The 2013 Legislative Session
Over the course of this week, I’m going to write about each of the three bills we actively supported this year, including the Medicaid expansion (SB 200), dental benefits for adults on Medicaid (SB 242), and removing the three-month waiting period in CHP+ (SB 8).

What can happen when we are busy is that we lose one of the things that we need most when the work is hard – empathy. To me, the ability to empathize is foundational to leadership, authentic relationships, and to taking care of one another.
