#NewOnKHN: Democrats are united behind an idea that Republican lawmakers and major drugmakers fiercely oppose: empowering the @HHSGov to negotiate the prices of brand-name drugs covered by Medicare.

President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan will significantly expand the number of people eligible for federal help in paying their health plan premiums, one of the most significant changes to insurance affordability in more than a decade. https://t.co/CwahG6XwC5

[Emmarie Huetteman @emmarieDC]

President Biden is getting one of his top health care priorities out of the relief package -- a significant boost to help people buy private insurance on the exchanges (for two years): https://t.co/NpvUgDV6he

House Armed Services Ranking Member Rogers (R-AL) at Defense Dept COVID-19 response hearing asked whether US troops are deployable even if they have not been vaccinated.

"Yes sir."- Major General Jeff Taliaferro, Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Director for Operations, responds.

[Andrew Clevenger @andclev]

About 33 percent (!!!) of DOD servicemembers are declining COVID vaccines, Gen. Jeff Taliaferro, Vice Director for Operations for Joint Chiefs, tells HASC hearing on DOD response to COVID. That's a number the Pentagon has refused to share with reporters when asked repeatedly.

[Emmarie Huetteman @emmarieDC]

President Biden & 10 Senate Republicans agree on how much to spend on critical public health needs like vaccinations. There's still a long way to go before states see that money: https://t.co/tXCf02FWFv

Have you tried sometime in the past ten days to get an appointment for a COVID test at one of the testing sites run by Los Angeles County or LA city? If so, I'd like to talk to you for a story I'm writing. Please DM me.

[Olivia Nuzzi @Olivianuzzi]

Mick Mulvaney to CNBC: "Those who choose to stay, and I have talked with some of them, are choosing to stay because they're worried the President might put someone worse in.” But I’ve talked to WH officials who chose to stay because they don’t want to lose their health insurance.

[Ben Jacobs @Bencjacobs]

This from @PunchbowlNews today is really unsettling

[Elisabeth Rosenthal @RosenthalHealth]

If they win, Dems will have to find one voice on healthcare after elections. Voters agrees it desperately needs fixing. Thanks @khnews' @emmarieDC for smart analysis. https://t.co/lE0LIL5xuB

I mean, we all know Ira Glass knows a good story... 🙌 to @sjtribble, @TaunyaEnglish, and rest of this amazing team! (And yes, go listen.)

[Ira Glass @iraglass]

Our colleagues at @KHNews and @stlpublicradio made this podcast with an ambitious goal: examine all the ways a small town is affected when their hospital closes, reported by someone who grew up nearby. Story kicks in, in ep two.

The Republican and Democratic candidates for Utah governor, in the last days of their campaign against each other, have cut a PSA together calling for comity in politics. This is worth a watch —>

[Elisabeth Rosenthal @RosenthalHealth]

Lots of coverage of rural hospital closings. BUT SAFETY NET URBAN HOSPITALS SHUTTERING AT A TIME (#COVID19) THEY'RE MOST NEEDED. @khnews for @npr by @jordanrau @emmarieDC https://t.co/DuIjQpCN9Q

Stay home if you're sick?

Per @emmarieDC: Hospitals and other health employers are pressuring workers w/ COVID-19 to return to work sooner than public health standards suggest it’s safe for them, their colleagues or their patients."
