Past issues

ACA Open Enrollment opens November 1. The math changed.
The tax credits are smaller this year, so we start with what to do on HealthCare.gov before December 15. Then the six stroke signs to know by October 29.

#8
Sickle cell pain care has a one-hour standard
It's Sickle Cell Awareness Month and Suicide Prevention Month. We start with what an adult with sickle cell should get in the ER, then what really happens when you call 988.

This week from Black Health
School is back and this week leans on access: the September asthma checklist, therapy that takes Medicaid, dermatology without insurance, and the real 2026 numbers on GLP-1 coverage.

A record high, a first pill, a price cap. Three places the system stops short of Black families.
