Doctors can forgo taking notes during a patient’s visit because an AI system would listen in and capture information. Photo: Doug Barrett for The Wall Street JournalDoctors have started using artificial intelligence in novel ways to communicate with patients and help make diagnoses. Now the government is wrestling with how to ensure the tools do no harm. Federal regulators are proposing a new labeling system for AI healthcare apps designed to make it easier for clinicians to spot the pitfalls and shortcomings of these tools. The Biden administration has proposed that these apps come with a “nutrition label” that discloses how the app was trained, how it performs, how it should be used and how it shouldn’t.

President Biden looks to former President Barack Obama after signing an executive order during an event for the Affordable Care Act in 2022. Photo: Carolyn Kaster/Associated PressOne of the most revealing debates in the Republican Party is one that has disappeared from the campaign trail: the fight over repealing Obamacare. This presidential election marks the first in more than a decade in which no GOP candidates are pledging to eviscerate the landmark Affordable Care Act, ending a standoff between the parties over whether the government is responsible for providing access to healthcare.

The standoff between the Biden administration and insurers underscores the challenges of fixing cracks in the U.S. mental-health-care system. Photo: Allison Bailey/Zuma PressMany consumers with insurance are forced to pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars a year on mental-health care despite a 15-year-old law that is supposed to make such treatment as affordable and accessible as any other type of medical care. Now the Biden administration wants to impose new requirements on insurers that it says would reduce out-of-pocket costs for mental-health care and substance-use-disorder treatment. The insurance industry is firing back, arguing the proposal would drive up prices and set impossible-to-meet standards.

Drug pricing is complicated and secretive. WSJ explains how the flow of money, drugs and rebates behind the scenes may drive up the price of prescription medicine for consumers. Illustration: Mallory BranganRepublicans and Democrats in Congress may find rare agreement in the coming months on legislation taking aim at high drug costs. The lawmakers are rolling out proposals that aim to reduce drug spending by insurers and government agencies, as well as by patients at the pharmacy trying to fill prescriptions for diabetes and other medicines.
Some have sought to toughen existing work requirements for food and cash assistance, as well as adding similar conditions to Medicaid eligibility. Photo: KEN CEDENO/REUTERSWASHINGTON—House Republicans are pushing to require more people seeking federal assistance to find jobs, thrusting a long-running debate over aid for poor Americans into the middle of a battle with Democrats over raising the debt limit. In legislation that passed the House on Wednesday with only GOP support, lawmakers moved to toughen existing work requirements for food and cash assistance, while proposing to add similar conditions to be eligible for Medicaid, a healthcare program for low-income and disabled people.

Solis/Associated PressWASHINGTON—Medicaid is at the center of a widening partisan divide among states over transgender healthcare, where some Americans are denied access to gender-related treatments while others are seeing the availability of such care expand. The Medicaid insurance program, which covers more than 90 million low-income or disabled Americans, has become a way for states to signal sharply divergent positions on transgender-specific care. Republican-led states including Mississippi and Tennessee, where the GOP controls both legislative chambers and the governorship, have recently introduced legislation to restrict some coverage for care of gender-transitioning patients.
Preventive healthcare services include mammograms and cancer screenings. Photo: Heather Charles/Chicago Tribune/Getty ImagesThe majority of insurers in the U.S. don’t expect to drop no-cost preventive healthcare services as a lawsuit challenging the Affordable Care Act requirement works its way through the courts, according to a letter to lawmakers from the six trade groups representing the insurance industry. Their decision was outlined Wednesday in a letter by trade groups to House and Senate Democratic health committee leaders, who on April 12 wrote to a dozen of the nation’s largest health insurers and trade associations asking whether they intend to cover all recommended preventive services without cost-sharing until all appellate review in the case is concluded.
The vaccine will target both the Omicron variant and the original strain of the Covid-19 virus. Americans seeking messenger RNA vaccines for Covid-19 for the first time will get one, updated shot targeting both the Omicron variant and the original strain of the virus under new moves rolled out Tuesday by federal health officials. The Food and Drug Administration also authorized a second booster of the updated shots for people at high risk of Covid-19, specifically people 65 years and older or people who have weak immune systems.
Proposed telehealth rules call for in-person visit for online prescriptions of controlled-substance drugs such as buprenorphine, a medication for opioid-use disorder. WASHINGTON—A federal plan to resume tighter limits on the prescribing of controlled substances through telehealth has spurred a backlash from some medical and patient advocacy groups who say the requirements would create barriers to care. The organizations are urging the Drug Enforcement Administration to reconsider proposed rules that would let doctors remotely prescribe a 30-day supply of some drugs, including buprenorphine for opioid-use disorder, as well as ketamine and testosterone, but require at least one in-person visit for further prescriptions.
