## Resource

The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown is not just roiling politics but also directly affecting the provision of health care, medical groups say. Meanwhile, in Washington, federal spending bills on their way to passage have been stalled by the fight over immigration enforcement funding after the shooting death of a second person in Minneapolis this month. Maya Goldman of Axios, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, and Rachel Roubein of The Washington Post join KFF Health News’ Julie Rovner to discuss those stories and more. Visit our website to read a transcript of this episode. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: Science’s “ U.S. Government Has Lost More Than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s Since Trump Took Office ,” by Monica Hersher and Jeffrey Mervis. Maya Goldman: NBC News’ “ Many Obamacare Enrollees Have Switched to Cheaper Bronze Plans. Here’s Why That Could Be Risky ,” by Berkeley Lovelace Jr. Alice Miranda Ollstein: The New York Times’ “ After Donations, Trump Administration Revoked Rule Requiring More Nursing Home Staff ,” by Kenneth P. Vogel and Christina Jewett. Rachel Roubein: Stat’s “ HHS Appoints 21 New Members to Federal Autism Advisory Committee ,” by O. Rose Broderick.
