A leading Democratic senator, Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said Sunday Democrats would need Republican support to make ambitious proposals to overhaul the health system a reality, the Associated Press reports.

Florida Moves To Increase Health Insurance For Children
Capitol News Service reports that an estimated 50,000 additional uninsured children may receive medical coverage from legislation that Gov. Charlie Crist signed Tuesday. "The Kid Care program offers low cost insurance to children up to ages 19. But penalties and a lengthy application process have kept thousand of families out," Capitol News Service reports. "The legislation shortens the waiting time to enroll in the state"s Kid Care program and lessens the penalties for missing a premium payment."

Muskus reports that Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women, said that ALL and similar groups are lobbying state and local governments to cut women"s access to birth control and emergency contraception and support "fetal personhood" laws. Gandy said, ""It"s sad to say, they are targeting young women who, after eight years of "abstinence-only" sex mis-education, are particularly vulnerable to their propaganda. We know that the greatest danger to women"s lives comes from a lack of access to good reproductive health care, including birth control and abortion -- and scientifically accurate information"" (Muskus, Huffington Post, 6/5).
