Day care centers in mobile park face closure after ARC reforms
Three day-care centers in the Easy Living mobile home park in south Lawrence face closure under new management reforms. Twenty five families must relocate, as the centers risk losing livelihoods. Candy Harrelbrink, whose family runs one center, says payment burdens force possible relocation, while ARC cites safety and traffic concerns from daytime activity. Alice Helmer notes her long-running operation under threat as reforms continue.

Lawmakers seek to halt home health closures
Missouri Senator Bond and others push a bill to stop a 15 percent cut in home health payments, shielding the sickest patients. Medicare cuts since 1997 have forced about 2,000 agencies from business, with John Knox Village Home Health noting reduced visits and families asked to take on care duties. The plan would add 10 billion dollars over five years to protect high risk patients.

Washington House approved a bill making it a crime for an adult to aid a minor in seeking an abortion in another state when parental consent rules differ.
