For my California folks 👇🏽

Abortion policies currently in effect in California include the following:

State constitution protects abortion rights
Abortion is banned at fetal viability, generally 24–26 weeks of pregnancy
State Medicaid funds cover abortion
Private health insurance plans are required to cover abortion
Qualified health care professionals, not solely physicians, can provide abortions
State fund helps patients pay for abortion care
State provides protections from harassment and physical harm for anyone entering an abortion clinic
State has a shield law to protect abortion providers from investigations by other states; may cover patients and support organizations
State law protects data privacy for patients seeking reproductive health care

Because who doesn't love a good simulation of measles vaccination and herd immunity? www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...

Watch how the measles outbreak spreads when kids get vaccinated – and when they don't

If you take 10 communities and run a simulation, it’s easy to see why we need as many members of the ‘herd’ as possible to get vaccines – before it’s too late

DACA recipients who visit HealthCare.Gov & attempt to apply for 2025 coverage will see a note stating that they're not legally eligible. For now this will appear for applicants in all 31 HC.gov states, but they hope to update the system to only display it in the states involved in the lawsuit.

The states where #DACA eligibility has been shut down are: AL, AR, FL, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, MO, MT, NE, NH, ND, OH, SC, SD, TN, TX & VA.

16 of those are handled via the federal ACA exchange, HealthCare.Gov. The other 3 (ID, KY & VA) operate their own #ACA exchanges.

“Women leave or consider leaving [faculty positions] because of workplace climate more often than work-life balance.” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty

Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.

Insurers deny tens of millions of claims every year. ProPublica is investigating why claims are denied, what the consequences are for patients and how the appeal process really works.

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire owner of the LA Times, effectively killed an editorial which was critical of Trump’s cabinet nominations.

Soon-Shiong told editors they could only publish it if they published an opposing view at the same time.
