U.S. House Passes SCHIP-Medicare Bill |
|
Tuesday, 07 August 2007 |
|
Dear Headliners:
U.S. House Passes SCHIP-Medicare Bill
Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the State Children’s Health Insurance and Medicare Protection (CHAMP) Act by a vote of 225 to 204. The CHAMP Act is broad healthcare legislation that would reauthorize the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) (which provides health insurance to children from low-income families) and invest an additional $48 billion dollars in the program over a period of five years. The bill is controversial because of disagreements over the expansion of children’s health insurance, increase in the tobacco tax, and cuts in payments to Medicare managed care plans.

HB2439 Signed by the Governor! |
|
Sunday, 29 April 2007 |
|
With the financial assistance of a grant provided by the Audiology Foundation of America, HB2439 received final approval by the Arizona Legislature and was signed by the governor the third week of April, 2007. Many people in the audiology community, ArSHA lobbyist, Jason Isaak, and consumers worked diligently to get HB2439 passed. Some compromises were necessary, but the main issue of aligning the educational requirements for audiology licensure in Arizona with the educational reality of the AuD as the new entry level for audiologists is now written into Arizona licensure statute.
