Federally-funded community health centers are losing money and sometimes closing locations to stay afloat. The future is even more bleak with at least 2 million community health center patients expected to lose Medicaid coverage by 2034 and 2 million more who are newly uninsured…


Only about half of U.S. adults (51%) believe basic health care is affordable and accessible — a 10% drop since 2022. 1 in 5 Americans say that they or someone in their household couldn't pay for prescription medications in the past three months. axios.com/2025/11/18/hea…

@CMAdocs obtained clarification that Cigna’s pause on implementation of “Evaluation and Management Coding Accuracy” downcoding policy applies to fully insured commercial HMO and PPO products, but not self-insured plans. CMA urges full policy withdrawal. cmadocs.org/newsroom/news/…


Steep cuts to Medicaid will destabilize a precarious balance for @yourMLKCH & other urban safety-net hospitals. A new Harvard analysis suggests that many of the hospitals most at risk of closing services or even their doors look like MLK. nytimes.com/2025/11/18/ups…

Consumers must sign up for a plan in Dec for insurance coverage to begin in Jan. If Congress hasn’t reached a deal by then, they will either pay higher premiums or pick a plan with less coverage. Some consumers could decide to do without coverage until Feb, or they could drop out…

Premiums were already set to rise next year, but without the subsidies they will climb far more sharply. Insurers are increasing premiums 30% in states that use HealthCare.gov, and by 17% in states that run their own marketplaces. nbcnews.com/health/health-…

Millions who will lose access to ACA subsidies are looking at a jump in premiums, in some cases hundreds of dollars a month or more. Congressional Budget Office estimates that 2 million Americans will lose insurance altogether next year as prices rise. nytimes.com/2025/11/11/us/…

Small-business owners are among those who stand to lose the most should Congress let the additional, generous federal subsidies put in place. “Knowing that they’re going to have to pay $4,000 or $5,000 more a year to stay on their insurance is a tough pill to swallow.”…


One father of three said his health insurance premium will double without the enhanced premium tax credit, so he is weighing whether to drop coverage and forego diagnostic tests he’s supposed to have annually. sacbee.com/news/local/hea…

Despite physicians’ commitments to their patients, third parties in health care are making decisions that can prevent patients from getting the care they need. #YourCareisatOurCore nbcnews.com/health/health-…


In CA, increasing the geographic density of FQHCs was associated with a 26%-35% drop in ED use among uninsured patients btw 2005 and 2013. But what happens when they close? “Closures are going to destabilize an already fragile infrastructure." beckershospitalreview.com/care-coordinat…
