Read Julie’s story. Julie Rovner is the head of Washington Correspondent and KFF Health News Weekly Health Policy News, “What the Health?” JULIE, a famous expert on health policy issues, is the author of the “Health Care Politics and Policy a to Z”, which is critically praised in the third edition.
A few days after dismissing a new director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sometimes defended the behavior and other people before the skeptical committee. Kennedy’s more and more criticism of the anti -breeding behavior came from some Republican members, who are medical doctors, as well as the Democratic Party of the panel.
Meanwhile, parliamentarians have only a few weeks left to complete the work on expenditure or to be closed, and the premiums for AFORDABLE CARE ACT health plans, which will expire in addition to the additional Biden era, have increased significantly.
This week’s panelist is Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Jessie Hellmann, Pink Sheet’s Sarah Karlin-Smith and Politico Alice Miranda Ollstein.

Take out this week’s episode:
- The FDA approved the Cobid booster of the year to people aged 65 and over this year and young people with serious illnesses. Previously, it was recommended more extensively. All eyes will be returned to the CDC’s vaccination advisory committee, which is now scheduled to meet on September 18. In general, this panel will approve these recommendations and provide more guidelines for the use of boosters for a particular population. But it’s not clear whether you can do that or to impose more limitations.
- Kennedy’s CDC Director Susan Monarez is fired and the follow -up resignation of several senior scientists is questioning the future of the institution. Many employees on the fence are increasingly likely to leave. Many of these career scientists associate the harsh criticism of Kennedy’s public health workers with the recent CDC shooting in Atlanta. But after the shooting, Kennedy seems to have doubled in his position.
- Even the Republican Party, who criticized Kennedy at a hearing before the Senate Financial Services Commission, paid attention not to criticize President Donald Trump. This duality has several speculations for driving a wedge between Kennedy and the White House and conveying that HHS can be politically damaged.
- If you use Flux’s policy as a vaccine policy, the red and blue status seem to be doing your own. Some people, such as California, Oregon, and Washington, are called the West Coast Health Alliance, which seems to take measures to protect the access to the vaccine. The red state can move in the other direction. For example, this week, General Florida Surgery Joseph Ladapo announced an effort to cancel all the vaccines of the state, including what a child needs a specific vaccine to attend school. If more stocks are followed, vaccine availability and requirements can lead to other regional patchwork.
- This month is the last chance of a member of the National Assembly to resume the Federal ACA tax subsidies. If Congress does not act to extend them, many of them will increase the cost of health insurance premiums for about 24 million people living in GOP contrasts such as Georgia and Florida. There is a story that Congress can choose a short -term or limited extension to postpone the impact of pockets until the midterm elections. However, insurers are already considering uncertainty by setting up the upcoming plan.
- The Medicare & Medicaid Services Center has announced a Medicare pilot program that will use artificial intelligence to give prior approval decisions for specific procedures from next year. There is irony here. United Healthcare and other personal plans have already had a lot of difficulties in doing this work, and the AI system often refused to treat.
Also this week, Lobe You interview KFF Health News Tony Leys. Tony Leys of KFF Health News talks about the unfortunate interaction with the “bill of the month” of women’s unfortunate interactions and the bill for the treatment of rabies.
