Save Norwegian American Hospital!Safety-Net hospitals like Norwegian American Hospital, are completely reliant on Medicaid funding from the hospital assessment program which is set to expire in June.

We need your help to send a message to Springfield that any cuts to Medicaid funding will negatively impact jobs and patient care.709 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Nancy Clarke

Opioid Addiction in Utah | Daggett CountyOpioid misuse, addiction, overdose and death have become an epidemic in America. In fact, over the past 15 years, the nation's opioid epidemic has claimed more than 250,000 lives, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the last year alone, nearly 30,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses. In Utah, state data from 2015 found that 24 Utahns per month — or nearly one person every day — died from an overdose. Between 2011 - 2016, Salt Lake County saw the greatest total number of overdose deaths, with 638. Utah County was second with 259, followed by 184 in Weber County, 133 in Davis County, 37 in Cache and 14 in Washington County. We are hoping you would join your neighboring counties with a resolution to take legal action against Big Pharma.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by CSRJ

Injured workers in New York say #NoCutstoComp this Holiday SeasonNew York State Workers’ Compensation Board: Thank you for listening to the tens of thousands of petitions, letters, calls, and comments, the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board and withdrawing the harmful proposal to cuts on workers’ compensation. This November 22nd, 2017 set of proposed guidelines eliminates the prior proposals around company-assigned doctors; the list of injuries that would no longer be covered; and the 97% benefit cuts for some injuries. The new set of proposed guidelines does what democracy should and meaningfully responds to the widespread opposition to benefit cuts from injured workers, elected officials, labor unions, community organizations, and attorneys and eliminated their widespread cuts to the system. Despite the significant improvements to the previous proposal, we continue to have concerns around some reductions that should be eliminated from your proposals. The recent proposal, despite its many improvements, also includes potential cuts on knee, hip, and shoulder replacements. While these cuts are not drastic in number, they are significant for every injured worker who has the misfortune of being injured on the job with these injuries that have been reduced by up to 25 percent. We urge the Board to consider eliminating any and all cuts to injured workers in this current proposal; any cut, regardless of how slight, should never be a consideration. Thank you again for listening to our comments, and thank you in particular to Chair Clarissa Rodriguez for your hard work in creating a proposal that works for New Yorkers. We will continue to advocate for a workers’ compensation system that works for all injured workers, including low-wage workers and immigrant workers with limited English capacity. We hope you will join us as we work to create a better system for all New Yorkers.1,050 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Art Wilcox

CVS spent $32.5MM to kill DEA's anti-opioid toolI am appalled that a company would spend lavishly in their self-interest to defeat the government's most effective tool to combat the opioid crisis. I hold them partially responsible for the misery and crisis of the opioid epidemic because they put profit ahead of country.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by NIck Folger

Stop XanaxAs a young women, who has personally struggled with Xanax addiction, I have seen many, too many, people die from this drug. I also struggle with anxiety and I strongly believe there are other, better, ways to treat anxiety.
