Adam Laughton's Week in Healthcare (Not Spring Break for Me Edition) In personal news, many of you probably saw my announcement earlier this week about a presentation I am giving at next month's UT Health Law Conference. I am really excited about it, and excited to be talking about a topic that could still be changing (see below) even as we are preparing and giving the presentation. Texas Medical Board Places Emergency Abortions on Agenda for Discussion at March meeting (https://lnkd.in/g5-G4j25 see item 28). This has been a long time coming. Physicians and others in Texas have been begging TMB to issue some guidance about what actually constitutes an emergency for purposes of getting an abortion in Texas. Now it looks like they may actually be moving forward with it. OCR Announces Investigation of Change Healthcare Attack (https://lnkd.in/gJ2tnwnj) There's really no bigger story in healthcare right now than this cyberattack, which has crippled the operations of a major insurer and plan administrator. Lots of providers going without cash flow because of it. Now OCR is opening an investigation into the attack, which is, to my knowledge, the first time something like this has occurred. #healthcare

As anti-trans laws restricting bodily autonomy are passed across the country in record numbers, Maryland must continue to protect its trans community and implement more robust protections for gender-affirming care. FreeState Justice is working with advocates nationwide to expand existing protections for this lifesaving healthcare. In the last session, the legislature established a new category of legally protected healthcare. The package of laws are a shield against hostile states who pursue legal action against Marylanders for seeking and providing legally protected healthcare, provided the actions are not considered a crime in our state. Currently, reproductive care is the only care category classified as "legally protected." The goal for next year is to apply those same safeguards to gender-affirming care and expand on the policy successes of 2023. Let's champion healthcare inclusivity and protection - you can get involved today at the link in our bio!
