In March, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services approved AHCCCS's expansion of KidsCare eligibility to 225% of the federal poverty level, up from the earlier 200% cap. KidsCare will now allow kids whose parents make too much to qualify for Medicaid but less than 225% of the poverty line, which is right around $70,200 for a family of four, to pay an affordable premium for quality Medicaid (AHCCCS) coverage. Today's conversation focuses on how Arizonans can connect to KidsCare and other resources to receive the healthcare coverage they need for their families.

On today's episode, we are talking healthcare from AHCCCS to KidsCare, to the healthcare marketplace open enrollment period. Joining us today are Claudia Maldonado from the Arizona Alliance of Community Health Centers, and our newest team member here at Vitalyst, Ana Roscetti, Director of State Health Policy and Advocacy. We discuss the Cover Arizona Coalition, Medicaid Redetermination, the Healthcare Marketplace and open enrollment. We hope it's an informative conversation.

The parents are away for this Adventure! episode and the boys need a babysitter. Preferably not one that's secretly a rat monster. That would be nice. Also one that lets us watch R-rated movies and won't tell the adults about it. In this episode Paul, Chad, and Kevin read through R. L. Stine's Give Yourself Goosebumps book Attack of the Beastly Babysitter. The professionals at KidScare have a full entertainment facility to entertain us and our terrible brother Stinko. Hopefully we can avoid the Switch Cheese and the Mask of Worms. Enjoy!

During my five years in the Arizona House, I have been a crusader for increased funding and services for maternal and child health. Arizona is worst in the country for Adverse Childhood Experiences. Far too many Arizona children grow up with food insecurity, housing insecurity and financial insecurity, while the state government gives away billions each year in tax breaks. With so much cash on hand, it's time for the Arizona Legislature to invest in the health and wellbeing of children and families – instead of more tax breaks for corporations and wealthy Arizonans. According to Arizona's 2020 Statewide Maternal and Child Health Needs Assessment Report, Arizona has one of the highest poverty rates in the country. Between 59 and 74% of African American, Latino and Native American children in Arizona live in low-income households. Although some of Arizona's infant and maternal health outcomes are better than average, racial and ethnic disparities exist. Arizona's overall infant mortality rate is 5.6 (per 1000 live births), but that rate jumps to 9.2 (per 1000 live births) for African Americans and 9.4 (per 1000 live births) for Native Americans. Similar racial and ethnic disparities exist when you look at low birthweight.Arizona's working families are at a crossroads. Many are struggling after losing pandemic benefits and are worried about loss of eviction protection in an uncertain world. Will the Arizona Legislature help them by easing some of their medical burden? Arizona's Medicaid system, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) has flexibility options that it can opt into—especially now that the procedures have been streamlined and now that Arizona has plenty of money for matching funds. My guests today will talk about the state of maternal and child health in Arizona and steps that the Arizona Legislature can take in 2022 to improve the health and the lives of Arizonans, particularly our youngest residents. My guests for this podcast are Zaida Dedolph, director of health policy for the Children's Action Alliance, and Rep. Kelli Butler, who is ranking Democrat on the Arizona House Health Committee. They discuss Arizona's need for expanded maternal and child healthcare and the state's unique opportunities as we approach the next Legislative session.Time Stamp | PPH Commentary 0:42 | Interview with Zaida Dedolph 5:22 | Increasing Access to Care for Arizona Children 6:17 | Arizona's Rate of Uninsured Children Is Almost Twice US Rate 7:12 | AHCCCS and KidsCare 101 8:31 | Arizona Doesn't Have to Be Stingy with Healthcare 9:52 | Arizona Does the "Bare Minimum" for New Moms and Babies 11:27 | Arizona Maternal Mortality Report: 80% of Postpartum Deaths Are Preventable 12:36 | Instead of Action to Save Lives | AZLeg Wants More Reports 13:54 | Increased Access to Prenatal and Postpartum Care Would Save Lives and Money 15:45 | Arizona Needs Medically Accurate Reproductive Health Education 18:43 | There Are Generational Benefits to Increasing Health Coverage for More Families 20:17 | Interview Rep.

Dr. Cortney is on a mission to change the world – one woman, one mother, one daughter and one legacy at a time. But her path to popularity, power, and prosperity has required her to navigate numerous potholes. In 1993, six months after graduating from high school, she put dreams of attending college at Texas A&M on hold and instead became a single teenage mom. Watching her friends leave for college, she was instead forced onto Medicaid, food stamps and double-shifts as a pregnant waitress. Despite those immense obstacles, she launched a successful and transcendent business career. Through a combination of passion and persistence, Dr. Cortney earned her Master's degree from Southern Illinois University and founded KidsCare Home Health. In 2005, Dr. Cortney suffered a pulmonary embolism and in 2012 endured a stroke that required 7-hour brain surgery. Despite seemingly insurmountable health odds, she quickly rebounded, earning her doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University. She is currently the CEO and Chairman of the Board for KidsCare, a multi-million dollar enterprise providing speech, physical, occupational, and nursing services to over 2,500 children with special needs from Texas to Colorado. She has also authored Unlimited: Conquering the Myth of the Glass Ceiling and the best-selling book, The 10 Dos and Don'ts for Business Leadership: Lessons to Lead Effectively. When not getting lost or making a stop at Whataburger for her beloved Diet Coke, Dr. Cortney resides near Dallas with her husband, two children, two dogs, and a rescue cat. What you will learn in this episode: How Dr. Cortney began facing difficulties at a young age, and how she overcame those challenges to get her doctoral degree and become a thriving entrepreneur Why Dr. Cortney decided to leave a job where she was under-appreciated and instead built her own company Why the many challenges Dr. Cortney faced as a young woman served to strengthen her resolve and altered the trajectory of her life Why Dr. Cortney strongly believes in empowering other women to succeed, and how she conducted her research for her book Unlimited: Conquering the Myth of the Glass Ceiling What four challenges most women face that make it difficult to achieve the top levels of leadership in their careers Why a lack of self-confidence is one of the biggest challenges women in the business world face, and why too often women pull each other down rather than lift each other up What steps Dr. Cortney takes to help women better develop a sense of self-confidence, and why confidence is a choice How Dr. Cortney helps women entrepreneurs bring their business ideas and entrepreneurial vision to life Why Dr. Cortney found herself in a dark place of “now what?” after she achieved her doctoral degree, founded her company and wrote her first book, and how she worked her way back out What advice Dr. Cortney would offer to anyone needing to build up their own confidence and make progress toward their goals Resources: Email: cortney@cortneybaker.com Website: https://cortneybaker.com From Side Hustle to CEO course: www.fromsidehustletoceo.com Women in Business Podcast: https://cortneybaker.com/podcast/ Twitter: @cortneyabaker Facebook:

Jennifer Hill interviews Kerry Dolan about how we can transform the way women work. Jennifer asks Kerry about her company OptIn and how Kerry’s company helps mothers get back to work after taking time off to raise children. Kerry offers helpful insights on how moms can get back to work and discusses the resources that her company provides to empower moms in getting back to work. Kerry is a mother of three and a visionary. She launched her career in New York City with a start-up in videoconference technology, which led her to set up and integrate the first ever satellite video conferencing system in the world. In 2004, with twin girls on the horizon, Kerry made the decision to opt out of her career temporarily to care for her family. When her husband’s job called for a move from Los Angeles to Annapolis, she was there to support it. Four years later, after twins and husband and another baby, she found herself missing the kind of fulfillment she had when she had her own career. In 2009, Kerry got back to work and created the KidsCare brand, the first of its kind. It is an in-mall childcare service that allows parents to shop or dine while their kids had fun in a supervised space. Since the opening of their doors in 2012, more than 45,000 kids have come through—clearly a concept that spoke to the needs of mothers with busy schedules. When Kerry returned to Los Angeles in 2014, she teamed up with Leslie Dubuque as her right-hand woman and OptIn was launched. http://www.optbackin.com/
