Since Dobbs, where you live decides what care you can get. A patient in one state gets a routine procedure; a patient four hours away is sent home to get sicker until she qualifies as an emergency, while her doctor calls a lawyer before calling a colleague. Hospitals have closed maternity wards rather than staff them under laws written to be prosecuted, so women in those counties now drive an hour to give birth whether they ever needed an abortion or not. This was never really a state-by-state question, because the people are the same people and the pregnancies are the same pregnancies. Only the county line changed. Pass the Women's Health Protection Act and restore a federal floor for abortion access, so that care stops depending on a map.
Childhood vaccine schedules used to be set the boring way: an outside committee of specialists, meeting in public, screened for conflicts, leaving a paper trail anyone could read. That committee was fired and replaced by appointment, and the schedule is now being rewritten by executive order, not because new evidence arrived, but because one official decided. Pediatricians are fielding questions they can't answer about whether a shot will still be covered next month, and measles is back in places that hadn't seen a case in a generation. This is what it looks like when a decision that belongs to evidence gets handed to a person. Restore an independent, public, conflict-screened vaccine advisory process, keep the schedule with the science rather than the appointee, and guarantee every recommended vaccine stays free at the point of care.
When an AI system a company sold gives dangerous advice, invents a defamatory "fact" about a real person, or hands an attacker the keys to the system it was trusted with, the company's answer is a terms-of-service page you clicked past and a claim that nobody could have seen it coming. Every other industry that ships a product into people's lives (cars, drugs, ladders, baby formula) answers for foreseeable harm in a courtroom. That isn't hostility to the technology; it's the ordinary price of selling something, and it's the only mechanism that has ever reliably gotten a company to fix a defect before the lawsuit instead of after. Pass a federal AI liability standard: no blanket immunity, no forced arbitration, and a clear path to court when a company's system causes real harm.
