Navigating the aftermath of the COVID-19 emergency.

The public health emergency for COVID-19 in the US has ended, but health experts warn that the pandemic is not over as the virus continues to claim about 1,000 lives each week. The end of the emergency declaration could impact testing and produce quick results during a surge, vaccine prices are expected to rise significantly to about $100 a dose, and millions of Americans who gained Medicaid health insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic are at risk of losing coverage later this year as generous federal subsidies end. Meanwhile, Congress extended Medicare policies until the end of 2024, which means most Americans will still have access to telehealth services.
