  • Tell Congress: We need health care, not Trumpcare!
    When Rohrabacher and House Republicans celebrated their vote to pass Trumpcare, tens of millions of Americans feared for the future of their families. The GOP plan would lead to higher premiums, higher deductibles, less health coverage, and reduced access for those who are already sick.

  • I support birth control access for all women
    From Huffington Post (5/31/17): A draft of the Trump administration’s new birth control coverage exemption has leaked, and it is far more wide-reaching than had been predicted. The new rule amends the Obama administration’s coverage requirement to allow any employer, school or insurance company to opt out of covering contraception due to any moral or religious objection, Vox reported Wednesday. Even massive for-profit companies with no religious affiliation will be able to deny birth control coverage to their female employees. “This rule would mean women across the country could be denied insurance coverage for birth control on a whim from their employer or university,” said Dana Singiser, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood. “It makes a farce of the Trump administration’s so-called ‘women’s empowerment’ agenda and endangers a woman’s ability to make the most basic and personal of decisions ― when and if to have a child.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/birth-control-contraception-trump_us_592ed9e7e4b0e09b11ec93c7?bb&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

  • A Screen, A New Way to Talk to Someone About How You're Feeling
    Mental health is a huge topic which many people are affected by. My proposal is for a screen to be provided as an option for a barrier to talk to someone about their mental health issues without feeling as awkward.

  • Governor Cuomo: Health Alert to all Women and Children !
    We don't need to sacrifice our health or the health of our daughters to have pretty nails. The noxious fumes of acrylic monomer nail enhancements are a warning bell of their toxicity. There are now safe nail polish products that can give us the beautiful nails we want without exposing us to the poisonous chemicals in Acrylic monomer enhancements. Research has shown that acrylic fumes may cause cancer, birth defects, upper respiratory diseases, lung damage, skin and eye irritation and nail destruction. Babies, pregnant women, children, nail technicians, clients, students, and instructors are all at risk. BAN ACRYLIC MONOMER ENHANCEMENTS!!!!

  • Oppose HR 1953: Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of 2017
    I am a survivor of institutional abuse and aversive therapy. I believe no public money should be used to abuse, falsely imprison, and torture Americans. I am the co-founder of HEAL and I work with many individuals diagnosed with eating disorders who have been tortured in behavioral health facilities. This bill, introduced by Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-MN) will divert public funds to fraud and abuse and must be rejected by the House, Senate, and vetoed by the President if it reaches his desk. You can read the full text of the bill here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1953/text

  • Gov. Inslee: Washington Needs Single Payer
    Too many people in Washington are uninsured or under-insured. A catastrophic illness, the birth of a child, or a surgery can bankrupt a family. It is time to join the rest of the civilized world and demand health care as a right for all.

  • Protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
    I'm starting this petition because as a disabled person and a person who's parents are receiving social security, I feel that these issues are not a privilege but a right for people who have worked all their entire lives. I have worked for over 30 years and I put into social security and medicare. We should help this poor, the sick and our children.

  • Add your name: Protect access and affordability for those with preexisting conditions
    While Washington is voting to repeal and deny health coverage for millions with preexisting conditions, we must take bold steps to ensure Florida is always a place where people can access the care they need. We must fight to protect those with cancer, diabetes, asthma, and other conditions. We can't go back to the days when people were denied coverage or forced to pay more because of a preexisting condition — or because they're a woman.

  • Tell Ohio Legislators to Protect Patient Care - End the Unsafe Practice of Mandatory Overtime for...
    Across Ohio, patient care is put at risk because hospitals force nurses to work 14, 16, and even 24 hour shifts because of inadequate nurse staffing, putting their profits above patient care. Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, and research shows that nurses who are fatigued because of lengthy shifts are at an increased risk of making an error. Other professions, such as airplane pilots, truck drivers and train engineers, have laws surrounding their hours of work because of public safety concerns. Yet nurses, who have patient lives in their hands, can be forced to work around the clock - a practice that can lead to deadly consequences. Eighteen other states recognize the importance of protecting patient care by preventing nurse fatigue through laws that make the dangerous practice of mandatory overtime illegal. It’s time Ohio joins these other states in protecting the healthcare of its citizens. Let's tell Ohio legislators that patients, and nurses, deserve better! Ohio's citizens deserve quality care!
