the Modern Medicaid Alliance, of which the National Consumers League is a member, was excited to announce a significant expansion of our \u201cMedicaid Dashboard\u201d \u2014 a unique one-stop-shop clearinghouse of Medicaid data that includes state-specific research, information, and polling. The expanded version of the Dashboard provides rich information on high levels of support for the Medicaid program and opposition to program funding cuts in all 50 states. Year-over-year updated data on the site shows a significant increase in favorability toward the program nationwide \u2013 with some states seeing up to a 15-percentage point jump in just the past two years. The Alliance \u2013 convened by AHIP and including nearly 100 national and state partners \u2013 will engage in an extensive social media and digital advertising campaign through October to reach policymakers and advocates who can benefit from the tools available in the Medicaid Dashboard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-fwkdh-212ea64b2fae7ca329b32373e76e8d17\">\n#top .flex_column.av-fwkdh-212ea64b2fae7ca329b32373e76e8d17{\nborder-radius:0px;\n-webkit-border-radius:0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px;\npadding:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-fwkdh-212ea64b2fae7ca329b32373e76e8d17 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'   ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f\">\n.hr.av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nborder-color:#36437e;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f hr-custom  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_heading  avia-builder-el-first  hr-center hr-icon-no '><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-kbi04cfo-48109d2e7be0244712c1f84d24eefa7f\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-kbi04cfo-48109d2e7be0244712c1f84d24eefa7f{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#293a79;\nfont-size:30px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kbi04cfo-48109d2e7be0244712c1f84d24eefa7f .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#293a79;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-kbi04cfo-48109d2e7be0244712c1f84d24eefa7f av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  av-inherit-size '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >AMAG<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border'><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f\">\n.hr.av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nborder-color:#36437e;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f hr-custom  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no '><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>AMAG Pharmaceuticals recently announced that Vyleesi\u2122 (bremelanotide injection), a melanocortin receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women, is now commercially available through specialty pharmacies, Avella and BioPlus.

As of September 24, 2019, 805 confirmed and probable cases of lung injury associated with e-cigarette product use, or vaping, have been reported to CDC by 46 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Those cases included 12 deaths in 10 states (CA (2), GA, FL, IL, IN, KS (2), MN, MO, MS, OR). While this investigation is ongoing, CDC recommends refraining from using e-cigarette, or vaping, products, particularly those containing THC.

Utilizing eye-catching creative and digital audience targeting tactics, we were able to reach both English and Spanish-speaking older adults with certain pre-existing conditions with our important safety messaging. Our efforts generated 143.4 million impressions and more than 146,000 visits to an interactive Pain Reliever Checklist on KnowYourOTCs.org.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, over the summer, the foundation was busy publishing several new pieces of expert content to its consumer-facing website, including guides on sun safety, first-aid kits, and important conversations to have with your college student about medicine safety. We also expanded KnowYourOTCs.org content on heartburn and dietary supplements. Lastly, we are thrilled to announce that our KnowYourOTCs digital campaign recently took home two awards for its social media presence \u2013 Social Media Campaign of the Year (PR Daily\u2019s 2019 Digital Marketing and Social Media Awards) and On A Shoestring Campaign (PRNEWS\u2019 2019 PR Platinum Awards).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-fwkdh-212ea64b2fae7ca329b32373e76e8d17\">\n#top .flex_column.av-fwkdh-212ea64b2fae7ca329b32373e76e8d17{\nborder-radius:0px;\n-webkit-border-radius:0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px;\npadding:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-fwkdh-212ea64b2fae7ca329b32373e76e8d17 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'   ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f\">\n.hr.av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nborder-color:#36437e;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f hr-custom  avia-builder-el-28  el_before_av_heading  avia-builder-el-first  hr-center hr-icon-no '><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-kbi04cfo-0b290308ed4af5420cd32c67bad5c915\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-kbi04cfo-0b290308ed4af5420cd32c67bad5c915{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#293a79;\nfont-size:30px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kbi04cfo-0b290308ed4af5420cd32c67bad5c915 .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#293a79;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-kbi04cfo-0b290308ed4af5420cd32c67bad5c915 av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-29  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  av-inherit-size '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA)<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border'><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f\">\n.hr.av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nborder-color:#36437e;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-cfwxr-8780a6352bdf1858710bcd5b7ebcb52f hr-custom  avia-builder-el-30  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no '><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The National Consumers League is a partner with Allied Against Opioid Abuse (AAOA) \u2014 a national education and awareness initiative to help combat the nation&#8217;s opioid abuse epidemic that launched in February 2018.
