House Votes to Gut A.D.A.

In a 225-192 vote Thursday, most House Republicans and a dozen Democrats passed a bill that makes it harder for disabled persons to sue for discrimination, in an effort to prevent opportunistic attorneys from taking advantage of business owners. But many disability and civil rights groups fear the bill will weaken incentives for businesses to […]

Obscure Report Documents Racial Health Inequalities

In my previous post, I shared the story of my discovery of the now-defunct National Negro Health Week (NNHW) and Booker T. Washington’s role in establishing it. I would paraphrase their major message as, “If health is the doorway to the future of the race, education is the key.”

NJ Transition Team Calls for Focus on Equity in Care

Healthcare experts have urged the Murphy administration to prioritize efforts to grow and sustain insurance coverage, better integrate behavioral and physical care systems, improve end-of-life planning, and boost the use of data and other technologies. Read More

Dreamers’ Health

Dreamers, or the young adults who were brought to this country illegally by their parents and who have received protection from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, have been at the center of a contentious fight over the federal budget, immigration reform, and border security. Yet lost in this politically-charged conflict […]

Bill Creates Rural Health Liaison at USDA

As tensions escalate between the U.S. and China, one crop is emerging as the most powerful weapon in a potential trade war: the soybean.

Nassar Scandal Prompts Flurry of Bills

LANSING, Mich. — The Larry Nassar scandal is prompting Michigan lawmakers to propose policy and funding changes to address sexual assaults, particularly on college campuses.

Oregon Lawmakers Vote to Make Healthcare a Right

Oregon’s Legislature took a step Tuesday toward enshrining the right to health care in the state Constitution, a move that would be unprecedented in the United States but raises serious funding questions. The House of Representatives’ 35-25 endorsement of the bill sends it to the state Senate, whose approval would put the proposed constitutional amendment […]

Black Barbershops Health Promote Heart Health

Health, specifically cardiovascular health, continues to quietly impact lives in the Black community. It is true that cardiovascular disease affects Americans from all backgrounds, but Black men are disproportionately affected. According to the Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics released annually by The American Heart Association, about half of all Black males have some form of […]

Budget Cuts Funds for Tracking Global Disease

There’s a glaring hole in President Trump’s budget proposal for 2019, global health researchers say. A U.S. program to help other countries beef up their ability to detect pathogens around the world will lose a significant portion of its funding. The ambitious program, called Global Health Security Agenda, was launched in early 2014, aiming to […]

Trump Budget Slashes Funds for HHS

A major target of the budget is Medicaid, which sees more than $1 trillion in cuts and is turned into a block grant program with greater power to states to implement means-testing. The document assumes repeal of most of the ACA, but interestingly includes funding for risk corridor and cost-sharing payments for insurers. The plan […]

A No-Brainer

It began, as so many things do these days, with a Donald Trump tweet. Frustrated by his inability to kill the ‘Obamacare’ expansion of public healthcare provision in the United States, Trump seized on a protest about the under-funding of Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) in London last Saturday to trash the entire concept of […]
