The implications of the Idaho and Texas cases

The podcast discusses the implications of two important cases involving the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) in Idaho and Texas. In the Idaho case, the dispute centers on whether EMTALA should require stabilizing treatment to include abortion care. The Texas case involves a lawsuit by the state over non-binding guidance issued by the Biden administration regarding EMTALA and abortion care.
