AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Medicaid & Health Coverage: Rhode Island Attorney General Aaron D. Ford joined a coalition of 24 states opposing a proposed CMS rule that critics say could jeopardize Medicaid funding and interfere with state health insurance oversight. Patient Data Accountability: Ford also announced a $2.3 million multistate settlement with Labcorp tied to a 2019 patient data breach involving a medical debt collector, with stronger vendor safeguards required. Public Health Watch: CDC reported 3,659 measles cases nationwide as of Sept. 24, with Rhode Island among the jurisdictions reporting cases. Local Emergency Readiness: FEMA awarded Newport $68,000 for CPR devices, part of nearly $2.7 million to Rhode Island fire and first-responder agencies. Research & Health: Studies link stroke to faster glioma tumor growth, pointing to new mediators behind brain injury–cancer connections. Safety in the Storm: Gov. Dan McKee urged Rhode Islanders to prepare for an early-season nor’easter with damaging winds, flooding risk, and possible power outages. Community Health Fundraiser: More than 200 paddlers raised $140,000 for breast cancer research in Wickford’s Paddle for Progress. Health Policy Leadership: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse backed Chris Klomp’s HHS nomination as it advanced toward a full Senate vote.
