Hurricane Beryl: The Aftermath. It’s been several days since Hurricane Beryl hit, and millions of people in Houston are still without power, internet, and gas. A dangerous heat wave is scorching the area, and it’s clear that power needs to be restored as soon as possible. How long will it take to restore power for everyone?

Mental Care for Children on Medicaid. The Colorado health care department has agreed to improve mental health therapy to children enrolled in Medicaid and work on a mental health delivery model that is culturally relevant, family centered, and child-driven. This settlement is expected to benefit children under the age of 21 who are enrolled in Colorado’s Medicaid Program, have been diagnosed with a mental health or behavioral disorder and are in need of intensive mental health therapies.
