[AMP-L] Hoosiers Continue Push for Amputee Coverage

via Indiana Capitol Chronicle:

Indiana has been dubbed the Crossroads of America, where our 
communities are united by basketball. Just ask the fine Hoosiers from 
Hickory.   

While we don´t expect political lessons from Alex de Tocqueville´s 
Democracy in America to play out on the basketball court, Hoosiers do 
expect a Full Court Press of politi-hoops at the Statehouse. You can 
even buy popcorn in the basement and go sit in the balcony to root 
for your team.  

But when basketball and politics collided last session, House Bill 
1433 died, and Hoosier kids and basketball lost at the buzzer. The 
bill, nicknamed #SoKidsCanMove, allows children to participate in 
sports more easily by requiring Medicaid´s coverage of prosthetic 
legs for physically active student athletes.
