Julie Rovner, the chief Washington correspondent and host of KFF Health News’ podcast “What the Health?” discussed the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling that embryos are legally children. Lawmakers in Alabama and Florida are dealing with the impact of this ruling on in vitro fertilization. Congress is close to a funding deal for the fiscal year, but priorities like overhauling the pharmacy benefit manager industry may not be included. Physicians are leaving Idaho due to strict abortion bans, and a cyberattack targeting patient information raises concerns about consolidation in healthcare.
