The United States has lost the measles elimination status it held since 2000, a Pan American Health Organization commission found, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters and CNN reported Friday.
The commission met Nov. 10 to 13, and the CDC lists 5,182 confirmed U.S. cases this year as of Nov. 5. Separately, CMS told states they may hold off on denying or ending Medicaid coverage under the new work requirement until June 30, 2027, though the rules still start Jan. 1, and Houston Methodist's innovation chief said AI vendors must show staff reductions, not just time saved, before the system buys.
