There's new guidelines in place for anyone visiting someone with I/DD in the hospital during the coronavirus, and State Rep. Jay Case joined Gary Byron on the air to talk about it.
MICHAEL SPECIALE, CONNECTICUT TROLLEY MUSEUM DEVELOPMENT CHAIRMAN VOLUNTEER, was on with Brad Davis to talk about the Isle of Safety, it’s history, how it will be restored and the campaign that’s underway to raise funds.
A proposed bill PB317 has been written by CT State Senator Eric Berthel which proposes to require insurance companies to cover bariatric surgery benefits. Despite coverage by Medicaid and Medicare in our state, the majority of private insurance plans do not offer bariatric surgery as a benefit. When the ACS was passed by Obama, the essential benefit in Connecticut was based on the current coverage by our biggest HMO: Connecticare. As a result Obamacare has NOT covered bariatric surgery. Most insurers do not and have not been forced to offer the benefit. Many of our patients have switched to Medicaid for coverage despite having good jobs. This has caused a burden to taxpayers. State employees also have bariatric surgery coverage. Darren Tishler spoke to Brad and Paul about it
Senator Heather Somers joined Brad and Paul to update us on the Whiting Forensic abuse situation
