This is the WOKV spotlight to 104.5 wokv.

6:22 on a windy and cool Thursday morning. It won't be nearly as warm as yesterday. We pursue the possibility of rain and it looks like Saturday is your selection day for all things you want to do outdoors. Including the Concours d'Elandance, Amelia on Amelia Island and Nassau County. But we have a number of other events. Monster Jam, for example, on Saturday evening at the Everbank Stadium. So to see a lot and it is Thursday. We will put the weekend in the foreground like every Thursday. We are just a few days after the state legislative period and there are hundreds to hundreds, I think the last count I saw were like 1400 separate bills, some of them that are summarized, and so on. Everyone has their own priorities and north -east floridas delegation obviously has a number of topics they want to bring with them, and we will concentrate here in the next few weeks, starting at this hour, with the democratic representative Angie Nixon, the first priority legislation. What is the overall goal of these individual bills? We will immerse yourself with the details, but what is your overall view you can see here?

Thank you for stopping me. The entire vision is to really work to improve the life of working families here in our state to ensure that they offer safe, safe, safe, affordable apartments for young children high -quality education to protect workers. It is not only dental care for medical recipients who actually work often because there are negative connotation about it and the needs and freedom of Floridians really gets the spot at first.

Isn't the dental care available under Medicaid?

At the moment, only emergency care is made available under Medicaid, and there is a strong focus on dentures and the like. If we have these preventive measures available, you know that your routine visiting and such things can actually save a lot more money. The state could save much more money in the back.

The first package of working families apparently begins with education. Immerse yourself a little deeper into what you want to see as a result of education and in this calculation.

Yes, of couse. So I am a mother of five years. I have children in the high school. Last year, two years ago, I had her in the high school, in the middle school, in primary school and in the daycare center. At the moment it's just high school and primary school, but I still have a child in a daycare center. No daycare center, early childhood educational institution and I know that the costs are great, super high. But also one of these reasons is, like it is really difficult, to keep educators, early childhood educators. And so one of my law suggests that these providers, these educators, those teachers who have children who are in early childcare facilities to do without their tuition fees for these children. It is so expensive that I pay over 1000 US dollars a month and we have a problem with the workforce in early childhood education, and that would definitely help to address this problem. Another legislative template would actually help you restore some of the freedoms in education. And yes, these are my main components in terms of education.

The representative Nixon, another of the legislative templates contained in this initial legislation of these working families, is the reporting on dental services as part of the Medicaid program, which would revise the dental services currently paid by the AHCA. In your opinion, why does this invoice need an optional Medicaid service?

Yes, sure and, you know, I used to explain, but it is needed. It will help to consolidate the advantages that Florida's adult Medicaid participants would have, especially those with disabilities. As I mentioned, you know some of your routine visits, your root canals, your crowns, fillings and diagnostic care. And it just saves money. It saves the state of Florida and you know if you have bad oral health that leads to other things.

Heart disease?

Other terrible things. Yes, heart disease. Only your body begins to collapse, right? It is therefore really important to ensure that our people take their oral health needs into account.

We often spoke about this because many people do not know the correlation between dental health and their general health. One of the more controversial bills is HB 1499. Tell us a little about it.

Yes, you know, or it would basically provide that individuals, as they know, have reproductive rights and prohibit local governments regulating people with reproductive freedom, especially about the in -vitro fermentation and things like. I just want to make sure that this type of things are not attacked like us, like the state. You know that a woman's right attacks, and so. That is my thought of how it refers to it.

In any case, a passionate topic for you and for many in our audience. Representative Angie Nixon, thank you for being our guest. Look forward to talking to you again very soon.

Thank you for having me.
