Global, regional, and national #HealthCare #inefficiency and associated factors in 201 countries, 1995–2022: a stochastic frontier meta-analysis for the #GlobalBurdenOfDiseaseStudy 2023

#TheLancetGlobalHealth

"Expanding government-provided health-care coverage would decrease the inefficiency of the health-care system. Countries should also focus on strengthening #democracy, building #infrastructure, and increasing the use of, and access to, #PreventiveCare."

t.coSupreme Court upholds ACA’s preventive care coverageBy Annette Boyle
Continued thread

Next case:

Kennedy v. Braidwood

The court holds today that the appointment of the task force members is consistent with the Constitution.

Specifically the court rules that task force members can be removed at will by the Secretary of #HHS, & their recommendations about preventive services are reviewaable by the secretary before they take effect.

#SCOTUS #law #Constitution #PreventiveCare #ACA #health

🧵

Continued thread

#Kennedy v. Braidwood Management — does the #Constitution require members of the Preventive Services Task Force to be #appointed by the president & #confirmed by the #Senate? It concerns the legality of a portion of the #ACA that requires #health plans to provide #free #PreventiveCare such as #cancer screenings, #contraception & #immunizations.

Mahmoud v. Taylor — #Maryland public #schools & #LGBTQ+ subject matter

#Trump v. CASA — #BirthrightCitizenship

#SCOTUS #law
🧵

Continued thread

"The secretary can remove them at will, & the threat of removal is the ultimate tool for control over final decisions on recommendations," #Trump #DOJ lawyers wrote.

For this & other reasons, DOJ lawyers argued, the #USPSTF's members should be seen as so-called "inferior officers," meaning they can be lawfully appointed by an executive branch dept head - like #HHS secy #RFKJr - & do not require #Senate confirmation under the #Constitution.

Continued thread

The #conservative #5thCircuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2024 that the task force's structure violates the #Constitution, as plaintiffs claimed.

The govt's appeal of the 5th Circuit's decision initially was filed by Democratic President #Biden's admin before being taken up by Republican Pres #Trump's admin.

Trump's admin argued in a #SCOTUS brief that the #USPSTF's #PreventiveCare recs cannot become legally binding on insurers w/o the #HHS secy's [#RFKJr] permission.

Continued thread

Several #Texas #Christians & 2 small businesses sued in federal court in Texas in 2020 to challenge the #USPSTF,'s structure. It is the latest in a years-long series of challenges to the 2010 #law, Pres #Obama's signature #legislative achievement, to reach #SCOTUS.

If the justices uphold the lower court's ruling, #health associations said in a filing, life-saving tests & treatments that have been cost-free would become subject to co-pays & deductibles.

#SCOTUS this week:

The debate over #Religious #freedom & #ParentalRights is back at the #SupremeCourt.

Justices will consider whether #PublicSchools can stop parents removing students from lessons using #LGBTQ+ themed #books. The issue has divided a #Maryland community.

Justices will weigh the future of #free #PreventiveCare today.

And #police officers who joined the rally before the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection asked justices for anonymity.

🕷️ In Baden-Württemberg gibt es die ersten FSME-Erkrankungen. Aufgrund des milden Winters hat die Zeckensaison in diesem Jahr bereits im Januar begonnen. FSME ist eine Viruserkrankung, für die es keine Therapiemöglichkeiten gibt. Der beste Schutz gegen eine FSME-Infektion ist daher die Impfung. Bereits ab zwei Impfungen besteht ein #Schutz. Spätestens nach einem Jahr sollte mit der dritten #Impfung der Schutz vervollständigt werden.
