Last spring, I wrote about a new FDA rule that would bring scrutiny to critical lab tests that reach patients without any federal agency checking to ensure they work the way their makers claim. The rule cited two of our @propublica.org investigations ...

NEW: St. Luke’s, Idaho’s largest health system, is the one major institution standing in the way of a ban on emergency abortion care in Idaho — a move that would make the state’s policy one of the most extreme in the country. With @statesnewsroom.com

Everyone can feel it—there’s been a substantial shift in energy around DEI initiatives in America. As companies revise their commitments, many of us are watching and wondering what this means for health equity. mavenpreprint.substack.com/p/progress-a...

We’ve known from the work of @pamherd.bsky.social & @donmoyn.bsky.social, Ben Sommers, and others that work requirements don’t actually increase employment, but instead have the core effect of imposing significant administrative burdens on enrollees struggling to navigate the system. And by design.

The posts on Bluesky denigrating the recently murdered CEO of UHC make me believe this platform is not so different from the other awful platform so many here people fled from. It was a cold-blooded assassination of a human with a family and that is terrible. Full stop.

Brilliant, this: "In demography, the future is already here. No policy can increase the number of babies born yesterday." Fully agree: support people to get the number of children they want, at the time of their choosing.

Data on stillbirths in the US is frequently incomplete, delayed and is sometimes inaccurate, particularly when it comes to cause of death. Data on stillbirth risk factors and race also is deficient. And it’s getting worse. By @irenatfh.bsky.social, Sophie Chou, and @deldeib.bsky.social

The Failure to Track Data on Stillbirths Undermines Efforts to Prevent Them
