Currently 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.

Health 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.

Regarding House Bill 119 and how it will screw up Florida's Health Care System. If you are a LMT, P.T. D.O., D.C. and own/or work in a private medical facility. You will be affected directly sooner rather than later. The powers that be are trying to keep this under the radar as long as they can just for there own benefit not the benefit of the people. Just another freedom of choice that these non medical affiliates are trying to get rid of for there own financial gain. Research this for yourself and get involved now.

Currently many treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorders are denied or not covered by insurance companies. Passing SB 74 would allow children in Alaska who experience autism to receive the treatments they so desperately need to be healthy and fulfill their highest potential. SB 74 has been passed by the Alaska Senate, but it has been stalled in the Alaska House for the past three years. We have 34 days left in this legislative session and SB74 needs your help!

This "anit-abortion" legislature allows doctors to withhold medical information and diagnosis pertaining to the health of fetus and mother in any instance where the doctor feels the mother may chose abortion. This includes etopic pregnancy, and any other that could cause the death of the mother, etc.

Because of a shortfall in the General Fund, Alabama's Department of Mental Health will have to close the state hospitals caring for patients committed with severe mental illness and move the patients to local communities by September 30. Without enough time and money to prepare local facilities, we risk tragic consequences-- mainly death by suicide but also increases in crime and potentially homicide. We must call on our legislators to fully fund the DMH for our own safety and that of the patients.

Govenor Rick Scott has led the battle to get rid of alternative healthcare availability to people who have been in a car accident. He has given absolute power to the car insurance companies to limit your care telling you where to get it, from whom and what care you will be getting. $10,000 in Florida is no more he cut your benefits down to $2500 BUT you will still pay your full premiums for insurance! Sound unconstitutional? I think so...

By signing this petition, you can bring some sanity to Washington State. Instead of paying tens of millions of dollars on psychiatric treatment that doesn't work, we could be putting that money into our schools or other important areas. You will also be forcing the government to provide the kind of mental health care that cures people instead of simply attempting to suppress their symptoms with man-made drugs.

SOME SERIOUS INJURIES PEOPLE SHOULDNT HAVE TO WAIT FOR 24 MONTHS FOR THEIR MEDICARE TO GO INTO AFFECT . ALL THAT DOES IS PUT THEM ON A SET BACK INSTEAD OF MOVING FORWARD AND GETTING THE HELP THAT THEY NEED INSTEAD OF THE STATE OF MEDICAID PUT THEM ON A REDICULOUS SHARE OF COST THAT SOME PEOPLE CANT MEET EVERY MONTH. I AN EXAMPLE MY WIFE HAD AN ANEURYSM BURST IN HER BRAIN AND SHE HAS TO WAIT 24 MONTHS FOR HER MEDICARE TO GO INTO AFFECT , AND THE HELP THAT SHE GETS ITS MEDICAID WITH A SHARE OF COST OF 1953.00 A MONTH IS THIS SHARE OF COST DONT GET MET EVERY MONTHS NO DOCTOR OR SPECIALIST WILL SEE HER . IF THIS WAITING PERIOD WAS OF THE CONGRESS INSTEAD OF BEING HELD DOWN SHE OR ANYONE COULD HAVE MOVE FORWARD WITH ALL THERE MEDICAL NEEDS

The Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies Act (SB 283/HB 419) and The Act for Our Children’s Future (SB 232/HB 338) are two common sense initiatives to prevent unintended pregnancy and infections in our state population; thereby saving taxpayer money, preventing the need for abortion, and making our future generation healthier all around.

The Governor and state legislature of Indiana are trying to prevent access to the Affordable Care Act. They are denying the State of Indiana an opportunity to become a healthier and more productive state by preventing access to this health care plan. This is just one example of many coordinated attacks by our State Government on Indiana’s middle class!

Most Hospitals that perform Living Donor Liver Transplants will allow a healthy individual that meets all other health, age, and lifestyle requirements to donate a portion off their liver to a needy recipient. In fact, there are many non-profit organizations, services, and websites that exist to match donors and recipients. This saves thousands of lives each year. Stanford University Hospital is an exception. The policy stated on page 6 of the Liver Transplant Program handbook states that "A potential donor must: Have an established relationship with the recipient". This is costing thousands of people their lives every year because they cannot utilize the programs out there to find a donor due to this policy. Please sign this petition to tell Stanford Hospital to please consider changing their policy, thus saving thousands of lives in the process.
