This week, #CMS issued guidance on a new opportunity for states to address #Medicaid managed care beneficiaries’ health-related social needs (HRSN, i.e., social determinants of health) through the use of “in lieu of services and settings.” States may offer alternative benefits that address a range of unmet HRSNs to help enrollees maintain their coverage and to improve their health outcomes.

South Carolina Supreme Court's "3-2 decision will mean the state’s six-week abortion ban with exceptions for rape and incest will be immediately and permanently struck down. Abortion will remain legal in South Carolina up until 22 weeks of pregnancy."

US Justice Dept pronouncement no complete guarantee of legal immunity for ppl involved in sending/receiving abortion drugs in states that restrict them. Doesn't preclude state laws to charge ppl & address if such acts violate fed laws beyond Comstock Act.

Terrific, informative historical read... Nicely elaborates on a point I've stressed the entire pandemic: Libertarian values are a key element of American culture and history, making state & even community pandemic response all the more challenging.

Hi, so I’m on the lookout for mastodon peeps in #healthpolicy, health services research #hsr and #pophealth!

My #introduction: I am a medical sociologist at William and Mary, whose research focuses on the intersection of racialization, immigration, and health. My work includes some historical demography (to study early immigrants in the early 1900s), some machine learning (to study MENA Americans when they don't have a box to check), and some cross-national comparison (mostly in Europe).
