If Rollbacks Go Forward, Up To 14 Million Children Could Become Ineligible For Public Or Subsidized Coverage By 2019 [Web First]

In spring 2015 Congress passed legislation to extend funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through the end of fiscal year 2017. This two-year extension pushes to 2017 the question of whether CHIP funding will end, allowing states to end their separate state CHIP programs. Also, when the Affordable Care Act’s maintenance-of-effort requirements expire after 2019, states will be allowed to roll back Medicaid- and CHIP-eligibility thresholds to minimum levels allowed by federal law. This study investigated the potential health insurance options available to low-income children if these events happen. If all states roll back coverage to federal statutory minimums, then, among children in families with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, the share ineligible for public coverage or subsidized

Treating HIV early leads to better health and less transmission

Early HIV treatment is a win-win strategy. David Smart/ShutterstockStarting HIV treatment early, before immune damage occurs, brings real clinical benefits, a new study has shown. The START (Strategic Timing of antiRetroviral Treatment) clinical trial was recently terminated ahead of schedule because the trial results provided conclusive evidence of the extra benefits of beginning antiretroviral therapy early. Measuring immune function The question of when to start anti-HIV treatment is of great clinical and public health significance. In the late 1990s, scientists established that antiretroviral therapy was life-saving. But untreated HIV infection takes many years to cause serious illness, so it was reasonable to consider whether delayed treatment might work as well as early treatment in preventing illness and death. Untreated HIV invades cells in
