Viewpoints: Declining Vaccine Trust Endangers Measles Status; Health Insurance Tax Break Is Driving Up Costs

Editorial writers discuss these public health topics.

Doctors are fighting a trust failure that evidence alone cannot fix. (Jonathan Slater, 4/28)

The current system incentivizes employer compensation through insurance rather than cash, driving up costs. (Elizabeth J. Fowler and Michael F. Cannon, 4/27)

This month, the Trump administration announced what may be the biggest win for the Make America Healthy Again movement on an environmental issue to date. The Environmental Protection Agency proposed a rule that would, for the first time,聽formally flag microplastics and pharmaceuticals in drinking water聽as threats that deserve federal attention 鈥 putting them on its list of contaminants that merit study, tracking, and possible future regulation. (Tim Ryan and Justin Zorn, 4/28)

Governments, industry, and philanthropies are investing in neuroscience at an unprecedented scale, and the ambition behind this impetus is a noble one: to reduce the growing burden of brain diseases and extend healthy cognitive life. We fully support this movement鈥檚 push for 鈥渂rain health鈥 to mirror successful frameworks established for cancer and heart health that prioritize early screening and aggressive preventive treatments, making it possible to act before irreversible damage sets in. (Husseini K. Manji, Eric J. Nestler and Patrick J. Kennedy, 4/28)

Congress adopted a clear preemption law for chemicals like glyphosate. (4/27)
