WHO Pandemic Treaty Stalled as Nations Fail to Agree on Pathogen Sharing

WHO Pandemic Treaty Stalled as Nations Fail to Agree on Pathogen Sharing

Negotiations for a global pandemic treaty have stalled as countries failed to reach an agreement on the 'pathogen access and benefit sharing' (Pabs) system. This system is crucial for the World Health Organization's (WHO) pandemic agreement, which aims to govern global responses to future disease outbreaks. The delay is seen as a significant setback, with former leaders Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Helen Clark expressing regret over the missed deadline ahead of the World Health Assembly in Geneva. The treaty, initially proposed in 2021, has been hindered by mistrust between richer and poorer nations, exacerbated by disinformation on social media. The treaty was passed in 2025 but requires further negotiations on Pabs before it can be fully implemented.

New Bill Proposes Medicaid Expansion for Assisted Living Services

New Bill Proposes Medicaid Expansion for Assisted Living Services

A new bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives aims to expand Medicaid coverage to include services provided in assisted living facilities for certain low-income seniors. Proposed by Republican Representative Max Miller of Ohio, the legislation seeks to address the growing demand for senior care outside traditional nursing homes. The bill would require state Medicaid programs to cover assisted living services, provided the costs do not exceed those of hospital or nursing facility care. This initiative comes amid increasing pressure on policymakers due to an aging population and rising nursing home costs. The bill also includes provisions to encourage the development of affordable housing with supportive services for seniors, leveraging the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.
