The Supreme Court made significant decisions with implications for healthcare, including overturning the Chevron deference, allowing the abortion pill mifepristone to remain available via telehealth, and ruling that hospitals in Idaho must allow emergency abortions to stabilize patients. The Chevron deference was overturned in a 6-3 ruling, impacting how executive agencies can implement laws passed by Congress. The decision on mifepristone allows expanded access to the drug, while the ruling on emergency abortions in Idaho temporarily restores a lower-court ruling permitting hospitals to conduct emergency abortions without prosecution. Overall, these decisions have far-reaching effects on healthcare regulations and access.
