The HHS Office of Minority Health was created under the Reagan Administration.
NEW w/ @RuthReader: HHS is eliminating offices that work on minority health, HIV and STIs.
HIV experts called it a "decimation" that will cost the government much more over time than any short-term savings.

KFF & @AP polling data finds President-Elect Donald Trump garnered small but important shares of votes among those who voted in favor of abortion ballot measures in their state, winning 4 states where voters also chose to expand or protect abortion access: on.kff.org/APVoteCast2024
ALT Alt text: Bar chart showing the percentage of voters who voted to protect abortion rights on their state ballot measure and who voted for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris by state. Each state’s bar is split to show the percentage for Harris in blue and Trump in red. States listed are Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New York, Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Ballot measures aimed at expanding abortion did not pass in Florida, Nebraska or South Dakota. Nebraska is the only state in this election to have two competing abortion-related ballot measures, so the chart shows data among voters in Nebraska who voted in favor of the initiative to protect abortion rights.

Violence against children is preventable.
Governments should:
🔹Invest in parenting support
🔹Increase safety at schools & prevent bullying
🔹Ensure child-friendly protective services;
🔹Enact laws that prohibit violence against children
🔹Enable safer internet use for children.
Such strategies can reduce violence against children by as much as 50%.

1 in 8 women with young children say it’s difficult to obtain contraceptive services in their state.
In states with abortion bans and 6-week limits, this increases to 1 in 5 — double the rate of those who live in states with few or no restrictions. on.kff.org/4fkYpPz

#MedicareDisadvantage plans “tend to have limited and unclear provider networks that allow them to dodge responsibility for patient health needs.
Original Medicare, in contrast, covers almost all providers.”
