National Stockpile Was Never Intended To Be Panacea, Though It Didn’t Help That It Was Depleted

May 7, 2020 Morning Briefing

The stockpile wasn’t founded to be a bottomless pit, but rather to offer relief as part of a broader supply chain response. President Donald Trump blames his predecessor for not restocking the supply following the Swine Flu scare, but when pressed why he didn’t do so in his three-plus years in office, Trump said: “Well, I’ll be honest with you, I (had) a lot of things going on.”

May 20, 2020 Morning Briefing

President Donald Trump met with Republican senators in a freewheeling lunch where he touted his poll numbers. But when it came to stimulus plans, Trump demurred. “I asked him specifically whether he thought we needed to do another bill and what in his opinion should be in it. And he gave me a careful, artful answer, which tells me he’s not ready to say,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R., La.). Meanwhile, progressives in Congress see the pandemic as a way to push their agenda forward.

May 9, 2019 KFF Health News Original

Joanne Kenen of Politico, Jen Haberkorn of the Los Angeles Times and Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico join KHN’s Julie Rovner to discuss the latest news about the Trump administration’s effort to allow health care practitioners and organizations to refuse to provide care or refer patients for services that violate their conscience or religion. Also this week, the administration orders TV ads for prescription drugs to include list prices. And Tennessee wants free rein from the federal government to run its Medicaid program. Plus, Rovner interviews Joan Biskupic, author of a new book on Chief Justice John Roberts, about the behind-the-scenes negotiations that led to the 2012 ruling upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.

FDA Approves Emergency Use Of Malaria Drug Trump Touted Despite Scant Evidence That It Works

March 30, 2020 Morning Briefing

Scientists have been quick to try to counter President Donald Trump’s praise of a potential treatment for the coronavirus. But some say that since hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine at least don’t seem to worsen COVID-19, it might be worth the try. “We have literally nothing else to offer these patients other than supportive care,” said Dr. David Juurlink, an internist from Canada.

Study Finds Positive Results For Hydroxychloroquine

July 6, 2020 Morning Briefing

Whether or not the anti-malarial drug is effective has been a controversial question since President Donald Trump began hyping it in March. Now, Henry Ford Hospital researchers report a “significant reduction” in mortality rates with patients who were hospitalized between March 10 and May 2 and treated with it. But, adding to the debate around the drug’s power against the virus, the World Health Organization halts a trial using hydroxychloroquine and HIV treatment lopinavir-ritonavir in hospitalized COVID patients after interim results showed the drugs did not reduce mortality rates.

Trump Releases 3-Phase Plan To Reopen Country, But Admits Governors Are At The Wheel

April 17, 2020 Morning Briefing

“We are not opening all at once, but one careful step at a time,” President Donald Trump said. The plan leans heavily on the idea that some states that have not been as hard-hit can reopen quicker than hot spots. Trump also walked back prior claims that he has “total” authority on lifting shut-down measures. “You’re going to call your own shots,” he told governors on a call to discuss the guidelines.

April 27, 2020 Morning Briefing

The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation projected as few as 60,000 American deaths and a tapering off of the outbreak at the end of April.
