AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Reproductive Health Policy: A new push to label abortion drugs as “controlled substances” is raising alarms that it could make childbirth more dangerous and disrupt legal, safe care—especially as states target medication abortion through drug restrictions and telehealth fights. Maternal Mental Health: The latest Maternal Mental Health State Report Cards give the U.S. an “F” on new parental support measures, highlighting ongoing gaps in treatment access and structural supports for mothers. Child Online Safety: Mississippi Attorney General Jay Jones and other AGs oppose the federal KIDS Act, arguing it would weaken state authority and shift responsibility away from Big Tech; they back the Senate version’s duty-of-care approach. Community Food & Wellness: In Indianola, a World Hunger Day event helped families learn to plant and grow food for local pantries, aiming to ease Delta food insecurity with fresh, homegrown produce. Medicaid Spending Watch (MS): Brookhaven Medicaid claims for Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) rose 38.2% in 2024; other local increases include chemotherapy drugs in McComb and enteral/parenteral therapy in Hattiesburg. Local Health Workforce: UMMC AirCare is expanding its fleet with fixed-wing aircraft and hiring more medical staff.
