Roxie and Lola

Prince William County Animal Service Center: “Meet Roxie (ID 37698/784) A 6-year-old female Pitbull mix. The owner surrendered to the shelter when they were no longer able to care for me. New situations and people can be terrifying to me, so I may take some time before she’s comfortable meeting you.”

“Meet Lola (ID 36888/25) A 5-year-old lady is a social butterfly who loves to meet new people. For her, a perfect day would include running around, playing in the yard, and then taking a nice cozy nap beside you. Her previous owner said that she is not a great fit for families with small children due to her energy level. Lola also has chronic kidney disease and is on a veterinary prescription diet to help support her kidney health.”

“The federal government dictates how Medicare and self-insured plans cover telemedicine, whereas Medicaid and fully insured private plans fall within the purview of the states.”

“Expansion of Medicare coverage of telehealth services has always been the goal of the Creating Opportunities Now for Necessary and Effective Care Technologies for Health Act, which was first introduced in 2016 and has not yet been passed, though it has been reintroduced in each successive Congress and parts have been codified into law.”

The chair of the board, Ann Wheeler, is running for re-election against another Democratic candidate Deshundra Jefferson. Here are some facts to consider when you go to vote.

Wheeler’s campaign is funded by special interest groups, including the data center industry, developers, and landowners that stand to make millions from the sale of their rural land for use by the data center industry. Wheeler has ownership in data center companies, yet she failed to ask if these personal financial interests represented a conflict of interest when she voted to approve favorable tax rates and approve the development of more land for these companies to build here.
