Bass Pecan co-owner Andy Copeland said the company opened its Natchez location in an effort to bring pecans to the rest of the country. .
Waging a new battle
The proposal, S.280, would require health insurers to provide coverage for prosthetic devices under the same general terms and conditions applicable to other durable medical equipment.
Racine remembers the day Casey came to visit him at his car dealership to seek legislative help. She pulled up her pants leg, showed him her prosthetic limb and launched into an explanation of the problem.
"I just found her a remarkably matter-of-fact and tough person and she was just outraged that there was this limit," Racine said. "It was very compelling to hear from somebody in such a straightforward and matter-of-fact way."
Casey, 49, gave testimony earlier this month on the bill before the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, which Racine chairs. Her pitch: Make sure working people with private insurance have at least the same coverage for prosthetic devices that people have under federal health plans such as Medicare and Medicaid.
