Thompson today approved a South Carolina program to provide Medicaid prescription drug benefits to low-income seniors. State officials estimate that as many as 66,000 South Carolina residents may be aided by the new program. "This new program will mean real progress toward providing prescription drug coverage for those South Carolina seniors most in need," Secretary Thompson said. "While we work with Congress to establish a prescription drug benefit for all Medicare beneficiaries, programs like this one can provide immediate relief for seniors." South Carolina is one of the first states to receive federal funding to extend Medicaid prescription drug coverage to seniors under the Pharmacy Plus initiative. HHS today also announced the approval of a similar program in Maryland and previously approved similar programs in Illinois and Wisconsin. South Carolina's program targets those seniors with incomes up to twice the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The FPL for 2002 is $8,860 for an individual. Participants would not otherwise be eligible for Medicaid and will receive only the drug benefit.

id=10872 NASBE State Improvement Initiatives, Vol. 7, No. 1 National Association of State Boards of Education South Carolina's Teacher Cadet Program In 1985 South Carolina embarked upon a venture that has evolved into one of the most comprehensive efforts by a state to identify, attract, and place high-quality teaching candidates and keep them in the profession. Established by the Commission on Higher Education in December of 1985, the South Carolina Center for Teacher Recruitment (SCCTR) has grown from one small pilot project in four of the state's high schools to 12 programs that reach out to prospective candidates across the state and provide the foundation for a comprehensive effort to ensure that the state has a diverse, highly qualified teaching work force. Teacher Cadet Program The SCCTR initiative began with the Teacher Cadet Program. The program was designed to encourage high-achieving juniors and seniors in high school to consider teaching as a career. Originally piloted in four high schools in 1985, the project has grown to include 150 of the state's 200 high schools serving more than 2,200 students annually in the program. Twenty-three of the state's 30 higher education institutions have joined the effort, as well, with over two-thirds of the college partners granting college credit for satisfactory completion of the program, which in turn, allows students to receive an honors high school credit. Students accepted into the program enroll in a year-long course in which they study cognitive learning, child development, pedagogy, and education history. Some of the activities include classroom observations, teaching practice lessons, and tutoring. The course is taught one period per day for the entire year, or a semester equivalent.

USC THIS SITE February 20, 2003 Arnold School of Public Health study examines healthcare for minority seniors in rural areas A national study of minority senior citizens living in rural areas shows that they rely almost exclusively on Medicare and Medicaid for their health insurance. The report, compiled by researchers at the University of South Carolina’s Arnold School of Public Health , finds that minorities, including African Americans and Hispanics, were about half as likely as white seniors to have supplemental private insurance to cover their healthcare costs. Three of every four rural white seniors (76 percent) say they have private insurance to supplement Medicare, but only one of every three African Americans (34 percent) or Hispanics (33 percent) has this resource. Rural seniors of other races, including Native Americans or Asian Americans, fare better than other minorities; 57 percent have supplemental private insurance. "White senior citizens living in rural areas are far more likely to have private insurance than minority seniors," said Dr. Jan Probst, director of the S.C. Rural Health Research Center

Hayes, Jr. Gressette Building Columbia, SC 29201 Gentlemen: Retirees and soon-to-be retirees from other states are continually urged by South Carolina's governmental agencies to come to our state of "smiling faces and beautiful places" to enjoy their Golden Years. But if the South Carolina House Ways and Means Committee has its way, these new South Carolinians - not to mention the hundreds of thousands of seniors and future seniors already living here - had better not get sick and think Medicaid will help pay their medical bills. If they are not wealthy enough to pay their own way, they will be out of luck. The 2000-2001 appropriations bill recently reported out of the Ways and Means Committee to the House of Representatives effectively calls for an $87 million cut in our Medicaid programs. This cut includes not only the committee's rejection of $37 million of new funding requested by Health and Human Services to cover the annual growth in the cost of services and the number of recipients covered by Medicaid, but also provisos that legislators have tacked on that would cost Health and Human Services at least an extra $50 million to carry out.
