  • May 10, 2021 Honorable Senator Joshua Miller Chair, Senate
    May 10, 2021 Honorable Senator Joshua Miller Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services Rhode Island State Capitol Providence, RI RE: Senate Bill 859 Dear Chair Joshua Miller, On behalf of the 226,000 adults living in Rhode Island with doctor-diagnosed arthritis, the Arthritis Foundation urges reform regarding accumulator adjustment programs. Accumulator adjustment programs prevent any co-payment assistance that may be available for high cost specialty drugs from counting towards a patient’s deductible or maximum out-of-pocket expenses. Many pharmaceutical manufacturers offer co-pay cards that help cover a patient’s portion of drug costs. Traditionally, pharmacy benefit managers have allowed these co-payment card payments to count toward the deductible required by a patient’s health insurance plan. With an accumulator adjustment program, patients are still allowed to apply the co-payment card benefits to pay for their medications up to the full limit of the cards, but when that limit is met, the patient is required to pay their full deductible before cost-sharing protections kick in. Currently, the state of Rhode Island does not have a law to ensure that health insurers count co- payment assistance towards a patient’s cost-sharing requirements. However, we appreciate your co-sponsorship of legislation (SB 859), alongside Senator Hanna Gallo, Senator Mike McCaffrey, Senator Frank Ciccone, and Senator Maryellen Goodwin, to protect patients against accumulator adjustment programs. Legislation is necessary on this issue as patients are often unaware they are enrolled in one of these programs until they go to the pharmacy counter and realize they must pay the full cost of their medication, which can lead them to abandon or delay their prescription.

  • Terrestrial Resonance: Exploring Earth Through Dance
    TERRESTRIAL RESONANCE: EXPLORING EARTH THROUGH DANCE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF DANCE by Jennifer L. Conley May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Joellen Meglin, Advisory Chair, Dance Dr. Karen Bond, Dance Dr. Dorothy Merritts, Franklin and Marshall College, Earth and Environment Dr. Kariamu Welsh, Dance Dr. Edward Flanagan, External Examiner, Music Studies © Copyright 2014 by JenniferL.Conley All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The geologic theory of plate tectonics, sometimes referred to as “the dance of the continents,” proposes a vision of Earth as dynamic body in motion that is constantly shifting and altering its form. Geophysical research during the 1950s and 1960s, especially in relation to Harry Hess’s seafloor spreading hypothesis, Fred Vine and D. H. Matthews’ geomagnetic reversal hypothesis, and J. Tuzo Wilson’s classification of new faults in Earth’s crust, established enough scientific evidence to suggest a viable model of this dance of the continents. This led to the geoscientific community widely accepting the theory of plate tectonics by the end of the 1960s. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate how the idea of Earth as a dynamic body in motion can be connected to the experience of one’s own body in motion and in movement practice. Emerging from my work as an artist and an educator, this research analyzes the creative processes and the phenomenological essences of two geologically inspired dances, and develops a pedagogical application of geosomatic movement practices in an undergraduate course entitled Dancing Earth, Dancing Body.
