BC/BS AZ...STOP HEALTH INSURANCE RATE INCREASES!!BC/BS Arizona health insurance rates have increased at an alarming rate. Far too many Arizonans are left without coverage and without medical care. This has become epidemic in our State. Please read this petition and help to bring attention to this dire situation that, at best, results in untreated illness and lost work time; and, in worst-case scenarios, disability, bankruptcy, and even death.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donna Lomeo

Restore EPIC -Sick Seniors need Epic. If we have to rely on the Bush Donut Hole, we can not buy our medication. Epic was one thing the state republicans gave us & now a Democratic Governor wants to take it away. Yet the Governor is more concerned in protecting the super wealthy & not the elderly poor & sick.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Floss Shahbegian

Religious FreedomIt is asking the Pope to stop interferring with the religous freedom of non-Catholics who work for Catholic institutions. By refusing to provide birth-control for non-Catholic employees, he is interferring with the rights of people who feel a sincere spiritual and religious responsibility to limit population growth on this planet, and to make sure that they only give birth to children for whom they can provide.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen Lehr

Single-payer NYThe waste and inefficiency of for-profit and non-profit insurance based care can be remodeled into a single-payer system based on the VT model. Healthcare will be unlinked from its current employer based system, and Medicaid will be rolled into one healthcare model, lowering property taxes and healthcare costs.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Lloyd

Discrimination against women in the provision of health care should be a violation of federal law.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Judith Colbert

Medicare Coverage for Omni Pod insulin PumpThe Complications from high untreated blood sugars are very costly: Blindness,Kidney Failure,gangrene from an untreated cut or scratch that does not heal because of the high sugars,this can lead to amputation and long,expensive hospital stays! Low blood sugars can lead to a person passing out, High sugars can lead to DKA (Diabetic Keto Acidosis) that usually requires inpatient treatment after a trip to the Emergency Room!! The Omni Pod is a tubeless pump that is easy to use and allows one to manage their Blood Sugars much better! This Petition is to have Congress l"LEAVE MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY ALONE!" and allow us the great benefits of the Omni Pod. The Congress needs to change the wording on the Omni Pod to make it a durable item! They also need to change the Code numbers that they have assigned: Pod A 9274 and PDME 0784! to code numbers that make the Omni Pod a durable item! This will be a lot less costly than Medicare having to cover complications that could have easily been prevdented!6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jean Devlin Haight
