In a very unusual White House press conference this week, President Donald Trump boldly condemned the recent increase in autism and the vaccine as a child. It has been a few days since the newly reconstructed vaccination advisory committee, filled with vaccine skepticists and opposition, voted to change long recommendations.
PODCAST Host Julie Rovner interviewed Demetre Daskalakis, head of the disease control and prevention center’s immune and respiratory disease centers until last month.
Meanwhile, as the government approaches the closure of the new fiscal funding, which starts on October 1, the Trump administration orders the federal agency not to stimulate the workers and the jobs are dismissed if they do not consist of the president’s priority.
This week’s panelist is Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Anna Edney in Bloomberg News and Sandhya Raman of CQ Roll Call.
Panelist
Take out this week’s episode:
- Wednesday night, the Federal Administration Bureau’s Budget Office sent a note to the government agency demanding an accident plan for the government closure from October 1. Such a note is not uncommon for the preliminary crushing plan. This time, an unprecedented transition was needed to tell the agency’s lack of alternative funding sources or that the mission should prepare for mass dismissal of the employee who conducted a program that did not match Trump’s priorities. The federal RIF or forced reduction and government closure occurred before, but the combined RIF/shutdown threats are the first.
- We seem to head to the shutdown. Before the fiscal year ended until September 30, the House of Representatives approved the stop gap financing measures. However, the House of Representatives leaves the Senate because they do not plan to return to Washington by October 6th. If the Senator changes something in the bill, another house will be needed. A different House of Representatives is required. This may not occur before the end of the moon due to the state schedule.
- There is also a struggle between parties. Republicans say that they want clean legislation to provide short -term funds, while the Democratic Party has different ideas. Their common attitude is that they were burned in March with this approach. This week, Trump also canceled meetings with Democratic leaders. The bottom line is that both sides are making a rider for a location that can blame the shutdown across the passage. Some people call it a three -dimensional chess game, and others call it a chicken game. Either way, there will be results.
- Confusion and confusion have recently emerged as a buzzword to explain the two events. The CDC Advisory Committee meeting on vaccination practices last week and the White House press conference on autism this week. Both were marked with a mixed message. For example, at the White House event, Trump warned pregnant women not to take tile lenol. But soon the FDA information disrupted the Tylenol risk.
- The Trump administration’s new $ 100,000 fee for the H-1B visa can affect your health care. These visas are often used to graduate from medical students and other medical professionals who come to the United States for training. This $ 100,000 commission caused almost immediate backlash in steep, hospitals and health systems, especially rural areas. Administrative officials suggested that health professionals are eligible to receive this fee exemption. What is not yet clear is the hoop that the sponsored hospital must run to qualify.
- Trump gave 17 pharmaceutical companies on September 29. It is to lower prices in the US dialogue, lower the price between pharmaceutical producers and pharmaceutical companies, while increasing the cost of pharmaceutical producers. So far, Trump is a sign that it can end with half a chunk. Some large -scale medicines have announced that they will raise the price of certain drugs in other countries, but they did not agree to lower the price of the US.
