"In New Jersey, the number of children in pre-kindergarten through high school who cited religion as an excuse to avoid vaccines grew from 1,641 in the 2005-06 academic year to just under 14,000 in the 2018-19 year. Of these, 8,348 children were enrolled in pre-kindergarten, according to state Department of Education data." - nj.com Parents citing religious concerns as a reason to not vaccinate their children is rapidly becoming more widespread in our state. This is being framed as a "personal / medical choice" issue; however, it is a public health issue. Until 2018, measles was all but gone in North America; now there are outbreaks in California and right here in NJ. Measles, which is often framed as a "harmless childhood disease", can have serious complications, including lifelong disabilities and pneumonia (which can lead to death). This is especially true if someone sick with measles is malnourished or immunocompromised. The bill is not about "forced vaccines". The bill is about making sure that children who are at higher risk due to lack of vaccination, are not spreading VPD (vaccine-preventable diseases) to other peoples' children. It is about protecting some of the most vulnerable members of our population, such as kids who are immunocompromised and legitimately can't receive vaccines. Ideally, this bill will open up further dialogue between parents and doctors, so that healthcare providers can better answer parents' questions and assist them in determining what is reliable information and what is not. The anti-vaccination crowd has come out in full force in NJ, harassing legislators and making verbal / digital personal attacks. The protesting outside Senate has been so loud that you can barely hear what's going on inside the building. The bill has been dropped once already and passed over yesterday as lawmakers have caved to the hysteria and bullying. We can't simply let this go. The medical community is overwhelmingly in favor of vaccines. And this is who we should be listening to - not conspiracy theorists and Del Bigtree. I think it is also important to note, that there are almost no major religions that object to vaccinations. The vaccines manufactured and given now are very far away from the aborted fetal cell lines that they were once grown in. (See second link at the bottom for an article / example of this from a Christian viewpoint). This is not a slippery slope and it's not about taking away our freedom. Parental fear and misinformation does not supercede a child's right to a healthy life. Other states have done this; now it's our turn. Support bills A3818 and S2173. We have laws about child car seats. It's time to toughen up the laws about childhood immunization and keep NJ's vaccine rates high. Children have the right to be protected against disease. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41390-019-0354-3 https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/what-christians-should-know-vaccines/

Many patients reporting problems at thyroid patient advocate sites and other have experienced return of hypo symptoms (some hyper, some mixed) with batches of NP received in 2019, particularly summer of 2019. In many cases , changes experienced were supported by laboratory evaluation. While some patients have been contacted directly as result of their reporting of problems, the patient community overall would like an explanation and plan of corrective action. We depend on NP Acella a/o other dessicated thyroid meds for life and quality of life.

We are public servants who provide services to the disabled in Wayne County and are seriously concerned about the disabled not receiving much needed services.

Saving the lives of children from being vaccinated from a shot for HPV that causes cervical cancer in women! Most vaccines are to prevent contagious illness! HPV is not contagious!

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
