Obamacare was landmark legislation that provided health care for millions who didn't have health care. It promised to be affordable health care. Unfortunately, an insufficient number of healthy younger people didn't sign up, so deductibles and premiums went up. Some insurance companies left the insurance market. Consequently, it became unaffordable for many. From Day 1, Republicans were opposed to Obamacare and ran for election promising to repeal and replace Obamacare. It was good campaign rhetoric but hollow governance rhetoric. After seven years and with Senate and House majorities, a Republican President couldn't govern effectively. There was no plan. The American Health Care Act, intended to repeal and replace Obamacare, failed to get enough Republican votes to pass it. The far right House Republicans revolted. The concessions intended to satisfy the far right demands caused some moderate Republicans to revolt. Republicans have signaled that a bi-partisan bill might be passed. Good quality health care should be available to everyone. Health care access should not be dependent on a person's economic status. It's time for some real governance after years of malgovernance by both parities. House, Senate, and White House leadership is required. The ship of state has been buffeted by winds from the far right and far left far too long. Get it on a steady course. Put American First in action, not just words. Find the common ground needed to put America First. Update and repair Obamacare now!

Pennsylvania has more Lyme an tick-borne infections than any other state, but has few doctors who treat chronic Lyme, with about 20% of patients being chronic. Insurance companies deny payment for long-term treatment, relying on infectious disease guidelines, no longer in effect, having been removed by the National Institute of Guidelines. PA doctors fear losing their licenses for treating Lyme disease long term. PA Senate Bill 100 protects doctors and requires insurance company pay for all prescribed Lyme diease treatment. The bill is in the Insurance & Banking Committee chaired by Sen. Donald C. White, who refuses to let this Bill out of committee, since he is in the insurance industry. Please contact Sen. White at Senate Box 203041, Harrisburg PA 17120-3041 at 717-787-8724 to support this Bill. If you're a PA, contact your state senator, as well, and urge him/her to pressure Sen. White to bring this bill to the full senate , where it will pass. Thank you, Peggy Boyce Furey, mother of son afflicted with chronic Lyme disease.

Because we need to move forward to make sure all Americans can receive the right to healthcare.

After trying for less than 3 weeks to “fix” health care with a draconian bill, the President has given up. His Plan B is to let the ACA explode. This is irresponsible and violates his Oath of Office. If the ACA collapses, it will be because the President is aggressively taking action to undermine it. He issued an Exec Order (13765) in January saying that because he is seeking “prompt repeal” of the ACA, agencies should waive, defer or delay its enforcement. Agencies have: •Refused to enforce the tax penalty on people who don’t buy health insurance. •Destabilized the program by pulling ads to encourage sign ups. •Cut funding where possible. EO 13765 needs to be revoked. Its premise—ACA’s prompt repeal—is no longer valid. More importantly, the Administration needs to enforce and support the ACA. IT IS THE LAW.

This is a simple answer and we would all feel like we are part of our democracy

As a taxpayer, a voter and a consumer of medical care, I believe that the people who choose our health and medical choices should only have the same choices and costs that their constituents have.

They are trying to destroy our vibrant workforce, our healthcare, and our environment, and our cultural heritage with their greed.

'Access' to healthcare means nothing when you cannot afford it. Changes to our healthcare system over the years have helped some while hurting others, and the plans currently proposed to replace the ACA will just continue that cycle of inadequacy. Now is the time to push for a Medicare-for-All system which takes the economic burden of providing healthcare off of employers, gives employees the freedom to pursue career opportunities without losing their insurance, and ensures that every American will feel secure in the fact that they can get the medical care they need without facing the prospect of financial catastrophe.

Everyone has been affected by the outrageous cost of prescription medications, including even generic medicines. It is very important to increase the cost-effectiveness of prescription writing in the USA while maintaining very high-quality access. This petition will support that goal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/340B_Drug_Pricing_Program

To prioritize our tax dollars towards health care.

There are millions of Americans like myself who run a serious risk if their healthcare is interrupted. Congress' new plan is a financial and immoral mistake.

One of the many benefits of being a Member of Congress is that they can choose from among the very best insurance plans in the ACA, with extremely high government subsidies. They have 57 Gold Tier plans to choose from. They receive subsidies of 72 to 75 percent toward their premiums. And, among many other benefits, they also get FREE MEDICAL CARE on any military base in the world. But we don't know exactly how much our elected officials pay, out of pocket, for those insurance plans--nor do we know the extent of their coverage. Before they pick OUR coverage and out-of-pocket costs, shouldn't THEY be required to disclose theirs? SIGN THIS PETITION IF YOU AGREE.
