This is the web edition of D.C. Diagnosis, STAT's twice-weekly newsletter about the politics and policy of health and medicine.

In a recent development, a group of Republican senators, led by Sen. Bill Cassidy, have expressed support for increased funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to bolster biomedical research, highlighting the importance of such investments for future medical advancements. This stance contrasts with their Democratic counterparts, who are pushing for the removal of work requirements for Medicaid, arguing that these requirements hinder access to necessary healthcare. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to face criticism for his controversial views on vaccines, with experts emphasizing the overwhelming scientific evidence supporting vaccine safety and efficacy. Additionally, the newsletter touches on various health-related news, including a feature on the challenges faced by Washington, D.C., in diagnosing and treating mental health issues among its residents.
