The people of Nebraska need Planned Parenthood locations in our State. This is a service used by both men and woman. The funding of Planned Parenthood should not be a political decision. It should be an independent decision to help the residents of the State of Nebraska. Please let your Senators know you want Planned Parenthood funded in the State of Nebraska.

My son passed away October 28th, 2017 at the age of 16 months and there is no explanation. After he passed away I got into contact with the SUDC foundation who told me all these wonderful services they offer and through them I found out that research for SUDC isn't government funded. Why? I don't believe any parent should wake up to their baby gone. We have the money to find out why it's happening. It's not just happening in America. Children and babies all over the world pass away unexpectedly and I believe we can try much harder then we are now to figure out why and what causes it. Please, I hope whoever is reading this it gets through to you. Researchers involved with the study, published in the journal Acta Neuropathologica, found that infants who die from SIDS and SUDC often have low levels of an important brain protein that is thought to play a significant role in sleep arousal. It's believed that some children who die from sudden infant death syndrome did not have enough orexin, a brain protein that helps manage wakefulness and that would alert them to wake up should their oxygen intake be compromised due to rolling over or sleeping face down. There are 2k deaths per year ruled to be SIDS and 1 in 4 deaths of 100,000 live births are ruled SUDC. And that is only the United States. Imagine the total number worldwide.

Contact your Member of Congress to tell them they MUST fund reauthorize critical funding for Community Health Centers NOW.

"Among the adult Medicaid enrollees who were not working, most report major impediments to their ability to work including illness or disability or care-giving responsibilities. While proponents of work requirements say such provisions aim to promote work for those who are not working, these policies could have negative implications on many who are working or exempt from the requirements."

It’s been over 100 days since the GOP leadership in Congress let the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) expire. With short-term patches and some creative budgeting, they’ve managed to limp funding along, but the time is up and the health and well-being of our children is at stake. Leaders from both sides of the aisle have agreed to a full 5 year extension of CHIP. They just have to stop playing partisan politics with children’s health and pass it! On January 19th, Congress will vote on a new spending bill and it must include long-term funding for this critical program. Children’s health can’t afford to wait; and short-term funding patches don’t cut it when it comes to providing reliable health coverage for children and pregnant women. The uncertainty this creates is inexcusable and puts the health and well-being of women and children at risk. Some states have already begun notifying families that their coverage could end. Moreover, states are not able to plan their budgets with funding still uncertain for CHIP. States can’t rely on limited patchwork funding and families can’t afford to go without coverage for their kids.

Safety-Net hospitals like Norwegian American Hospital, are completely reliant on Medicaid funding from the hospital assessment program which is set to expire in June. Countless patients and employees depend on the services and economic activity created by these hospitals. We need your help to send a message to Springfield that any cuts to Medicaid funding will negatively impact jobs and patient care.

Opioid misuse, addiction, overdose and death have become an epidemic in America. In fact, over the past 15 years, the nation's opioid epidemic has claimed more than 250,000 lives, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the last year alone, nearly 30,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses. In Utah, state data from 2015 found that 24 Utahns per month — or nearly one person every day — died from an overdose. Between 2011 - 2016, Salt Lake County saw the greatest total number of overdose deaths, with 638. Utah County was second with 259, followed by 184 in Weber County, 133 in Davis County, 37 in Cache and 14 in Washington County. We are hoping you would join your neighboring counties with a resolution to take legal action against Big Pharma.
