Die US-Komikerin und Schauspielerin Tiffany Haddish darf in einem Film ihre ganz persönliche Heldin spielen: die legendäre Olympiasiegerin und Sprint-Ikone Florence Griffith Joyner.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin on Tuesday will introduce legislation aimed at delivering relief to families who have struggled with the steep medical costs associated with congenital anomalies or birth defects.
The Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act would require all private group and individual health plans to cover medically necessary services for any anomaly that requires medically necessary care for any body part that has lost bodily function, including severe oral and facial defects. Though coverage is usually included in health plans, families fighting for the legislation say claims are routinely denied for external anomalies because they might be considered cosmetic, according to the bill s advocates and co-sponsors.
