Diabetes is a common condition and some people are needing to ration their dosage due to the high costs and are dying as a result. I care about this issue and want to create change. Please sign this petition to support bills in the House and Senate to cap the cost of prescription insulin.

Trevor needs this formula to live a normal life. There is absolutely no way for him to function, work or otherwise enjoy his life without it. We have fought this and fought this and made zero ground with insurance companies because there is no state law requiring them to provide coverage. The cost of formula out of pocket with no coverage is more than most people’s mortgage and it’s so unjust that something just as necessary as insulin for a diabetic is putting such a stress on our life. The PKU law in Nevada has not been updated since 1997 and it is very very necessary that it be revisited. As newer Nevada residents, it’s very discouraging that we can’t get coverage on something so life-altering. We are very hardworking people and it is outrageous that the amount we pay for health insurance doesn’t include the cost of formula. PLEASE HELP!

My mother is a retired school teacher with Alzheimer’s disease. Because of her condition, she needs constant supervision. After much consideration for my mother’s care and safety, I found it necessary to place her in an assisted living facility. Imagine the “sticker shock” that I experienced about the prices of assisted living vs. nursing home care!! I chose a small assisted living facility that specializes in dementia care. I have made a great family of friends at the facility. However, some of the residents are running out of money and after years in assisted living will be forced to move into nursing homes. I, too have this fear. WV Medicaid needs to help our dementia families get the specialized care that they truly deserve!! Let’s face it, none of us are getting any younger and we might need the State’s help someday! Let’s make a change and speak up, West Virginia 💜

Know anyone taking care of an aging family member or older adult? Yeah. So do we. In fact, there are 16 million caregivers providing 18 billion hours in unpaid care for those affected by the disease. It is estimated that 25% of these individuals are millennials. Presidential candidates need to express this issue as a national priority and do more to provide solutions for Alzheimer's and young caregivers. More about YMAA at www.theyouthmovement.org

Curtailing family planning services for low-income Idahoans on Medicaid (i.e., women) is obstructive, discriminatory, and contrary to Idaho voters' Medicaid expansion initiative.

So others who are in risk of going into a crisis with Myasthenia Gravis or any other critical illness can be provided with better options in order to save their lives. Yes, I am a 26-year survival of MG.

Patients with medically documented needs for management of chronic, non-cancer, and non-terminal pain are being denied the only pharmaceutical products in the formulary which are effective for many of them…legitimate pain patients and veterans are suffering to the point of committing suicide due to government regulations which deny them access to healthcare for no other reason than a medication they take is something sold by a criminal element and abused by others sick with the disease of addiction

The Medical Center’s actions set a dangerous precedent by disciplining those responsible for representing and communicating the concerns of the nurses. As front-line healthcare providers, it’s a nurse’s responsibility to report unsafe working conditions and detriments to optimal patient care. If nurses cease to advocate for their patients for fear of losing their jobs or nursing licenses, the patients and thus the community are done a disservice with potentially dangerous outcomes. Nurses’ voices are paramount to ensuring safe patient care and their legal right as union members to advocate for changes to their wages and working conditions. Sign the petition to tell UCMC HR Director Rick Lofgren and UCMC board members to put Jennifer Donaldson back to work, rescind the discipline for Michelle Thoman, and respect the nurses of UCMC’s right to advocate for their patients, their community and for themselves. Jennifer Donaldson, the fired nurse, was a 28-year Labor and Delivery nurse with no history of disciplinary action. In November 2018, her husband fell and severely broke his leg requiring immediate surgery. He contracted a surgical-site infection and MERSA and has undergone five additional surgeries. Prior to her termination, Jennifer Donaldson was the sole breadwinner, provider of healthcare coverage, and caretaker to her husband.

HIV Decriminalization in the State of Nevada in the United States of America. (Even if necessary, a referendum to reverse current State of Nevada statute). As a long term survivor living with HIV, "It is my HIV body, my HIV choice" for Human and Civil Rights in HIV decriminalization.

I'm a medical patient I have family and friends who are patients in need of more medical marijuana the limit of 8 ounces every 3 months isn't enough a lot of the people I know are hitting there limit within a month and the people that can't hit there limit can't because they don't make enough so I think we need discounted bud sales and to be able to buy a half or ounce Ohio deserves to be able to smoke it not have to vape it they should just have to warn us of the concerns of putting fire to bud but it should be our choice like all the other states

I am a teen that lives in a small town in Virginia. I personally vaccinated but wish to help fellow VA minors become vaccinated themselves if they have parents that do not allow them to do so.

Bristol-Myers Squibb wants to spend $74 billion to buy out a rival, Celgene. It would be the largest pharmaceutical merger ever, and their consolidation would give the combined companies number one positions in oncology and cardiovascular drug sales. But there's something we can do to stop this mega-merger. We've seen what happens when big pharmaceutical companies merge -- drug prices soar. It happened to the Epi-Pen. It happened with arthritis drugs. It even happened with insulin. As patients, we bear the ever-increasing costs and many of us can't afford to keep paying and paying. Several of us depend on our prescriptions to stay alive, and nobody should have to choose between a roof over their head and the drugs they need to thrive. The Federal Trade Commission must listen to comments from the public before approving the merger. Here is our chance to speak up. This mega-merger will block the development and sale of affordable drugs and reduce competition just when we need more of it. We can't sit by and let Big Pharma get even bigger, at our expense. Take action and tell the FTC to protect patients by stopping this potential merger now.
