House Ways And Means Panel Rejects Amendments To Exclude Abortion Coverage From Health Reform
The House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday voted 23-18 to approve its health care reform bill (HR 3200) after rejecting dozens of Republican amendments, including attempts to exclude abortion coverage from the essential benefit package created in the legislation, CQ Today reports. An amendment offered by Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas) was rejected in an 18-23 vote; Reps. Bill Pascrell (N.J.), Earl Pomeroy (N.D.) and John Tanner (Tenn.) were the only Democrats to support the amendment. The amendment included exceptions for abortion to save the woman"s life or in cases of rape or incest. Committee members voted 19-22 to reject a similar amendment by House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.).The House health reform bill would establish a panel to set a minimum benefits package that health insurers must offer. The bill aims to expand health insurance coverage by mandating that individuals obtain insurance, requiring employers to offer workers coverage or pay a fine, and establishing a health insurance exchange where people could compare and purchase plans. The exchange would include a government-run health insurance option that would compete with private plans (Rubin, CQ Today, 7/17).

Alongside pupils from North Nibley Primary School, were two local families who have been affected by meningitis, the Townsend"s from Shurdington and Alison and David Walker from Cheltenham. Dr Brain says: "The Meningitis Trust Five Valley"s Walk is a Gloucestershire tradition, which I am pleased to support and be part of. Meningitis brings devastation to the lives of thousands of individuals, and their friends and families, in the UK each year. These people need our help and support, so the work the Trust carries out on their behalf is absolutely vital." The Meningitis Trust - the UK"s longest established meningitis charity - is now calling for people from Gloucestershire to take part in the flagship event on September 27, in each of Stroud"s Five Valleys - Golden, Toadsmoor, Painswick, Slad and Nailsworth Why not make it a day out for the whole family?

It costs ÷£7 for adults reserving their place in advance (÷£10 on the day) and ÷£5 for under 16s in advance (÷£8 on the day). There is also a family ticket, ÷£20 before or ÷£25 on the day. It"s the largest walking event in the area, attracting thousands of participants from all over the country every year. This year the Trust is keen to beat the ÷£61,000 that the walk raised last year, and hopes that people from across Gloucestershire will come together to make it one for the record books! The route is 21-miles long, with 10 checkpoints dividing it into shorter sections. People can choose to challenge themselves and walk the whole route, or pick a distance to suit them and use the free bus service to travel back to their starting point. Distances participants can walk ranges from 1 mile through to 21 miles. Julie Maden, Event Organiser at the Meningitis Trust says, "We would love for this Five Valleys Walk to be our biggest ever.

And the varying routes are designed so that everyone can take part, regardless of age, shape or stamina." Meningitis Trust
