Top tech companies to work with Trump administration on improving health care data access for older, disabled Americans
The initiative, which President Trump is expected to unveil Wednesday at the White House, would create a system to ease the exchange of patient information, sources familiar with the plan told CBS News.
Several companies, including Oracle and Microsoft, plan to sign pledges to work on the initiative, according to multiple sources.
In May, the Trump administration sought public input on how to modernize the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' digital health care services.
The announcement comes on the 60th anniversary of the Social Security Amendments, which were signed on July 30, 1965, and established Medicare and Medicaid.
Seema Verma, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during the first Trump administration, was invited to attend the White House announcement. She now oversees Oracle's Health and Life Sciences division.
White House spokespeople declined to comment.

Map Shows Best—and Worst—States to Have a Baby 2025
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A newly released study by personal finance website WalletHub has revealed which states are the best and worst to have a baby—with Massachusetts, North Dakota, and Minnesota leading the nation. How It Was Calculated WalletHub ranked the best and worst states to have a baby by evaluating all 50 states and the District of Columbia across four categories—cost, health care, baby-friendliness, and family-friendliness—using 31 weighted metrics scored on a 100-point scale. Each state's overall score reflected a weighted average of those factors. The dataset used by WalletHub in its calculations ranged from hospital conventional-delivery charges to annual average infant-care costs to pediatricians per capita. What To Know Massachusetts claimed the top spot in WalletHub's overall rankings, buoyed by its first-place health care score and top-tier performance in baby- and family-friendliness. The Bay State boasts the third-lowest infant mortality rate, the eighth-lowest maternal mortality rate, and among the best neonatal hospitals in the nation for premature births or babies with health problems, the report said. It also leads the country in paid leave policy and access to Medicaid-covered parenting programs. North Dakota ranked second, driven largely by its affordability. It offers the lowest cost for conventional deliveries without complications—just $7,500 compared to as much as $27,000 in more expensive states, according to WalletHub. The Peace Garden State was also found to have the third-lowest hourly rate for babysitters, and ranked among the top ten in childcare access and mom support groups. Minnesota came in third, offering the second-lowest health insurance premiums and ranking highly for medical staff availability. With one of the lowest maternal mortality rates and a high number of pediatric professionals per capita, WalletHub said it provides ample healthcare options for new parents. Additionally, the North Star State was found to have the fourth-highest share of nationally accredited childcare centers. Rounding out the top 10 best states to have a baby include: New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Iowa, the District of Columbia. At the other end of the spectrum, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Florida, Arkansas, New Mexico, Georgia, South Carolina, Nevada, Alabama, and Mississippi were ranked as the bottom 10. What People Are Saying WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said in the report: "The best states for having a baby minimize costs while providing top-notch care for both newborns and their mothers. They also continue to be good environments for parents even long after the birth, with high-quality pediatric care, affordable and accessible child care, and a strong economic environment that makes providing for a child easier." What Happens Next? WalletHub releases its "Best & Worst States to Have a Baby" report annually. Newsweek previously mapped the states with the best—and worst—school systems based on a separate, recent report from WalletHub.

I've traveled the world to study brain health — here are 2 secrets to protecting against dementia
I'm going the extra mile for myelin. I travel the world to deliver neurological care in places with limited resources. Along the way, I have learned several important lessons about protecting brain health and preventing brain disease. My perspective was forever altered on one of my first trips to Uganda for the Department of Neurology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Advertisement I met a 14-year-old boy unable to move the left side of his body. Our medical team discovered the teen had undiagnosed and undetected HIV since birth. I was surprised to learn that HIV could be associated with stroke because it is an advanced feature of the virus that is infrequent in the US now. That knowledge changed my perceptions and attitudes towards brain health. Here is some wisdom from my visits to Uganda and Ghana, including two simple steps to halt and reverse brain damage. US vs the world The biggest difference in brain health challenges in the US and places like Ghana is simply access to care. Advertisement 3 Dr. Jaydeep Bhatt, director of the Division of Global Health for the Department of Neurology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, reveals two major lessons for preventing brain disease. Most Americans can see their primary care physician to screen for risk factors leading to brain disease. Most Ghanaians do not have this level of access, so they are silently living with many risk factors. That leads to brain disease manifesting as a stroke or some other preventable brain disorder. A major, under-the-radar risk factor One risk factor for dementia that doesn't get a lot of attention is undetected hearing loss. Hearing loss is common with age. The problem is that good hearing is crucial for feeding the language centers, primarily located in the left hemisphere of the brain, with the proper information to produce language. Advertisement If hearing loss is not detected in a timely fashion, there might be improper funneling of information to this language area, increasing the risk of memory loss and dementia. Screening timetables Patients should be screened for brain-related conditions such as cognitive decline and stroke risk at least once a year. A preventative primary care physician will measure blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol levels. Cardiovascular brain damage is tricky because it often has no immediate warning signs. High blood pressure is known in medicine as a 'silent killer' because you don't feel it as you're walking around. Advertisement 3 Bhatt visited Ghana and Uganda to study brain health. High blood pressure causes arteries and veins to narrow, which decreases nourishment and blood flow to the brain. This leads to changes detectable by modern MRI. Thankfully, these changes are in silent regions of the brain, so you will not have a disability. However, over time, memory loss, dementia and other harmful brain diseases can develop. High cholesterol, along with high blood pressure, contributes to these very same changes because it leads to blockages in important arteries that feed your brain with blood. Physical inactivity fuels high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors. Fortunately, brain damage from poor cardiovascular health can be stalled and even reversed. The traditional risk factors of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking are addressed by two behaviors — diet and exercise. Two ways to protect brain health When I traveled to Uganda and Ghana, one aspect of their diet that surprised me was their natural portion control. Advertisement The average Ghanaian and Ugandan meal is half or one-third the size of what we would expect of a meal in the US. American restaurants offer huge portions based on the idea that bigger is better, especially because it's more value for your money. But these larger meal sizes are just not meant for one person. So much of brain health is linked to the quality of your diet, including the amount you consume in one sitting. 3 The traditional risk factors of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking are addressed by two behaviors — diet and exercise. Advertisement Smaller portions and a lack of snacking between meals are inherent to cultures in Uganda and Ghana. Just by making more modest food choices at home, you can lessen your risk of brain disease. The right type of diet is not specific to one culture. Dietary approaches to stop hypertension or Mediterranean diets are rich in fruits and whole grains with low salt and less saturated fat. Exercise, which can occur in many different forms, is also essential to brain health. Advertisement No matter what neurological disease you may have heard of, the rate and severity of that disease are lessened with regular exercise. Exercise crosses cultures — I've seen it manifested in different ways as I've traveled the world and delivered neurological care. The other aspect of the culture in Uganda and Ghana that really struck me — in a good way — was the lack of alcohol and cigarette use. Drinking less alcohol and smoking less are well-established behaviors that lead to better brain health. The vast majority of both populations do not regularly partake in these activities. Advertisement Follow these recommendations to protect your brain as you age — and consult your physician with any concerns.

After cancer diagnosis, out-of-pocket costs jump, study says
Out-of-pocket costs increased by an average of $592.53 per month in the six months after a cancer diagnosis, according to a recent study published in JAMA Network Open. The study analyzed a sample of over 46,000 patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registry, examining responses from 2008 to 2019. The sample consisted of both patients with and without cancer to provide a control group. Within the sample group, breast cancer was the most common form of cancer (74.1 percent), followed by colorectal (14.5 percent) and lung cancer (11.4 percent). On average, out-of-pocket costs rose by a cumulative total of $4,144.71. 'This difference, driven by the onset of cancer diagnosis and its associated treatment, underscores the financial burden of cancer care on patients with insurance who are not yet eligible for Medicare,' the authors write in the study. Cost also increased with stage of diagnosis. Patients with Stage 0 cancer saw an average increase of $462.01 per month, while Stage 4 patients' costs rose an average of $719.97 per month. The authors note that late-stage disease usually is associated with more treatment and higher medical expenditures. This study has implications for policy reform, the researchers argue. 'The variability in [out-of-pocket costs] based on cancer stage underscores the need for policies such as paid sick leave, that address both insurance continuity and financial assistance, especially for patients with more advanced cancer,' they write. — Hannah Docter-Loeb This article is part of The Post's 'Big Number' series, which takes a brief look at the statistical aspect of health issues.
