A digital illustration shows a black-and-white pencil drawing of the face of an older woman. Some areas of her face are warped and look like ghostly, swirling mist. Surrounding the older woman are various young people who, as they party, exercise, or socialize, look at her with demeaning and dismissive expressions. Gray static expands out from behind the woman’s head and fades into a bright yellow background where the younger people are. Covid-19 virus particles cover the image like polka dots.

KFF Health News' 'What the Health?': To End School Shootings, Activists Consider a New Culprit: Parents

February 8, 2024

For the first time, a jury has convicted a parent of a school shooter of charges related to the child’s crime, finding a mother in Michigan guilty of involuntary manslaughter and possibly opening a new legal avenue for gun control advocates. Meanwhile, as the Supreme Court prepares to hear a case challenging the FDA’s approval of the abortion drug mifepristone, a medical publisher has retracted some of the journal studies that lower-court judges relied on in their decisions. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet, and Rachana Pradhan of KFF Health News join KFF Health News’ Julie Rovner to discuss these issues and more. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too.
