Now on NH Outlook, the story of Michelle's Law - and the mother who has fought to make it a reality. |
| Hello/Intro Michelle's Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Beth Carroll is on assignment. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. It's not that often that a law is named after a single individual, but we're seeing that now in New Hampshire. Michelle's Law - which is still only legislation - is named for Michelle Morse, a college student from Manchester who discovered she had advanced colon cancer, but would have lost her insurance if she had left school to get well. We'll talk in a few minutes about Michelle's Law - and the fact that the fastest growing group of uninsured are young adults. But first, here is Michelle's story. |

GET A WHOLE NEW OUTLOOK WEEKNIGHTS @ 7:30 P.M. FEBRUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 24, 2006 www.nhptv.org/outlook MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20 Michelle's Law When she was halfway to earning her teaching degree, 20-year-old Michelle Morse found out she had colon cancer. As she prepared for that fight, her doctors urged her to lighten her course load. It was then that she and her family discovered that her insurance would stop unless she remained a full-time student. Michelle's mother took the fight to the legislature. Her daughter has since died but a bill known as "Michelle's Law" is now expected to pass. NH Outlook's Richard Ager brings us the story. Guests: Rep. Will Infantine, Rep. John DeJoie, Sen. David Gottesman and Dick Hage, VP of Student Affairs, Plymouth State University http:/www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2006/HB0037.html Michelle's Law/HB37 http:/www.michelleslaw.com/ TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 Seeing Seniors: Loss For many people, losing a long-time partner means painful loneliness and confusion. In this Seeing Seniors report, NH Outlook's Phil Vaughn brings us the story of a woman who is learning to cope after losing her husband of nearly 50 years. We'll also hear other perspectives on how survivors can move forward after the loss of a loved one. http:/www.state.nh.us/servicelink/ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22 NH Poet Laureate: Patricia Fargnoli The Governor and Executive Council has appointed a new poet laureate. Pat Fargnoli of Walpole is a poetry instructor and the author of three poetry books.The job comes with no pay and the appointment lasts for five years. So why do it? Well, they're poets. As Ezra Pound said "writing poetry is like dropping a feather into the Grand Canyon and waiting for the splash." NH Outlook's Chip Neal spoke with New Hampshire's newest poet laureate at her town's library. http:/www.state.nh.us/nharts/artsandartists/poetlaureate.html THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23 NH Originals: Arthur Walden When veteran dogsledder Arthur Walden wanted to create a breed of powerful sled dogs, he crossed a St. Bernard mix with a Greenland Husky and the gentle, fun-loving Chinook sled dog was born. In 1928, Walden and 100 of his new Chinooks joined Admiral Richard Byrd on a South Pole expedition. The original dog named Chinook did not survive the expedition, but the breed Walden created and lovingly nurtured lives on. Arthur Walden is this week's NH Original http:/www.chinookdogs.org/aw.htm http:/www.nhptv.org/outlook/nh_originals/ FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24 Friday Journalists Roundtable Journalists from around the state discuss the week's top stories.
