HEALTH OVERHAUL-PENNSYLVANIA
Billions of dollars, better health care for Pennsylvania's poor and election-year politics are riding on Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's bid to bring Medicaid expansion money to the state under the 2010 federal health care law. But Pennsylvania's application is asking the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to break new ground on Medicaid policy, people who analyze and consult on states' Medicaid plans say, and it is not clear yet whether federal officials are ready to allow that.

BOSTON MARATHON-PENN STUDENT
PHILADELPHIA —Gillian Reny arrived for freshman orientation at the University of Pennsylvania in August, just days after she had started to walk again. Months earlier, on a sunny spring day, Gillian stood with her parents near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. They were cheering on her older sister when the first bomb exploded. Less than an hour later, she lay on an operating table at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where doctors having first saved her life, began the daunting battle to save her leg, much of the lower right calf blown away and the bone shattered. The Renys try not to dwell on what happened at the race, one year ago Tuesday. Yet they are determined to help victims of similar injuries and support the hospital and its staff. So they speak of that day in hopes of raising awareness for their "Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Fund." On April 21, Reny's mother; father, Steven; and sister, Danielle, will run this year's marathon to raise money and honor Gillian. Sue Snyder, The Philadelphia Inquirer. UPCOMING: 1,400 words.
