Millions Could Lose Health Insurance.

The Biden administration extended through July the public health emergency due to the Covid-19 new hike.

What are state agencies doing to prepare for the end of this federal mandate? What can people at risk do to prepare for the transition?

Guest: Mayra E. Alvarez, President, The Children’s Partnership, Los Angeles, CA

The Abortion Case of Lizelle Herrera. A Texas woman was charged with murder for an abortion and, after a public outcry, the charges were dropped. How does the new anti-abortion law in Texas apply in this case? When can anybody face prosecution? What are the takeaways of the case?
