ObamaCare Medicaid Funding for Wisconsin

All bills submitted to Congress (both HR and HS) should, on every paragraph, be annotated with the names of the authors of that paragraph.

Personal Background: I have been personally and professionaly involved since childhood. I am now age 68. My daughter has a genetic terminal illness. My former wife died of the disease. My granddaughter is at 50% risk now, etc. I have worked nearly all of my life regarding the basic needs of those with severe disability, both physical and mental. I have been involved at the direct Presedential Input level, and have provided significant "hands on" testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee, Senate Finance Committee, and The U.S. Supreme Court level (through a "Slip Decision" from the Senate to the Court) regarding treatment for those with severe disability. I was also one of the initial writers of the American's with Disability Act (ADA) and I designed a natioally implimented system (through GSA) to make government buildings accessible to those with severe physical disability.

The Congress of the United States must use the true majority vote to run our Governement. We have ALL suffered due to the rules which allow a 60% 'majority'. It is unconscionable in the United States of America...to use this false majority as a way to protect the people of this Country. It is also an unethical way to run our Government...when one small, group of people can block any and all progress which is crucial to the governing of the United States of America.

My annual salary has been drastically cut although my taxes have helped out everybody but me. I feel this country needs to be all for one and one for all. So far we the people of the working poor have cut back as far as we can. Its time for the upper crust of this country to have its share of cut backs. Where is the jobs from the Bush tax cuts?

These cuts can only be stopped by us taxpayers.

The war against Afghanistan will have ended in 2014 when the last US soldiers pull out. We will no longer be at war with Afghanistan, and it seems to me that we can no longer hold prisoners from that war, and under the Geneva Convention, they must be released.

On April 10th, the Civil Service Commission held a public hearing on a rule proposal to eliminate civil service as we know it. The rule proposal bypasses the legislature and contract negotiations to "broad band" civil service titles, rewrite promotional rules, and eliminate or limit important protections like veteran preference, testing and ranking on lists, and layoff rights. Take action to ensure this rule isn't rubber-stamped after a single hearing! Make sure thousands of public employees and hundreds of thousands of residents can weigh in to shape or stop this rule. The “broad bands” of job titles would allow management at all levels of government (State, County, and Municipal) in the Civil Service System to group numerous job titles in large “bands.” Employers could hire, demote, or advance employees to jobs within the “band” based solely on management's assessment of your competency - without objective testing or lists. Even worse is the manner in which the Commission is trying to do this. They are only allowing one hearing on these changes—at 3pm on a work day when most workers and residents can not attend the hearing. Despite the fact that thousands of public employees would be harmed by the rule, the hearing room only holds 20 people. The Christie Administration wants to silence public input and push this change through with a rubber stamp after one meeting. We need to mobilize to stop it. We are organizing public comment opposing the rule but the first step is to get the Commission to hold a real public hearing process.

We need to move treatment plant from school areas.

I run my own holistic wellness center, many people NEED the services we provide, but can not get them because we can not charge insurance. For instance, I have a client who is low-income, and has sciatic nerve pain. This can be debilitating. She has tried everything the doctors have told her to do short of surgery. NOTHING worked!! She came to me, knowing she could not afford our services, and asked what could be done. I am forced to work with her and many people like her for free because it helps her when nothing else does!!! Insurance companies won't pay for services like massage therapy unless they are done with a physical therapist or chiropractor, and even then only a couple of companies will pay. The other issue is that the therapist is still doing the massage whether they work in a chiropractors office or not, but they can not get paid on their own! That's ridiculous! Other treatments we offer, including Reiki, Yoga, Meditation, Counseling, Acupuncture, etc... are not paid for even though research has proved them to be more effective than medication in the treatments of many illnesses. These services need to be paid for, people should have the right to choose how they treat their symptoms, and money should NOT be a barrier!! Many of these treatments work better and cost less than medications and surgery. If more people were able to get these treatments, we would have less of a healthcare crisis!

The people are the goverment not NRA that pay off our elected members.
