The Biden Administration has approved Oregon's transformative Section 1115 Medicaid request which will provide a major new support for young families.

It's a measure of how critical #earlyed has become that's the subject of a fascinating panel Yidan Prize: Stanford Graduate School of Education Lisa Chamberlain, Pediatrician Pratham Education Foundation and more:

Major Medicaid advances in approval of new 1115 waivers from Oregon and Massachusetts. Continuous eligibility till age 6 in OR; much for children/youth in MA! Moving forward! #tweetiatrician #mghfc #putkids1st cms.gov/newsroom/press…

This is a really smart approach for improving health outcomes by aligning economic incentives for plans. I hope others follow! California’s Marketplace Innovations: Driving Health Plan Accountability For Quality And Equity | Health Affairs Forefront healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/for…

Children can’t vote, but we can! Remember to #VoteKids on Tuesday, November 8 because children’s futures depend on it.

For those following the Medicaid expansion ballot initiative in South Dakota tonight (currently winning but its early), the biggest margin of victory was in Idaho where 61% voted yes in 2018. The last two MedEx ballots in 2020 (OK 50.5% and MO 53%) were much closer.

This is huge: New Mexico voters have overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that will pump an estimated $150 million annually into early childhood education. abqjournal.com/2547588/voters…

Medicaid expansion has been winning all night in South Dakota. Hard to imagine it will be the state to end the unbeaten winning streak of Medicaid expansion with voters in Republican states.

Congratulations to Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D. and Stanford Pediatrics Residency Program alum for her re-election. We need more pediatricians in Congress!

'More than 100,000 Americans missed work last month because of child-care problems, an all-time high that’s even greater than during the height of the pandemic, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.' Child-care is infrastructure. washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…

CCHA CEO & President @anlukuhns on how to help children’s hospitals: “The current regulatory flexibilities for hospitals that are made possible by the state’s public health emergency declarations allow hospitals to take quick action to address a surge like this.” #RSVSurge

Recent #Medicaid waivers approved in #AR, #AZ, #MA and #OR include services to address food insecurity and/or housing instability for targeted populations. We examine how these & other Section 1115 waivers aim to address health-related social needs. kff.org/medicaid/issue…
