What remains unclear is whether this case succeeded because of compelling evidence of negligence by the shooter\u2019s mother or if this could become a new avenue for gun control advocates to pursue.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a prominent publisher of medical journals has retracted two articles that lower-court judges used in reaching decisions that the abortion pill mifepristone should be restricted. The case is before the Supreme Court, with oral arguments scheduled for March 26.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s panelists are Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, and Rachana Pradhan of KFF Health News.<\/p>\n<p>Among the takeaways from this week\u2019s episode:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sage Journals, a major medical publisher, has retracted two studies central to abortion opponents\u2019 arguments in a federal court case over access to the abortion pill mifepristone. Although the retraction came before next month\u2019s Supreme Court hearing on the case, the now-discredited studies have permeated the public debate over mifepristone.<\/li>\n<li>Florida\u2019s Supreme Court has until April 1 to stop a measure about the availability of abortion from appearing on the November ballot. The decision could be pivotal in determining abortion access in the South, as Florida\u2019s current 15-week ban (compared with near-total bans in surrounding states) has made it a regional destination for abortion care.<\/li>\n<li>In Medicaid news, the nation is about halfway through the \u201cunwinding,\u201d the redetermination process states are undergoing to strip ineligible beneficiaries from the program\u2019s rolls. Although the process will amount to the biggest purge of the Medicaid and Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program rolls in a one-year period, it is expected that, when all is said and done, overall enrollment will look much as it did before the pandemic \u2014 though how many people are left uninsured remains to be seen.<\/li>\n<li>In the states, Georgia is suing the Biden administration to extend its Medicaid work-requirement program. Meanwhile, some states are using Medicaid funding to address housing issues. Despite evidence that addressing housing insecurity can improve health, it is also clear that state budgets would need to be adjusted to meet those needs.<\/li>\n<li>And in \u201cThis Week in Health Misinformation,\u201d PolitiFact awarded a \u201cPants on Fire!\u201d rating to the claim \u2014 in a fundraising ad for Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) \u2014 that Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, \u201cbrought COVID to Montana\u201d a year before it spread through the U.S., among other spurious claims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block block--newsletter  \" data-type=\"kaiser-health-news\/newsletter\" data-align=\"center\" style=\"\">\n<h4 class=\"newsletter__title\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/email\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tEmail Sign-Up\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t<\/h4>\n<p class=\"newsletter__description\">\n\t\tSubscribe to KFF Health News&#8217; free Morning Briefing.\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Plus, for \u201cextra credit,\u201d the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Julie Rovner:<\/strong> Alabama Daily News\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aldailynews.com\/alabama-lawmakers-briefed-on-new-all-health-insurance-coverage-expansion-plan\/\">Alabama Lawmakers Briefed on New \u2018ALL Health\u2019 Insurance Coverage Expansion Plan<\/a>,\u201d by Alexander Willis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alice Miranda Ollstein:<\/strong> Stat\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2024\/02\/02\/fda-urged-to-move-faster-to-fix-pulse-oximeters-for-darker-skinned-patients\/\">FDA Urged to Move Faster to Fix Pulse Oximeters for Darker-Skinned Patients<\/a>,\u201d by Usha Lee McFarling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah Karlin-Smith:<\/strong> The Atlantic\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2024\/02\/gofundme-health-care-hospitals\/677353\/\">GoFundMe Is a Health-Care Utility Now<\/a>,\u201d by Elisabeth Rosenthal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rachana Pradhan:<\/strong> North Carolina Health News\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcarolinahealthnews.org\/2024\/02\/05\/atrium-health-a-unit-of-local-government-like-no-other\/\">Atrium Health: A Unit of \u2018Local Government\u2019 Like No Other<\/a>,\u201d by Michelle Crouch and Charlotte Ledger.<\/p>\n<p>Also mentioned on this week\u2019s podcast:<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p><em>To hear all our podcasts,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/news\/tag\/podcast\/\"><u>click here<\/u><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And subscribe to KFF Health News\u2019 \u201cWhat the Health?\u201d on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/32EdsB662C3oyIrqLMmBXI?si=TQhRjzzLTgWtK3crfbOFtA\"><u>Spotify<\/u><\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/what-the-health\/id1253607372?mt=2\"><u>Apple Podcasts<\/u><\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.pocketcasts.com\/web\/podcasts\/a379e280-3f57-0135-9028-63f4b61a9224\"><u>Pocket Casts<\/u><\/a>, or wherever you listen to podcasts.<\/em><\/p>\n<section class=\"block--category-tag-list \">\n<div class=\"category-tag-list__content-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"block--category-tag-list__title\">\n\t\t\t\tRelated Topics\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"category-tag-list__contact-link\" href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/contact-us\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tContact Us\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<a class=\"category-tag-list__tip-link\" href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/tips\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tSubmit a Story Tip\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Host For the first time, a jury has convicted a parent on charges related to their child\u2019s mass-shooting crime: A Michigan mother of a school shooter was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
