In the NCAA basketball tournament, Louisville sophomore Kevin Ware suffered a gruesome injury: His leg bone literally tore through his skin. While the NCAA makes over $780 million per year off student athletes, they do not guarantee that medical bills for injuries will be covered. Can you sign our petition to the NCAA?

All Texans should be healthy.

Therapies based on behavioral and developmental approaches effectively reduce and in some cases eliminate the symptoms of autism. Current funding for this type of therapy in MN is limited to public insurance. This coverage will come to an end if the DHS budget changes pass as currently written, leaving virtually no options for citizens of Minnesota who are living with autism. We must pass a bill currently being debated in the MN legislature requiring private insurance companies to cover treatment for autism. We must also protect coverage provided by public insurance. All Minnesota children deserve a bright future.

As a former DOE special education teacher, and a parent of a child with Autim, I can say with confidence that the public standard for sevices is neglectfully low. It is heartbreaking and frustrating, to be knowledgable of the evidence practices that will help my child, yet the very professionals employed to apply them do not have the training, staffing resources, administrative support or accountability. Stop the madness! Push for Health Care Reform that will help families access adequate therapies.

This legislation is a Health Freedom Bill gives practitioners and clients the freedom to seek and receive alternative therapies. • Currently, there are no laws giving a right to practice to Natural Health Practitioners. • There are over 1,500,000 Colorado citizens who receive health care services from complementary and alternative health care practitioners. Protect your freedom to choose.

Governor Phil Bryant has just appointed Terri Herring, a major Personhood proponent to the MS Board of Public Health, she now must be confirmed by the MS State Senate. Terri Herring, an extremist, who is out of touch with mainstream Mississippi and utterly unqualified in the field of public health should not be appointed to the MS Board of Public Health. This position is too important and her appoint to this board jeopardizes the health, safety, and welfare of the people of Mississippi who will be effected by the policies of this board. From the Jackson Free Press: "Gov. Phil Bryant has nominated staunch pro-life activist Terri Herring, national director for the Pro-Life America Network, to sit on the Mississippi Board of Public Health. The 11-member board, according to its website, provides policy direction for the Mississippi Department of Health, appoints a state health officer to operate the agency; approves the state health plan; and approves all rules and regulations of the agency. Most of the board members are doctors and nurses. All of them are gubernatorial appointees that serve for six years. Herring, who apparently has no medical background, would replace Dr. Ellen P. Williams. Last year, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves blocked Gov. Haley Barbour's nomination to the board, OB/GYN Dr. Carl Reddix, because of Reddix' tenuous ties to the Jackson Women's Health Organization. The Senate will hold nominating hearings, which are open to the public, next week." http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/weblogs/jackblog/2013/mar/27/bryant-nominates-terri-herring/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the Clarion Ledger: "Said Sen. Debbie Dawkins, D-Pass Christian: “I’m not sure if she knows what happens when a sperm and egg unite. I’m not unbiased. When I worked in the ER – I was a surgical technician – back before Roe vs. Wade, we would see people come in, with coat hanger situations or worse.” Dawkins said agency boards need people willing to compromise, not divisive figures. Her nomination comes one year after the ouster of State Board of Health member Dr. Carl Reddix, an OB-GYN, because of his loose affiliation with the Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Reddix was appointed by then-Gov. Haley Barbour and had been serving on the board since mid 2011. But when Barbour submitted his name for nomination in the 2012 session before leaving office, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves blocked it. Reeves had cited concerns about Reddix’s association with the abortion clinic, saying he wanted a qualified physician instead. A Mississippi native, Reddix earned his medical degree from Tufts University, his master’s degree from Harvard, and did his residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He didn’t work for the clinic but provided emergency care for its patients in case of post-procedure difficulties. Herring’s qualfications weren’t immediately available, but she has been an ardent opponent of the abortion clinic and a staunch supporter of the Personhood amendment." http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20130327/NEWS/303270065/Bryant-nominates-abortion-foe-State-Board-Health

Mental illness is a serious medical issue. The Act will allow up to 1.5 million more Americans living with a behavioral disorder to get the care they need. This Act expands access to community mental health centers and improves the quality of mental health care for all Americans.

All across the country, employers are preparing for the Affordable Care Act by cutting the hours of their employees. This can easily be rectified by accurately defining "full-time" employment under the ACA as 35 or more hours per week. Congress must act NOW before the effects of these cuts impact our fragile economy. Please sign today!
