Episode Highlights
[00:35] If the Supreme Court were to overturn the Chevron deference doctrine in the Loper Bright Enterprises case regarding herring fishing, the regulatory power of government agencies, including those in healthcare, will be significantly impacted.
[01:32] Two cases currently before the Court address Idaho’s abortion law, which only permits abortions when necessary to save the patient’s life, and its interaction with federal healthcare law.
[03:28] In Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine vs. FDA, the Court will decide if the FDA overstepped its regulatory authority when it expanded access to Mifepristone, the over-the-counter abortion pill, which could have long-reaching effects on other medications and abortion regulations.
[06:01] In Murthy v. Missouri, the Court will determine whether Covid-19 misinformation is protected free speech. If it is protected, federal health agencies may face an uphill battle trying to effectively communicate health initiatives to the public.
