A Thanksgiving With No End

Posted on Troy Talk by Kevin Perez · November 22, 2017 1:19 PM · 1 reaction

thanksgivingv3.jpgMany consider Thanksgiving the best holiday of all because it is so inclusive and excludes no one. In its simplest form, all you have to do is say thanks for what you have. However, this year, I’d like you to consider a slightly different approach to Thanksgiving. It’s that extra step that touches someone else and speaks volumes about you.

National Diabetes Month: Taking The Initiative

Posted on Troy Talk by Kevin Perez · November 16, 2017 11:35 AM

troy-talk-diabetes-v3.jpgThe stark truth is that there is no cure for diabetes. However, unlike some diseases, diabetes is controllable. And not only is it treatable, but it is also a disease that you can have significant control over if you commit to a lifestyle change. Virtually all experts agree that if you take the time to become educated about the disease and manage it with diet, exercise and possibly medication, you can improve the quality of your life.

troy-talk-hospice-v2.pngIn honor of National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, Chief Medical Officer Stephen Goldfine, MD of Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice shares his valuable insights on this ever important facet of healthcare. We must honor the quality of life of every individual, just as we should honor those professionals that provide exceptional service everyday. To quote Dr. Goldfine: "Hospice is not a place –  it’s high-quality care that focuses on physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort and the best quality of life during advanced illness."

Why Voting Matters

Posted on Troy Talk by Kevin Perez · November 02, 2017 11:34 AM

tt-voting.jpgVoting is the essence of a democracy. Our country was founded on the principles of democratic participation that guaranteed the right of all citizens to have a role in shaping their government. Though for most our country’s existence, it failed to deliver on those guarantees, especially for women and minorities. That said, our imperfect union can only function at its best when its citizens are active participants.

Putting The Brakes On Prescription Drug Pricing

Posted on Troy Talk by Kevin Perez · October 19, 2017 11:41 AM · 3 reactions

good2.jpgOne of the most gut-wrenching and sobering moments of my time as a legislator happened to me a few months ago when I visited one of our district’s senior day programs. I sat in with some of my bosses and listened as many talked about how the escalating price of prescription drugs was forcing them to make a Hobson’s choice between paying for their medicines or going without. Now, we all know that prescription drug prices in our country are rising at an unprecedented and unsustainable rate. And, the numbers as to how bad it’s gotten are staggering.

Domestic Violence: A Road To Help

Posted on Troy Talk by Kevin Perez · October 12, 2017 11:22 AM · 2 reactions

tt-domesticviolence.jpgYou can count the numbers, and they are staggering. And the pain is immeasurable.

Currently, one in four women experience domestic violence at the hands of an intimate partner in our country. That’s two times higher than the incidence of breast cancer. Of those affected women, three are murdered every single day in a domestic violence homicide. Because batterers tend to isolate their female partners from family, friends and services, a visit to the doctor’s office, health clinic or emergency department may be one of the few times a woman meets professionals in a confidential setting. Guidelines created under the Affordable Care Act provided an opportunity to integrate domestic violence into our health care system by requiring health plans to fully cover screening and counseling as a standard element of women’s preventative services.

Think Pink

Steps_Towards__A_Cure.pngOctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This issue has touched the lives of so many that I know personally. And, as an elected official, I am well aware that the decisions we make in public policy influences every aspect of how we combat this disease. From increasing the amount of breast cancer research funding to ensuring better access to treatment, federal and state officials play a key role in eradicating breast cancer.

Manufacturing: Why It STILL Matters

Posted on Troy Talk by Kevin Perez · September 28, 2017 12:46 PM

tt-manufacturing.jpgManufacturing matters because it is a vital contributor to the economic health and wealth of our nation. It matters because it provides high-wage jobs, commercial innovation (the nation’s largest source), a key to trade deficit reduction, and a disproportionately large contribution to environmental sustainability. The manufacturing industries and firms that make the greatest contribution to these four objectives are also those that have the greatest potential to maintain or expand employment. These areas include:  Computers and electronics, chemicals (including pharmaceuticals), transportation equipment (including aerospace and motor vehicles and parts), and machinery are especially important.

Earn A Break From That Student Loan

Posted on Troy Talk by Kevin Perez · September 21, 2017 10:57 AM

tt-student-tax-break.jpgIt’s true. Sometimes imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Let me take a step back and explain.

Recently, Reps. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) and Scott Peters (D-Calif.) introduced a bipartisan bill that would provide companies with a tax break if they contributed money to employees for the repayment of college debt. The cap for the tax break is $5,250.
