Humanitarian Situation in Haiti. Bulletin 2 Health Cluster. April
Health Cluster Situation Report. Humanitarian Situation in Haiti. April - June 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, ten major incidents involving armed violence led to the displacement of 50,867 people, a 19% increase compared to the previous quarter. After several months of severe deterioration in the Artibonite and Centre departments, the West department once again became the epicenter of new displacements, accounting for 64% of all movements recorded during the period—primarily due to armed violence in the commune of Cité Soleil. A decline in suspected diphtheria cases has been observed starting from the 21st epidemiological week. A total of 42 suspected cases have been reported across 15 sites for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the West Department (Cité Soleil, Delmas, Pétion-Ville, Port-au-Prince) since January 2026. The cholera outbreak has been steadily declining since its resurgence in October 2022. Following a peak of 3,683 suspected weekly cases in 2023, transmission dropped by nearly 80% in 2024. This downward trend continued into 2025 (with 85 cumulative cases recorded during the same period) and into 2026, with 44 suspected cases reported as of July 18 (a 48% decrease). Transmission levels currently remain low and stable, reflecting successful control efforts. Maintaining surveillance and response capabilities remains crucial to preventing a resurgence, given the active circulation of Vibrio and the persistence of risk factors for transmission.

Potential impacts Democratic health care proposals on employer-sponsored health care
Summary: Democratic state and federal wins in the midterm elections could lead to Medicaid expansion in some states, and focuses attention on the House Democrats’ memo on health care priorities in the new Congress. Few of these proposals are likely to become law before 2029, but they could form the foundation for Democratic health care reform efforts after the 2028 Presidential election. Portion of total newly eligible for Medicaid if non-expansion states expanded Source: Cervantes, S et al How Many Uninsured Are in the Coverage Gap and How Many Could be Eligible if All States Adopted the Medicaid Expansion? KFF, July 27, 2026 It’s been almost a week since the midterm elections, and the Democrats will have large majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, although not large enough to overcome Senate filibusters or Presidential vetoes. I reviewed some of what I thought these midterm results could mean in a post last week. In retrospect, I might have understated the elections’ impact on health care due to changes in governorship and majorities in many state legislatures. A Democratic trifecta (governorship and both houses) could mean expansion of Medicaid in Wisconsin, and a Democratic governor and House in Texas and Georgia could increase pressure in both states to expand Medicaid. That’s especially important, because Texas currently represents almost half of those who would be newly eligible for insurance from Medicaid expansions. Medicaid expansions matter to employers because they have been shown to decrease the risk of closure of rural hospitals and support workers’ ability to stay employed and productive. The House Democrats’ Cost of Living Healthcare Working Group published an 84-page memo in September with recommendations for the first hundred hours, the first hundred days, and the first year. The midterm results make this document more important. Here’s a review of what some of these recommendations could mean for employer-sponsored health insurance. Elements that could lower employer health care spending Restore the expanded advance premium tax credit for ACA plans. This could bring healthier enrollees back to the marketplace plans, which would improve the risk status of these plans and decrease the rate of uninsurance. Fewer people with insurance puts higher pressures on provider rates of employer plans. More stable ACA plans could encourage employers to consider transitioning from employer-sponsored plans to ICHRA/Choice, providing a fund for employers to purchase their own insurance on an exchange. Repeal Medicaid work requirements and other administrative rules of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act which as written will lead to a large increase in the uninsured rate. Fewer people with insurance leads to more pressures from hospitals for commercial rate increases. Extend Inflation Reduction Act negotiated drug prices to commercial health plans. These are now only applicable to Medicare Parts D (outpatient drugs) and B (drugs administered by providers. The Medicare negotiated prices are lower than net prices negotiated by PBMs. Hospital price limits. Some of the Democratic House proposals would institute site neutral payment and limit outlier hospital prices to 200% of Medicare. The average commercial health plan pays about 247% Medicare rates for inpatient hospital care, and many commercial health plans currently pay over 300% of Medicare for hospital services. PBM regulations. The proposals would mandate more transparency and prevent PBMs from paying subsidiaries more than market rates. Antitrust enforcement. The plan would break up vertically integrated health care monopolies which could lower prices through competition. Ban on non-compete contractual clauses could increase competition by increasing flexibility and supply of clinicians, although it could also increase physician leverage and lead to higher wages which could raise prices. Lower the Medicare eligibility age, which could take older, more expensive, workers off employer sponsored plans. Create a Medi-Kids plan to insure all children and potentially young adults up to age 26. These plan members have low non-preventive utilization and cost less per person than older plan members, but removing children from employer plans would decrease volatility because a few children have very high medical costs. Elements that could increase employer spending (in many instances for high value services) Mandate three primary care and three mental health visits without cost sharing Eliminate cost sharing for mental health care and substance use care during pregnancy and in the year after delivery Require coverage of infertility services Cap cost sharing for insulin, epipen and respiratory inhalers Count copay coupons and assistance toward member deductibles and cost sharing Cap total health care costs (premium and out-of-pocket costs) at 8% of household income Leave a comment Elements that could improve the market Increased price transparency Tightening enforcement of short-term plans, fixed indemnity plans, and cost-sharing ministries. These skimpy health plans skim off healthier people, leaving sicker people on marketplace exchanges and employer-sponsored health plans. Here’s a past post on the perils of cheap insurance. Most of these proposals are likely not to become law in the next two years, but could form the foundation of a Democratic proposal for health care reform in 2029 and beyond. The document does not provide cost estimates for these proposals. Share Thanks for reading! If you found this useful, please share, subscribe, like, and restack.

Will Democrats Allow Republican Farm Bill that Threatens Health and Environment after Midterm Landslide? - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog
(Beyond Pesticides, November 8, 2026) As retiring Democratic leaders in the House and Senate Agriculture Committees huddle with the authors of the Republican Farm Bill to negotiate and fast-track the legislation, over 180 national, state, and local organizations from across the country are asking the negotiators to reject amendments that undermine longstanding public health and environment protections. In a letter to outgoing ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee, Rep. Angie Craig, and outgoing ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Senator Amy Klobuchar, the groups call the pesticide provisions in the bill “a sweeping set of exemptions, waivers, and revocations undermining 50 years of environmental laws adopted by Congress to protect farmers, families, and the environment.” The letter identifies numerous provisions of the Farm Bill that “(i) Undermine pesticide safety reviews and standards, (ii) Undercut endangered species protections, (iii) Exempt synthetically derived chemicals from safety reviews, (iv) Waive reviews for chemical categories, and (v) Delay pesticide safety reviews by five years for chemicals in wide use today.” The letter calls on negotiators to remove Title X, “Subtitle B—Regulatory Reform” from the Senate Bill, S.5526, Agricultural Act of 2026, also contained in Title X Subtitle C, “Part 1, Federal Insecticide, […]
