Senate bargainers say deal reached on children's health
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican and Democratic Senate negotiators say they've reached a deal to extend financing for the popular children's health insurance program for five years. In a concession to Republicans, the agreement would phase out extra federal funds that have been provided to states for several years. If finalized and approved by Congress, the agreement would avert a cash crunch at the end of this month. That is when money for the federal-state program expires. The federal government pays around $7 billion annually for the program, with states paying a small share. It provides health coverage to around 8 million low-income children and pregnant women.

A New Book Offering an Inside Look into the Opaque World of Residential Drug Rehab
"Drug Rehab: The 5 Things You Absolutely Need to Know Before You Go," written by rehab industry insider Scott Pilara, is available free on both Amazon and iBooks to commemorate National Alcohol and Addiction Awareness Month
Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2017
Scott Pilara, founder of The Power of Choice™, the first concierge substance abuse and holistic wellness provider in the United States, announced today that to commemorate National Alcohol and Addiction Awareness Month, he will offer his new book, Drug Rehab: The 5 Things You Absolutely Need to Know Before You Go, free to the public on Amazon.com from September 13th-17th, as well as on iBooks for the remainder of the month.
“I wrote this book with the intention of assisting those who are beginning the process of seeking treatment. I present some fundamental principles that will hopefully keep people safe while helping them to find an effective treatment option, but also to shed some light on what goes on behind closed doors within this troubled industry. In California alone, one patient dies on average every 16 days in a residential treatment facility. This is unacceptable.”
"Residential and outpatient drug treatment is a failed system due to the shortcomings of managed care, and also because of the one size fits all approach to treating addiction that most rehab facilities employ. Patient fatalities, insurance fraud, false advertising, self-referral, patient brokering, and profiteering off of the use of expensive and unnecessary medical tests are daily occurrences at treatment facilities nationwide," observed Pilara. Because health insurers are required to pay for addiction and mental health treatment and are prohibited from denying coverage due to a preexisting condition, anyone who has health insurance is helping to subsidize this sector of the healthcare system through increased premiums.
“Addiction in all of its forms is currently the biggest health problem facing our country, and addiction treatment is a $35 billion industry operating without any performance standards whatsoever," remarked Pilara. “Over 2 million people a year seek treatment for substance abuse, and very few have any idea of what they are walking into when they enter a rehab facility or know what questions they should be asking before beginning a treatment program.”

Petplan & National Police Dog Foundation Announce Winners of Inaugural Grant Awards
Five K-9s to receive pet insurance protection to support health during active duty and beyond
Newtown Square, PA (PRWEB) September 13, 2017
Petplan pet insurance and the National Police Dog Foundation (NPDF) today announced the winners of the inaugural K-9 Health Insurance Grant. The endowment, a joint effort between Petplan and the Foundation, awards one year of pet insurance to five currently active police dogs throughout the U.S.
WINNING GRANT RECIPIENTS ARE:
Reximus, 3-year-old German Shepherd
Nome Police Department, Nome, AK
Handler: Justin P Timm
Sergeant Timm started the K-9 program at the Nome Police Department after many years without a K-9 unit. Reximus specializes in narcotics detection and is the only four-legged officer all of Western Alaska (he’s very busy!).
“I’ve been paying for Reximus’ veterinary care, including airfare for emergency transport, with the understanding it may not be reimbursed,” Timm said on his grant application. With his new Petplan policy, 90% of Reximus’ unexpected veterinary expenses will be covered.
Rudy, 2-year-old Shepard/Malinois mix
Upland Police Department, Upland, CA
Handler: Quinn Hanley
Rudy’s K-9 team is funded primarily through donations from the public (the city covers vehicle upkeep and the handlers’ salaries only). The Petplan/NPDF grant will allow the Upland PD to maximize existing funds and put future donations toward the training and equipment needs of the K-9 unit.
“People don’t see it, but these aren’t normal dogs: they are the elite athletes of the canine world,” says Handley. “And just like professional athletes, on a daily basis they can be subject to injury. Having an insurance grant allows us to maximize our budget on other necessary items like training, equipment and dog food.”
Coale, 1-year-old German Shepherd
Amory Police Department, Amory, MS
Handler: Dawn McClendon
Coale has just begun a 5-week program training for narcotic alert, search and rescue, and patrol duties. He is the first K-9 to join the unit since 2012; the department has lacked funding for canine officers for the past five years. His pet insurance grant will help keep costs down and keep the K-9 program thriving in Amory.
“Our department knows first hand how quick things can change,” says McClendon. “Roughly eight years ago we lost our K-9 partner to cancer. The peace of mind to have insurance that helps guarantee the best care no matter the a budget is a must!”
Tracker, 2-year-old Belgian Malinois
Silver Spring Township Police Department, Mechanicsburg, PA
Handler: David Frascella
Tracker is a multi-faceted K-9 who handles patrol and narcotics work. He’s also is trained in tracking, article searches, apprehension and handler protection. While veterinary care is paid from the department budget, Tracker’s handler knows how quickly that can become a burden.
“Tracker’s K-9 partner developed cancer a few years ago and thankfully though very generous donations from the public he received the treatment he needed,” says Frascella. “Having [Petplan] will allow the department to focus on Tracker having the knowledge that he is covered.”
Charlie, 3-year-old Labrador Retriever
Holbrook Police Department, Holbrook, MA
Handler: Brian Macgregor
Charlie has quickly become known as a “rock star” in drug detection, with several impressive seizures under his belt. The Holbrook PD pays for food, supplies, and medical treatment for its K-9 unit (which includes another officer named Bo) solely through donations from their community. The pet insurance grant from Petplan and the NPDF will help ensure the dogs always receive the best medical care—regardless of cost.
“If something happens to [Charlie] the costs could be astronomical,” says Chief of Police William Smith. “If we can’t pay for it then we have to take the dog out of service. It’s peace of mind he’ll be covered.”
The NPDF K-9 Health Insurance Fund, which made the first round of grant awards possible, is funded entirely by public donations and the sponsorship support of Petplan. As donations to the Fund grow, more grants will be made available to K-9 handlers.
“It’s hard to put into words the pride we feel in supporting police K-9s and the work they do to keep their communities safe,” says Natasha Ashton, co-founder and co-CEO of Petplan. “We were excited to launch this grant program, but meeting the first round of K-9 officers and handlers who will benefit just makes the honor all the more heartfelt. This is a program we hope to continue in partnership with the National Police Dog Foundation for a very long time.”
