Recent #Medicaid waivers approved in #AR, #AZ, #MA and #OR include services to address food insecurity and/or housing instability for targeted populations. We examine how these & other Section 1115 waivers aim to address health-related social needs. kff.org/medicaid/issue…

CCHA CEO & President @anlukuhns on how to help children’s hospitals: “The current regulatory flexibilities for hospitals that are made possible by the state’s public health emergency declarations allow hospitals to take quick action to address a surge like this.” #RSVSurge

'More than 100,000 Americans missed work last month because of child-care problems, an all-time high that’s even greater than during the height of the pandemic, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.' Child-care is infrastructure. washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…

Congratulations to @RepKimSchrier and @stanfordPedsRes alum for her re-election. We need more pediatricians in Congress!

@spenschen @AHAScience So great to work with you, Spenser. @URochester_SMD you’ve got one heck of a super star in @spenschen !

Grateful for the mentorship from @LisaChaMD, Sue Fernandes, and Emily Johnston, and for the opportunity to share our work at #AHA22 on a topic so dear to my family: achieving end-of-life equity for children with advanced heart disease. @AHAScience

Medicaid expansion has been winning all night in South Dakota. Hard to imagine it will be the state to end the unbeaten winning streak of Medicaid expansion with voters in Republican states.

For those following the Medicaid expansion ballot initiative in South Dakota tonight (currently winning but its early), the biggest margin of victory was in Idaho where 61% voted yes in 2018. The last two MedEx ballots in 2020 (OK 50.5% and MO 53%) were much closer.

This is huge: New Mexico voters have overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that will pump an estimated $150 million annually into early childhood education. abqjournal.com/2547588/voters…

Children can’t vote, but we can! Remember to #VoteKids on Tuesday, November 8 because children’s futures depend on it.
