Says Sarah Swan from @law.rutgers.edu in #HLC2026 by @nusl.bsky.social : some of this connected to opioids and pollutions - causes cancer, heart disease, and more. Access to care is also an issue.
Many rural communities brought lawsuit against opioids and pollutants.
Says Sarah Swan from @law.rutgers.edu in #HLC2026 by @nusl.bsky.social : even though big cities lawsuit get more attention, in the background rural communities have been active in litigating for goals.
1 in 5 people in U.S. live in rural areas, with their own health challenges.
Says @francislprof in #HLC2026 by @nusl.bsky.social : states option: help with eligibility determination, consider more exemptions that help state, consider how to define engagements. Help people meet requirement, and get data to see whether requirements help.
Says @francislprof in #HLC2026 by @nusl.bsky.social : least likely to qualify - people on cusp of Medicare (50-64) or rural residents. Suspicion: caregivers, poor health themselves, worse hit. Administrative costs - $1 out of 3 went to healthcare. High, and taking money from healthcare.
Says @francislprof in #HLC2026 by @nusl.bsky.social : there are mandatory exceptions for children, disabled, foster youth, and some optional hardship exceptions. But for most, you need 80 hours a month of qualifying activities.
Glad to join @sbagen.bsky.social and @drsinhaesq.bsky.social on this panel at @nusl.bsky.social's annual health law conference, with very thoughtful moderation from @davidasimon.bsky.social. Thanks to @doritreiss.bsky.social for liveposting!
