BY ANSEV DEMIRHAN and LISA GRAVES  | In April, the Supreme Court will hear a pair of cases that will determine whether the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) preempts state laws that impede emergency abortions needed to protect the health of pregnant people even if they are not on the brink of death.

BY JHUMPA BHATTACHARYA and SAADIA VAN WINKLE | The expanded child tax credit could be reinstated for three years as part of a bipartisan tax package. This would be a huge deal for families across the country who have been struggling with dwindling supports from the government as pandemic-era boosts expire.

Listen to United Bodies—a new podcast about the lived experience of health, from Ms. Studios, on Apple Podcasts + Spotify. 

More than 51 million people in the United States – more than 20 percent of adults – live with chronic pain, but 70 percent of pain sufferers are women. Women and nonbinary people, particularly women and nonbinary people of color, are treated poorly by the medical system. Our pain is ignored. Our needs are unmet. 

On the latest United Bodies, Samantha Reid joins host Kendall Ciesemier to talk about how our system isn’t set up to care about our pain—and how we can change it.

We hope you'll listen, subscribe, rate and review today!
