In Tennesse, a battered woman must name her batter before reccieving medical care. I am an artist and anthropolgist that learned about the plight of battered women doing a course on battered women at the University of Tennesse at Chattanooga. I have followed this terrible action on women since that time. Bills introduced in the past have failed in the State House in TN. The government must realized that abused women personality change as they are abused, and they tend to fault themselves plus more women are killed by their abuser. Yes, an attempt was made by a person to abuse me, but I was strong enough to escape because I realized the consquences. Silverrene Roundtree

Under the Affordable Care Act, states are eligible to receive new funding to expand their Medicaid programs. Missouri lawmakers have so far refused to accept the funds to expand Medicaid in Missouri, but the fight's not over.

My son has been informed that when Obamacare is implemented his hours will be cut from forty to twenty-nine beause the business where he is employed will only allow forty-nine full time emplyees. Hence, he will not earn enough to support his family or buy individual affordable medical insurance. In order to enable more people their rightful access to medical insurance, there needs to be more people working full-time.

New Mexico has the highest accidental drug overdose rates in the country. Often people become addicted because of musculoskeletal pain that could have been treated successfully with physical medicine. Copay amounts for doctors of chiropractic (DC), physical therapy(PT), and occupational therapy(OT) are too high. This discourages patients from seeking conservative treatment first and causes them to resort to utilizing opioid drugs and surgery more often. The “Health Practitioner Cost-Sharing Rates” bill helps patients by reducing the copayment amount for a visit to a DC, PT, and OT to that of a primary care physician.
