Medicaid funding cuts are jeopardizing the health of U. S. mothers and infants—and with a weak federal database to monitor maternal health outcomes, the consequences may not be fully seen or understood, according to researchers at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. Since January 2025, the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), a federal program collecting data on pregnant and postpartum women and their babies, has experienced a series of disruptions. Initially, the federal government halted all PRAMS data collection, removed access to existing data, and put the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) team that oversaw PRAMS and provided technical assistance to researchers and policymakers utilizing its data on administrative leave. Since then, there’s been a partial reversal regarding data collection and processing: Short-term funding renewals have restarted some of it. But the CDC oversight team remains on leave. And the public portal containing decades of prior PRAMS data remains offline.

Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry told reporters Saturday that the air will need to be cleared if Connor Hellebuyck is to return to the team after his suspension ends. Speaking to reporters following a narrow 3-2 loss to the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, Lowry was asked about a report that indicated Hellebuyck’s suspension could end next Friday. He said there would need to be “conversations” should the star goaltender return to the Jets. “He’s a good friend of mine. Do I love the decision? Do I love the way it’s dragged on? No. But we’ll handle the situation when it comes. Obviously we’re disappointed with the outcome, he’s one of the best goalies in the world,” Lowry said. “It’s unfair to speculate on what’s going to happen between now until Friday. But I think if he does show up there’s going to have to be conversations, there’s going to have to be kind of one of those water under the bridge things. Like I said we keep moving forward, we’re a team regardless of who’s in the room.”Lowry also pointed out that things could change between now and a potential return to Winnipeg for Hellebuyck.
