@login_required 
def add_healthrecord(request):
    if request.method=='POST':
        if not request.user.is_authenticated(): # if user is not logged in
            response_data=[{"success": "0"}]
            return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(response_data),mimetype='application/json')
        current_user=request.User
        response_data=[{"success": "1"}]
        return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(response_data), mimetype='application/json')

Without any more information, it seems like you're not passing the csrf token in with your post command. When using the @login_required decorator, you need to pass the csrf token (essentially the users session id) in with the request or you will not be able to post data to that view. Checkout the Django Documentation for some more info.
