In this episode of Hoosier Health Matters, hosts Gabriel Bosslet and Tracey Wilkinson discuss the decision by HHS to abruptly cancel the Preventative Services Taskforce meeting and what it could mean for public health, a provision of the federal budget that makes Planned Parenthood no longer a healthcare resource for anyone on Medicaid, and a sketchy committee discussing SSRIs in pregnancy. Then Tracey and Gabe interview Dr. Lauren Magee, a gun safety researcher from IU School of Medicine about gun violence in Indiana.
