By Molly Castle Work October 4, 2024 KFF Health News Original

As Nov. 5 approaches and the struggle for control of the U.S. House reaches a fever pitch, Democrats are doing everything they can to tie their Republican opponents to their antiabortion voting records.

By Sarah Boden and Drew Hawkins, Gulf States Newsroom January 22, 2026 KFF Health News Original

Amid Plummeting Diversity at Medical Schools, a Warning of DEI Crackdown’s ‘Chilling Effect’

By Annie Sciacca March 20, 2025 KFF Health News Original

Enrollment of underrepresented groups at medical schools fell precipitously this academic year after the Supreme Court’s 2023 ban on affirmative action. Education and health experts worry the Trump administration’s anti-DEI measures will only worsen the situation, even in states like California that have navigated bans on race-conscious admissions for years.

By Bernard J. Wolfson October 28, 2025 KFF Health News Original

Parents Fear Losing Disability Protections as Trump Slashes Civil Rights Office

By Fred Clasen-Kelly September 15, 2025 KFF Health News Original

The Education Department’s civil rights office often intervenes when students face discrimination based on race, sex, religion, or disability and their families can’t resolve complaints locally. Parents fear the effort to gut the federal agency will leave them with nowhere to seek justice.

Project 2025 Would Recast HHS as the Federal Department of Life

By Stephanie Armour August 22, 2024 KFF Health News Original

It has become a rhetorical theme for Democrats working to hold on to the White House: Allies of former president Donald Trump, they say, want to infuse conservative ideals into how the federal government does business. That vision is outlined in the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership,” a 900-page blueprint produced by the conservative Heritage Foundation and other conservative organizations […]

Can House Republicans Cut $880 Billion Without Slashing Medicaid? It’s Likely Impossible.

By Madison Czopek, PolitiFact and Amy Sherman, PolitiFact March 13, 2025 KFF Health News Original

A Republican House resolution, which needs the Senate’s buy-in, directed a committee to propose ways to reduce the deficit by at least $880 billion over a decade. Lawmakers have taken Medicare off the table for cuts, which makes it impossible to reach $880 billion without cutting Medicaid.

What the Health? From KFF Health News: Public Health Further Politicized Under the Threat of More Firings

September 25, 2025 Podcast

In a rambling news conference that shocked public health experts, President Donald Trump — without scientific evidence — blamed the over-the-counter drug acetaminophen, and too many childhood vaccines, for the increase in autism diagnoses in the U.S. That came days after a key immunization advisory panel, newly reconstituted with vaccine doubters, changed several long-standing recommendations. Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official Demetre Daskalakis joins KFF Health News’ Julie Rovner to discuss those stories. Meanwhile, Sandhya Raman of CQ Roll Call and Anna Edney of Bloomberg News join Rovner with the rest of the news, including a threat by the Trump administration to fire rather than furlough federal workers if Congress fails to fund the government beyond the Oct. 1 start of the new fiscal year.
