side effects then marijuana. Not to mention the addiction rate. If more people were precribed medical marijuana it would take a large amount of the percription street drugs out of the picture.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Farney

Reasonable Health Care costsHealth Care should not cost someone more than a reasonable amount of thier rake home income. HUD says housing should cost 30% of your income, well we need something for health care. People should not wind up homeless to not die.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dawn Schneider
