TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Locals in this city of 58,000 are used to having to wait at railroad crossings for one of the dozens of daily cargo trains to pass through. But a proposed merger between the two hospitals on either side of the city could exacerbate the problem in emergencies if the hospitals shut down some services, such as trauma care, at one site, which the proposal cites as a possibility. Tom High, fire chief of a nearby township, said some first responders would be forced to transport critical patients farther, risking longer delays, if they become what locals call “railroaded” by a pas...

California lawmakers on Thursday passed a 2024-25 budget that rejected Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal to cut in-home supportive services for low-income older, blind, and disabled immigrants lacking legal residency. However, the Democratic governor has not said whether he’ll use his line-item veto authority to help close the state’s $45 billion deficit. The legislature, controlled by Democrats, passed a $211 billion general fund spending plan for the fiscal year starting July 1 by drawing more from the state’s rainy-day fund and reducing corporate tax deductions to prevent cuts to health and soci...

SACRAMENTO, California – Las normas propuestas para proteger del calor extremo a los trabajadores de California podrían extenderse a las escuelas, exigiendo a los distritos escolares que busquen distintas formas de mantener las aulas frescas. Si este mes se aprueban las nuevas reglas de protección laboral contra el calor extremo, los empleadores del estado más poblado del país tendrán que buscar el modo de proporcionar alivio a las personas que trabajan en almacenes asfixiantes, cocinas llenas de vapor y otros espacios peligrosamente calurosos. Estas mismas normas se extenderán a las escuelas,...

For Diana Perez, a medical resident at the Family Health Center of Harlem, the handwritten thank-you note she received from a patient is all the evidence she needs that she has chosen the right training path. Perez helped the patient, a homeless, West African immigrant who has HIV and other chronic conditions, get the medications and care he needed. She also did the paperwork that documented his medical needs for the nonprofit that helped him apply for asylum and secure housing. “I really like whole-person care,” said Perez, 31, who has been based at this New York City health center for most o...

KFF Health News senior correspondent Angela Hart appeared on Spectrum News 1’s “LA Times Today” last week to explain how California is trying to help hard-drug users kick their habit by paying them to stay clean. California was the first state to expand access to this cutting-edge addiction treatment, called “contingency management,” in its Medicaid program. Washington and Montana have since followed. California is focusing on stimulants like meth and cocaine. Under the program, participants must pee into a cup regularly, and if the urine is free of stimulants, they get paid with a gift card, ...

G Kumar’s vaping addiction peaked in college at the University of Colorado, when flavored, disposable vapes were taking off. “I’d go through, let’s say, 1,200 puffs in a week,” Kumar said. Vaping became a crutch for them. Like losing a cellphone, losing a vape pen would set off a mad scramble. “It needs to be right next to my head when I fall asleep at night, and then in the morning, I have to thrash through the sheets and pick it up and find it,” Kumar recalled. They got sick often, including catching covid-19 — and vaping through all of it. Kumar, now 24, eventually quit. But many of their g...
