SUMMARY:Webinar: Covering the lawsuit that could limit free preventive care
DESCRIPTION:12 p.m. ET Wednesday\, May 10 \nOne of the biggest health care stories of 2023 will break when the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas rules in the case of Braidwood Management v. Becerra. In this challenge to provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA)\, Christian-owned businesses and six individuals in Texas assert that the ACA’s requirements to cover preventive services without requiring patients to pay some of the costs of care is unconstitutional. If the court rules in the plaintiffs’ favor\, Americans may need to pay more for preventive health care. \nTo learn more about the implications of the lawsuit\, A. Mark Fendrick\, M.D.\, one of the nation’s leading experts on how cost-sharing harms patients\, joined AHCJ for a webcast on May 10. Fendrick explained how journalists can cover this story and how\, if the plaintiffs succeed on either constitutional or religious grounds\, it could limit or restrict the government’s ability to require health insurers and employers to cover evidence-based preventive services without cost-sharing. \nWatch the Recording  \nA. Mark Fendrick\, M.D. \nJoseph Burns \n A. Mark Fendrick\, M.D.\, is the founder and director of the Value-Based Insurance Design Center at the University of Michigan. He is also a professor of internal medicine in the university’s School of Medicine and a professor of Health Management and Policy in the university’s School of Public Health. A practicing physician\, Fendrick has seen how requiring consumers to pay for preventive health services causes patients to disregard physicians’ orders because they cannot afford to do so\, leading to adverse effects on patients’ health. Since founding the VBID in 2005\, Fendrick has advised Congress\, employers\, health plans and federal agencies on the need to eliminate patient cost-sharing. \nAdditional resources\n\nNo-Cost Preventive Services Are Now in Jeopardy.

DESCRIPTION:The St. Louis Union Station Hotel light show plays during the HJ23 Thursday night reception.(Photo by Zachary Linhares) \n\n\n\nHJ23 draws large crowd to the Gateway to the West\n\n\n\nBy AHCJ Staff \n\n\n\nMore than 550 people gathered in St. Louis for Health Journalism ’23\, with at least 300 organizations represented. \n\n\n\nAs always\, old friends and colleagues reconnected while new friendships and work relationships were formed\, facilitated by the nearly 40 meetups created during the event and 3\,000-plus messages sent to the community board in the conference app\, Whova. \n\n\n\n\nExhibitors\n\n\n\nHotel\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo field trips\, seven featured speakers\, a wide variety of panel discussions\, two evening receptions\, the annual awards luncheon\, plus a bonus trip to the historic Gateway Arch drew great reviews. Attendance was slightly higher than last year’s conference in Austin. \n\n\n\nAHCJ’s Board of Directors held its twice-yearly meeting the day before conference sessions began. They discussed trends in membership growth\, heard updates on AHCJ’s website redesign\, and learned about implementation of the new mentorship program. \n\n\n\nOther conference highlights\n\n\n\n\nIn an inspiring keynote address moderated by board member Marlene Harris-Taylor\, Pulitzer-prize-winning author Tracy Kidder and physician to the homeless Jim O’Connell\, M.D.\, talked about Kidder’s newest book\, “Rough Sleepers: Dr. Jim O’Connell’s Urgent Mission to Bring Healing to Homeless People.” The discussion delved into the causes and complex solutions to homelessness and how journalists can improve their reporting on the subject.\n\n\n\nIn a fireside chat moderated by AHCJ Executive Director Kelsey Ryan\, former U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams talked about growing up with severe asthma in rural Maryland and what it taught him about health inequities. Adams\, who is now a presidential fellow\,  executive director of health equity initiatives and a distinguished professor of practice in the Departments of Pharmacy Practice and Public Health at Purdue University in Indiana\, also addressed some of the criticisms he faced while working under former President Donald Trump. He called upon journalists to help make health news relevant to readers by using data from their communities and to try to be as apolitical as possible in reporting on health.\n\n\n\nAt PitchFest\, AHCJ’s signature freelance event\, 48 writers pitched their story ideas to 19 editors from publications including The Pulse\, AARP\, Juvenile Justice Info Exchange\, MedPage Today and Mindsite News.\n\n\n\nDuring the “Malignant misinformation: The quest for a ‘cure\,’” roundtable discussion\, co-moderated by Kaiser Family Foundation Senior Fellow Irving Washington and Washington Post reporter Lauren Weber\, the discussion focused on what technology companies\, medical journals and health communicators can do collaboratively to counter harmful falsehoods before they snowball. Google/YouTube Director and Global Head Healthcare and Public Health Garth Graham and JAMA editor-in-chief Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo were the featured speakers.\n\n\n\nRecipients of the 2022 Awards for Excellence in Health Care Journalism were also recognized in 14 reporting categories.\n\n\n\n\nIf you missed the conference or are looking for session summaries and resources\, check out coverage on AHCJ’s website\, visit the conference page in Novi or browse the conference media gallery to view photos from sessions\, receptions and more. \n\n\n\nThe conference was hosted by Washington University in St. Louis/BJC HealthCare and Missouri Foundation for Health.

Helmsley Charitable Trust\, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHOSTS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nENDOWING SPONSORS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPONSORS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
