New from @josephinelee: Many of Jodey Arrington's constituents stand to lose access to both their healthcare and their local hospitals under the massive tax-and-spending bill, which will slash Medicaid and ACA spending by more than $1T and knock 10M more people off of insurance nationwide. https://www.texasobserver.org/jodey-arrington-obbba-cuts-west-texas-rural-hospitals/

Doctor in your pocket—a medicolegal black box?

"The tightly regulated professional lives of UK doctors is starkly contrasted against a wild west “tech brotopia” we are being told is the only way to save the NHS."

A federal judge in #Maine declined on Monday to block the #government from stripping #Medicaid #funding from one of Maine’s largest #abortion providers, finding that to do so would override “the will of the people as expressed by Congress.”

At issue is a provision of the tax & spending bill Congress passed in July that would deny abortion providers Medicaid funding even for #health services other than performing abortions.

In a blunt, 19-page opinion, Judge Lance E. Walker of the Federal District Court in #Maine wrote that particularly after the #SCOTUS decision in 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade, he could neither consider #abortion services a constitutional right nor stop #Congress from advancing laws to defund organizations that provide them.
