"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.

New York State Workers’ Compensation Board: Thank you for listening to the tens of thousands of petitions, letters, calls, and comments, the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board and withdrawing the harmful proposal to cuts on workers’ compensation. This November 22nd, 2017 set of proposed guidelines eliminates the prior proposals around company-assigned doctors; the list of injuries that would no longer be covered; and the 97% benefit cuts for some injuries. The new set of proposed guidelines does what democracy should and meaningfully responds to the widespread opposition to benefit cuts from injured workers, elected officials, labor unions, community organizations, and attorneys and eliminated their widespread cuts to the system. Despite the significant improvements to the previous proposal, we continue to have concerns around some reductions that should be eliminated from your proposals. The recent proposal, despite its many improvements, also includes potential cuts on knee, hip, and shoulder replacements. While these cuts are not drastic in number, they are significant for every injured worker who has the misfortune of being injured on the job with these injuries that have been reduced by up to 25 percent. We urge the Board to consider eliminating any and all cuts to injured workers in this current proposal; any cut, regardless of how slight, should never be a consideration. Thank you again for listening to our comments, and thank you in particular to Chair Clarissa Rodriguez for your hard work in creating a proposal that works for New Yorkers. We will continue to advocate for a workers’ compensation system that works for all injured workers, including low-wage workers and immigrant workers with limited English capacity. We hope you will join us as we work to create a better system for all New Yorkers.
