Policy is divided between blue and red countries that continue to expand
In New York, residents can reach abortion during the twenty -fourth week of pregnancy, to carry hidden firearms in sensitive places and can Easily get the new Covid vaccines.
In Florida, miscarriages are only available during the sixth week of pregnancy, people can now Download guns publicly without permits In most places, the state’s general surgeon removes vaccine states while indicating that He wants to block a Covid shot.
Politically, these two countries did not have many common denominators for decades. In this polarized era, these differences are increasingly reflected in the laws and guidelines carried out by local leaders, which leads to significantly different political facts for Americans depending on whether they live in a blue state or a red state.
These facts have become particularly blatant over the past few years, as countries have responded to the rule of the Supreme Supreme Court in the United States on miscarriage and weapons, and recently, the Trump administration’s skeptical position on vaccines.
“There are very different realitys at the present time,” said Mandra Mayers, Executive Director of the State Project Project, a democratic alignment group that works to build the party’s authority in the state’s legislative bodies.
“Issues such as safe and comprehensive health care reach this type of condition in which he lives and who has a authority to control that state.” “This has become the truth of the red presence and the blue state.”
“I think it is safe to say that the countries no longer take a single approach that suits everyone in health care, and instead, what does the best needs of its components does,” added Brooklyn Roberts, the first manager of the Working Squad in the field of humanitarian and humanitarian services affiliated with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALC), a conservative and influential group of legislation at the Republican level.
Countries contradict vaccines
The last division came after Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Junior for new restrictions on the approved Kovid vaccine, a large break from the previous guidance.
One week later, the surgeon, General Joseph Laadouu, the surgeon in Florida, said that he would end all vaccine delegations in the state. Ladapo said, “Each one of them is a mistake and is expelled with contempt and slavery,” and that forcing people to obtain vaccines was “wrong” and “immoral.”
This step, made by public health experts, will end with the effective requirements by the state that students who go to public schools receive some vaccines, including those for smallpox, hepatitis B, pneumococcal diseases and other shots, but not for others, such as polio and measles.
By doing this, Florida, an increasingly right -wing state during the Trump era, will become the first to make many vaccines completely voluntary.
The Republicans in Idaho State are similar But a mysterious law in April, which is forbidden Schools and some companies refuse to accept or services for people who received some “medical interventions”, which included vaccines. Draft Several exemptions appeared.
At the same time, the growing number of countries in the Republican Party has enacted laws in recent months that make drugs Evarkin available to people who have no prescription. Texas He became the fifth to do that last month. Ivermectin is a drug that is used to use parasitic worms, but it appeared during the epidemic as an unpaved treatment for Covid.
On the same day that the Florida vaccine declared a trilogy of the blue western states a regional alliance that has effectively created its vaccines instructions based on the “credible” scientific information, Democratic Conservatives in those three states said.
“Our three states participate in an obligation to ensure that public health recommendations are guided by safety, effectiveness, transparency, access and trust.” He said in a statement announcing the “West Coast Health Alliance.”“
“This will allow residents to receive consistent recommendations based on science that they can rely on-regardless of changing federal procedures,” said New Off. Hawaii Join the alliance Days after announcing it.
On Thursday, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Contecticut, and Mine Ward Island announced Their own alliance – the northeastern cooperative is called public health – It also created its own vaccine guidelines, regardless of its federal conversion.
Both bodies officially issued instructions this week about who should get three common vaccines. This came immediately before the vaccine committee chosen by Kennedy to restrict access to the measles vaccine, which includes protection from the virus, or chickenpox. The committee also voted on Friday to finish the Covid’s penalty for most healthy people, with a decision to end the instructions that all newborns should receive hepatitis B vaccine B.
State alliances ads follow a wave of other moves by Democratic Conservatives in the northeast.
Earlier this month, Massachusetts It became the first country to implement independent The rules of coverage of the vaccine at the state level.
Democratic Massachusetts Governor Mora Healy It announced that the state will continue to continue health insurance companies To cover the vaccines recommended by the Ministry of Public Health in the state, it indicates that these companies should not build their coverage decisions only on federal recommendations. Kennedy, a long -term anti -vaccine activist, announced in May that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will end the recommendation of the Covid vaccine for healthy children and pregnant women.
In addition, New York Governor Cathy Hochol The executive order took place this month Expand those who can describe and manage Covid vaccines, give pharmacists and other health workers an emergency window for a period of 30 days to provide decisive shots before the fall virus season. In the announcement of her office, Hochol said it was aimed at “combating the misleading attack of the Trump administration on immunization and health care.”
The governor of Michigan Grechen is passing through Similar measures were taken on Wednesday, and guidance State agencies to remove any obstacles in front of people to obtain a Kofid vaccine and oversee efforts to ensure the shots remain covered with health insurance plans.
Another example of the latest developments and pumps of health policies is, another example of how red cases and blue states are heading in polar policy trends.
“The countries are supposed to be a laboratory for the experience. What raises attention at this moment [some] “The political repercussions of the coffeed epidemic Attracting and politicizing a health care policy.
From a democratic perspective, she said: “The states like Massachusetts and New York do not only work together to store Covid vaccines. They will make their own recommendations, because they do not trust the federal government … you see this type of battle against the federal government.”
On the side of the Republican Party, she said: “Many of the things we put in light of health and safety are now – because they have concluded in things such as the individual choice and the amount of organization that we must move – to the Republican side as things against it.”
“The diversity of methods in vaccines does not end. The differences in how patients are able to access care, pay for care and obtain information about the cost of their care,” said Roberts from Alec. The transparency laws mentioned by both the red and blue states, which facilitates patients to know what bills can expect for medical care, in addition to a recent ban on food dyes in West Virginia, which is controlled by Republicans. “Ultimately, how health care and options you have for care are based on the condition you live in.”
The laws of abortion and guns vary widely by state
Vaccines determine the recent political gap between democratic and republican countries.
After the reversal of the Roe V Supreme Court. Wade in 2022, a group of abortion laws appeared throughout the country. The same thing was largely true for guns for years, as countries that enacted a variety of laws that extend over the Open Carry spectrum to the arms ban.
But the gap in these two issues did not grow until the second term of President Donald Trump.
In the years that have passed on ROE, various blue countries looking to protect reproductive rights carried out “shield laws”. These laws mainly prevent state officials from cooperating with the investigations conducted by other states where abortion is illegal or restricted in cases where patients may be described as mail abortion pills.
Now, New York and Texas La legal battles against Some of them are on these laws. The Texas Pact Prosecutor sued the New York doctor allegedly prescribing the pill as an abortion of the drug for a patient in his mandate, claiming that the doctor violated the almost near abortion of Texas. In addition, the Republicans in Texas Last week, a new law has increased Penalties on ordinary citizens in the state It can be requested in lawsuits Against recipes outside the state and the distributors of abortion pills.
The issue of rifles continues to nominate as well. Blue states have been increasingly restricted to weapons in recent years, while Republican -led countries have followed the opposite to a large extent.
In Minnesota, the ruler of Democrat Tim and Alz is It is expected to be divided A special legislative session focused on increasing the safety of weapons in the coming weeks, after a shooting last month in a Catholic school that left two dead children, in addition to the assassination of June of the state deputy, Melissa Hortmann and her husband.
Meanwhile, the Republican officials in Florida asked this week the state prosecutors It is no longer carried out Banning an open rifle in the wake of the court ruling Find her unconstitutional.
As for immigration, some Republicans -led countries have enacted comprehensive policies this year aimed at strengthening the Trump administration agenda. Earlier this year, Florida Republics in countries ended the academic benefits of public universities for illegal immigrants, while Tennessee and many other states have established immigration enforcement offices in the states aimed at helping federal immigration officials.
On the contrary, the blue countries that have cities have carried out the so -called “resort” policies, such as Los Angeles, witnessed the National Guard forces that Trump called. Trump also summoned the National Guard forces to Washington, DC, citing high crimes, although he did not do so for almost all cities with the highest crime rates, According to government data.
While the lack of policy consistency from the state to the state in hot political issues, the increasing gap “creates a lot of uncertainty,” said Brandon Schulz, the Republican strategic expert in Wisconsin, where ideological fluctuations in the Supreme Court in the state and the ruler’s office over the past decade have performed, and it has performed
“When you want to restore control of the states” – a talisman used repeatedly by conservatives – “you will have a mixture, a quilt of policies,” said Schuls, describing the laboratory side of this approach.
“But the matter reached the point where it is strongly [tied to] Schools added that everyone who carries the club’s keys – who will say: “Here is what allows it to happen and here is what is otherwise.”
