WASHINGTON DC – El Supremo de Estados Unidos bloqueó temporalmente la restricción que un tribunal inferior había puesto sobre la capacidad del gobierno de contactar con las redes sociales para pedirles que eliminen ciertos contenidos de temas sensibles como la salud.Hizo así caso al recurso presentado por el Ejecutivo y tras ello escuchará los argumentos y emitirá un fallo sobre esta cuestión durante su mandato actual, que concluirá a finales de junio.La decisión suspende el fallo de un tribunal de Luisiana del pasado julio que determinó prohibir a agencias y funcionarios específicos reunirse con empresas para discutir si cierto contenido debería ser eliminado.Tres de los 9 jueces del Supremo, los conservadores Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas y Neil Gorsuch, denegaron el recurso de Biden.“En este momento de la historia de nuestro país, me temo que algunos considerarán lo que ha hecho el tribunal como una luz verde para que el gobierno utilice tácticas de mano dura para ses...

MassHealth expecting ‘pretty steep uptick’ in disenrollments

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:51 GMT

About 76,000 people have been removed from the MassHealth rolls since March, and officials continue to forecast the biggest impacts are around the corner as a massive reevaluation of eligibility ramps up this fall.MassHealth published the latest monthly summary of its year-long redetermination effort Friday, showing that another 48,000 people lost MassHealth coverage in September. That was offset by about 18,000 new enrollees and 6,300 people who rejoined the publicly funded health insurance program after previously losing coverage.September saw fewer disenrollments than in either of the previous two months — and less than the average monthly amount before the COVID-19 pandemic — but officials said they view the change as “normal fluctuation.”“You will see an increase in disenrollments as we head into the fall and winter. That is typically the time of the year when we see the most disenrollments because we time many of our renewals with open enrollment ...

Healey says no sign Baker knew of Green Line problems

Despite allegedly knowing this, the former managers of the beleaguered transportation agency opened the lines anyway.During a television appearance that aired Sunday, Healey said all indications are that the problem was never divulged to former Gov. Charlie Baker, who attended ribbon cuttings for the completed $2.3 billion expansion in March and December of 2022.“I have no information suggesting that he knew,” Healey told WBZ.Healey said she is “really upset” over revelations the newly installed tracks are significantly out of gauge with the rail industry standard and c...
