Dear Community Activists: HERE IS A BILL AND FUNDING FOR OVER $1MILLION DOLLARS THAT WILL ALLOW
Health Centers and create Health Center Advisory Councils IN OUR SCHOOLS!!! You may use all or part of my letter below send it to YOUR senator and "cc" Gov. Heineman at
dave.heineman@nebraska.gov This bill is scheduled for a second vote today. Please respond by Friday 3/19. Susan
Dear Senator:
I'm asking you to OPPOSE Sen. Nordquist's AM1948 to LB 1106 and AM2243 to LB1106A that allow for and fund health centers in schools.
If I heard correctly, these health centers will be overseen by a Health Center Advisory Council; the schools will ultimately determine which services will be provided and may include abortion, birth control or mental health counseling **AM1948 indicates that won't be allowed though**; the services will be provided for MEDICAID eligible students only AND for PREGNANT WOMEN who are LEGALLY here; the students will not have to first be seen by their primary care doctor; only two heath care organizations will be allowed to administer services One World Community Center and Charles Drew Center; (I've pasted some of the paragraphs from AM1948 below).
LB1106A is funding for these health centers- but I listened to the floor debate I'm not understanding why money is needed for this - if no money is to be paid for salaries, per diems - and no money is needed for building construction then what is the money for?
I believe our educational system has become a breeding ground for left wing socialists. I don't trust them educating our kids now much less trust them with health centers or being allowed to dictate the services nor do I want pregnant women parading into our schools for health care. The students have enough distractions now.
Please help me understand this because I'm thinking that the next step is to just build dormitories at the schools so parents can let their kids be raised by the educators.
20 (3) If another institution or organization sponsors the
21 school-based health center, at least one representative of each
22 sponsoring institution or organization shall be included on the
23 School Health Center Advisory Council.
10 "(e) Does not perform abortion services or refer or
11 counsel for abortion services and does not dispense, prescribe, or
12 counsel for contraceptive drugs or devices; and"; and in lines 10
13 and 11 after "medical" insert "or dental".
