    The only major change is going to be vaccines costing money/requiring insurance now, though, right? It seemed like they already rolled back most other efforts ages ago.

      Here's an article I'd found from a few months ago indicating what exactly ending the emergency would entail: https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/30/politics/may-11-end-of-covid-and-public-health-emergencies/index.html

      That's basically the most major change with the emergency ending, yeah. Although it's technically decoupled from the emergency now, the biggest impact this month was that states started up the Medicaid redetermination process at the beginning of this month. And as a result of resuming the redetermination process, HHS estimated that 15 million could lose their insurance, including millions of children. :doomjak:

      Not a fucking peep from media outlets at the disastrous implications of potentially 15 million people losing their coverage in a short period of time: https://thecolumn.substack.com/p/cnn-sunday-morning-shows-completely

        It's only 5% of the population. No big deal. I heard there's good jobs, probably with insurance, down at the racism factory.

          At least with the rolling back of of child labor laws, those children may be able to access employer sponsored healthcare! :bear-despair:
