All –
The Arizona Legislature is now at day 32, which is more than 30% of the way towards the “mythical” 100-day legislative session. Arizona is one of a few states whose legislature has no constitutional or statutory end date. The Legislature starts the year off with a rule stating session shall last 100 days, the rule is often amended and the 100-day goal missed.
Major policy debates are what normally cause the Legislature to miss the 100-day goal, e.g. Governor Brewer’s work to expand Medicaid in 2013. This year, major healthcare debates at the Arizona Legislature are unlikely due to the uncertainty surrounding the repeal and replace of the Affordable Care Act. However, there are always healthcare issues debated at the Legislature. Some of the issues on the forefront this year include proposals to address “surprise billings”, mandatory flu vaccines, newborn screenings, and behavioral health transportation.

Governor Doug Ducey included the proposal in his FY18 budget, and it has garnered pushback from fiscal hawks in the Republican caucus and scrutiny from government debt and taxpayer watchdog groups. Chatter that ASU would attempt to use the proposal as an alternative to pay for its share of a proposed new arena for the Arizona Coyotes only confused the issue. ASU and the Coyotes originally proposed a sales tax mechanism to pay for its share of the arena, but when that hit significant opposition speculation turned to the bonding package as a potential financing source.

Back in 2007 there were several concerns over immigration as a whole and exploding proportions of illegal immigrants crossing the border in the Arizona area. Arizona attempted to resolve the influx of people across the border by imposing heavy fines on employers hiring illegal immigrants. At that time in Arizona there was a democratic governor Janet Napolitano that continually vetoed the Arizona’s legislature attempt to reduce illegal immigration. In 2009 the state replaced the Democratic governor with a Republican governor Jan Brewer who was supportive of reforms for immigration in Arizona. In 2010 the immigration problem was so sever that Arizona passed legislation allowing the state to enforce federal law for identification of legal immigration into the United States. This sparked a nation wide discussion on illegal immigration and immigration reform.
For example David Busst would have a significant scar tissue from where he broke his fibula and tibula as when he did break those bones they ripped through his skin meaning it was a compound break. It is likely that he would have a scar from where they bone went through the skin and a scar from where his leg was re straightened and put into his leg again. For example he may have a scar similar to the scar tissue in the diagram below but it may be very deep due to the extent of his injury.

She was referred to a diabetes care team for specialist treatment and monitoring when she was diagnosed with diabetes as diabetes can’t be cured but treated. Because its on-going the treatment is to ensure that her blood glucose level is as normal as possible, to control her symptoms and to prevent health problems developing later in life.

ACA expanded Medicaid to all Americans below 133% of the federal poverty level from the previous cut-off at 138 percent. The enrollment for Medicaid and CHIP has been simplified. ACA prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions. This is known as guaranteed issue. ACA also extends dependent coverage for young adults unto the age of 26; so they can stay insured on their parent’s insurance. Individuals upto 400% of the federal poverty level are entitled to tax subsidies in order to assist them in having a health insurance. The subsidy is meant to achieve 2 goals: (1) provide sufficient funds to ensure that people can afford their health insurance premiums and (2) provide a financial incentive for people to choose lower-cost plans. These two goals are opposing, but both are essential. Families who earn more than 400% of the FPL can also purchase health insurance from the exchange, but they receive no subsidy.

I will discuss with the parents that assessing the biological age and training age will reduce the risk of injury because the maturity assessment helps to determine the fitness level of their children. Also, a complete health assessment will determine their weakness and strengths, as well as contraindications to exercise. The resistance training program will be based on the children’s maturity level, training age, physical abilities and specific goals. I will gradually increase the volume, intensity and rate of progression to reduce the risk of injury and overtraining. I will incorporate low- impact exercises, as their bones, ligaments, and tendons are not fully developed. Before each training session, they will start with a warm-up and end

This report demonstrates the current financial situation for the Stratton Township Park and makes recommendations for the annual program budget for the next fiscal year. We first show the current annual budget program, indicating line-item details for each function by account and summarizing the park budget as a whole.
