Victoria Spartz Runs Again, City-County Council Recap, Debt Protections, Prior Authorization, Are Schools Prepared for Cardiac Arrest?

U.S. Representative Victoria Spartz will run for another term in Congress, reversing her decision not to. The Indianapolis City-County Council held its monthly meeting last night. The National Consumer Law Center recently identified Indiana as having weak debt protections laws, and some advocates are concerned about how this is affecting consumers. Medical providers say prior authorization creates administrative burdens for them and barriers to care for their patients. Last year’s data shows some Indiana schools may not be prepared to respond to cardiac arrest victims.
