Dear John,

A new study found disparities in life expectancy in counties along the
US-Mexico border.

Life Expectancy At The US-Mexico Border

[link removed]

The July 2021 issue will focus on borders, immigrants, and health. In an
ahead-of-print paper released today, Keith Gennuso and colleagues
calculated life expectancy for counties on the US side of the US-Mexico
border.

They found large gaps in life expectancy by race and ethnicity.

The life expectancy for American Indian/Alaska Native residents within
the border region is 75.0 years; for Black residents, 78.4 years; for
White residents, 80.6 years; for Hispanic residents, 81.6 years, and for
Asian residents, 88.1 years.

In comparison, the overall US life expectancy is 79.1 years.

Pre-order the July 2021 issue on borders, immigrants, and health today
for
a discounted price.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Jacob Tanumihardjo and coauthors discuss
significant progress made by community-based health care organizations
in reducing food insecurity

during the pandemic.

Also, Erin Brantley and Sara Rosenbaum argue that recent developments in
Missouri show that voter efforts to make Medicaid eligibility a
constitutional right

may not be enough.

Elevating Voices: Pride Month: In June 2016 a gunman murdered 49 people
and injured many more at PULSE, a Florida LGBT nightclub. Many who were
injured by the shooting needed blood transfusions, but gay, bisexual,
and other men who have sex with men were turned away from donating
blood.

In a 2016 Health Affairs Blog post, Adam Eickmeyer argues that these
rules are discriminatory and calls on the FDA to modernize their
donation policies
