Dear John,

In the newest episode of A Health Podyssey, Yanlei Ma discusses the relationship between state paid sick leave mandates and emergency department use.
Removing State Barriers
Responding to an article by Ann Nguyen and coauthors about New Jersey’s COVID-19 Temporary Emergency Reciprocity Licensure Program, Bianca Frogner expands on the lessons learned in a Perspective.

Frogner writes that temporary emergency licensure reciprocity policies "are starting to expire, and the nation may be missing an opportunity to learn from this natural experiment and improve access to care for patients."

In response to the data Nguyen and coauthors present to describe the effect of the emergency licensure reciprocity policies, Frogner questions the purpose of separate state licenses, given that the temporary license program supported flexibility and continuity of care during the pandemic.

Frogner advocates for policy makers to consider removing state barriers that restrict health care workers in order to address workforce shortages.
