Gregg Margolis: Three Things About Health Policy This Week
Gregg Margolis, Director of Health Policy Fellowships and Leadership Programs at the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“If you can only read three things about health policy this week, I suggest…
The New York Times: Trump Got The Green Light To Fire Federal Workers. Now, They Wait. For weeks, thousands of federal employees have been waiting for the Supreme Court to make a decision about their continued employment with the government. On Tuesday, they got their answer: The Trump administration could move ahead with mass layoffs. The question of whether the layoffs are legal remains unanswered. For now, workers remain in limbo, this time waiting for their agencies to decide who stays, who goes and when. (Sullivan and Cameron, 7/8)
The New York Times: Medical Societies Sue Kennedy And H.H.S. Over Vaccine Advice Six leading medical organizations filed a lawsuit on Monday against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, and the federal Department of Health and Human Services, charging that recent decisions limiting access to vaccines were unscientific and harmful to the public. The suit, filed in federal court in western Massachusetts, seeks to restore Covid vaccines to the list of recommended immunizations for healthy children and pregnant women. (Mandavilli, 7/7)
The Washington Post: What Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Means For Your Health Care If you’re among the 78 million people on Medicaid or the 24 million with a health plan from the insurance marketplaces, changes to how you qualify for and enroll in coverage — and what medical providers are available to you — could be on the way. Republicans are looking to squeeze savings from these two major programs that provide many lower-income and disabled Americans with health coverage, as they hustle to pass a huge, tax-cut-extending legislative package President Donald Trump has demanded before July 4. (Winfield Cunningham and Abutaleb, 7/1)
