Maintaining a Family’s Health and Stability
March 30, 2011 14:44:18
At Appleseed we have long worked on programs that help people work. Often called “work supports,” these are the things in our lives that make it possible for us to go to work and maintain our jobs. One clear example is child care. Having a safe place for our children to go while we work – whether that is a family member’s home or a quality child care provider or preschool – makes it possible for us to go to work.

The Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and Health Care Reform
March 18, 2011 22:00:19It’s not every day we get to talk about the Founding Fathers in our work at the Legislature. But, yesterday we had a rare opportunity to do just that as the Judiciary Committee held a hearing on LB 515, a bill that would attempt to nullify the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA) – the health care reform law – and create criminal penalties for state and federal officials that try to implement the Act.
Appleseed testified in opposition to the... - [Read more] |
