Amputees should have access to movement, sport, and the community that comes with both. Special prosthetics are needed to do this. Insurance only covers one prosthetic for walking - anything else is deemed “not medically necessary.”

Fatherhood has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. I’m forever grateful for the love, memories, and strength it brings. Wishing a heartfelt Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there — your role matters more than words can say.

Both the NC House and Senate unanimously passed the SCRIPT Act today that provides needed transparency and accountability in our prescription marketplace. I deeply appreciate Rep. Heather H Rhyne and her work. This is a win for NC, small businesses, and better access to care.

Corporate middlemen are driving up the cost of your medicine. Thankfully, Attorney General Jeff Jackson is taking action to stop it.
