-Caveat Lector-
This is exactly what was about to take place in California. A 'school clinic'
bill was quietly pushed through the legislative process and passed; the state
insurance code was even amended to compliment it. It was on Grey Davis' desk
when I heard about it from a woman I met at a restaurant. After I got home I
ended up working till about 4AM working on it to send out the information to
everyone I could think of, including all the addresses I could find in the
California PTA sites. Of course I also wrote letters of protest to the state
school board and the governor's office as well. A friend I'd told about this
listened to a talk radio show called 'Focus on the Family' and thought they
would appreciate this information. I called them and got the information about
the bill to them via email. They went on the air, devoting an entire program to
the subject. Thank god for those folks, because if it weren't for them this
bill would have been signed. As it turned out the State of California
switchboard was flooded with angry protest calls to such a degree that someone
from the governor's office called the Focus on the Family Organization and
requested the radio show, which was based in Colorado, to ask their listeners to
stop calling in protests. This was dutifully relayed and no doubt just
encouraged people to continue. It didn't stop there. Protests were organized
and people went to Sacramento to protest in person � in busloads. Grey Davis
vetoed the bill. I don't think he wanted this out in the press so backed off.
This bill would have placed school clinics at every public school. Children
would have been referred at the request of any teacher or adminstrator and
strongly encouraged to make use of the 'service'. If a child were referred,
they would leave the classroom to go directly to the clinic on their campus,
which was authorized to give complete physical exams and to prescribe any
medicine they wanted, including psychotropic drugs or birth control without the
knowledge or consent of the parents. This would have been billed to the parents
insurance directly, and I'm not clear about whether the insurance company would
need to share this information with the parents. I do know that if the
insurance didn't reimburse the entire amount, the parents would have been liable
for the balance and billed accordingly. Children without private insurance are
automatically covered by state insurance. This included behavioral counciling
and had the power to mandate family counciling. Or not. I know this program
emphasized reproductive and behavioral practice.
But what a great *true* success story that is. And the people won a big victory
denying state control of their children.
Of course, it will surely come up again. But people are becoming more aware of
the tricks and intentions of the state, and serendipidy sometimes plays a role
too. ; = }
