Medicaid expansion gathers signatures in efforts to drive change
The proposed expansion aims to provide coverage to people who earn at or below 138 percent of the national poverty line. As of Friday, nearly 63,000 signatures have been collected, but over 880,000 signatures are still needed to qualify for the ballot.
The effort to expand Medicaid aims to increase healthcare access for low-income individuals by covering those at or below 138% of the poverty line, addressing current system gaps. While nearly 63,000 signatures have been collected, the campaign needs over 880,000 for the ballot.
It involves mobilizing volunteers and community engagement to promote Medicaid expansion.
If successful, the Medicaid expansion could greatly improve healthcare access for thousands of residents, offering vital coverage to those who need it most. Lawmakers keep pushing ahead with the signature collection effort, aiming to reach the necessary threshold for ballot inclusion.

Dr. Oz Gives Weird Health Care Advice To Americans Losing Their Medicaid
Former TV doctor Mehmet Oz offered some jaw-droppingly out-of-touch advice to folks at risk of losing their Medicaid on Monday. During an interview on Fox Business, Oz, who now serves as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, tried to put a positive spin on recent cuts that will slash the federal Medicaid program by $1 trillion and kick millions of people off their health care. Oz began by saying that programs like Medicare and Medicaid 'were a promise to the American people to take care of you if you're having problems financially or you're having an issue because you're older and need health care.' But he also told Fox host Stuart Varney that Americans should also do the most they can to stay healthy. 'We'll be there for you, the American people, when you need help with Medicare and Medicaid, but you've got to stay healthy as well,' Oz said. 'Be vital. Do the most that you can do to really live up to the potential, the God-given potential, to live a full and healthy life.' It was his next piece of advice, however, that inspired waves of social media snark. 'You know, don't eat carrot cake. Eat real food,' he said. And, yes, Oz had brought a whole carrot cake for Varney. 'I couldn't find a healthy cake, so I brought the closest thing, a carrot cake,' Oz said. Not surprisingly, Oz's suggestion that avoiding carrot cake makes you more worthy of affordable health care led to a flood of mockery. Oz has been the subject of food-related social media snark on more than one occasion. During his failed 2022 U.S. Senate campaign in Pennsylvania, he was ridiculed for a video he made in a local grocery store griping about what he believed a crudité platter would cost. Dr. Oz's 'Completely Incoherent' Credit Card Flub Has Critics Saying, What?!? Senate Confirms Dr. Oz To Lead Medicare And Medicaid Agency Oz Pledges To Fight Health Care Fraud But Makes No Commitments On Medicaid Funding Cuts

Sugar, sex and your health: The connection you might be ignoring
Chronic diseases Food & health Prescription drugsFacebookTweetLink Follow Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt is a urologist and robotic surgeon with Orlando Health and an assistant professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Medicine. When most of us think about sugar, I bet we're not thinking about our sex lives. We're thinking about dessert. I'm writing this with the help of a bowl of vanilla ice cream by my side. Sugar makes us feel good in the moment, but over time, too much of it may cause us to lose out on some of life's most intimate moments. In 2025, everyone's been buzzing about GLP-1 injections to help control sugar and lose weight. This new class of medication has helped many achieve meaningful health gains — including improved blood sugar, weight loss — and even improvements to people's sex lives (because they could be getting better sleep, too). My goal here isn't to discount the use of GLP-1 drugs or suggest people are taking them unnecessarily (although some people may be). My intent is to spark a broader conversation: What if we also paid more attention to the root cause: our love for sugar and its downstream effects on mood, metabolism, sex and more? Most people associate blood sugar with diabetes, but few know what is 'normal.' Blood sugar levels can be checked in real time with a simple finger stick, via home glucose monitor or through wearable devices such as continuous glucose monitors (those coin-size devices you may see on people's upper arms), which provide feedback on glucose levels throughout the day. What do we see when this test is done? Following is the American Diabetes Association range of reference for blood glucose levels, but they are not meant for you to diagnose yourself with diabetes. In many instances, your provider may double- or even triple-check these numbers before labeling you with 'diabetes.' All numbers should be evaluated by your health care provider. Fasting blood sugar (no food for at least eight hours prior): Normal: below 100 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher Random blood sugar (taken any time of day): Diabetes is often diagnosed if levels are 200 mg/dL or higher with symptoms. The point-of-care glucose test gives a snapshot, but there's one lab that tells the full story — the hemoglobin A1c. This blood test measures the percentage of hemoglobin proteins in your blood that have glucose attached to it — giving you and your health care providers a picture of your average blood sugar over the past two to three months. This makes it a reliable indicator of how well your body manages glucose over time. Here's how the American Diabetes Association breaks it down: Normal: A1c below 5.7% Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% Diabetes: 6.5% or higher In my work as a surgeon, checking A1c before any procedure — especially those involving implants — is standard practice. Elevated A1c levels are strongly linked to poor recovery, infection risks and surgical complications. So, whether it's a major urologic procedure or something else, keeping your glucose in check matters more than most people realize. Sexual health is rarely the first thing people associate with blood sugar, but chronically high glucose levels can have an impact on intimacy — for everyone. In men, high blood sugar can damage the nerves and blood vessels essential for achieving and maintaining erections. Over time, this can present as erectile dysfunction, before a man is ever diagnosed with or thought to be at risk for diabetes. High blood sugar can also lower testosterone levels, which then reduce libido and energy. Many of my patients who do not get routine screenings from their primary care providers come to see me because of changes in sexual performance — only to later discover their blood sugar is out of control. For these patients, their first clue that something was wrong wasn't thirst, weight changes or fatigue (the more common early signs of diabetes) — it was trouble in the bedroom. In women, high blood sugar can lead to reduced blood flow and hormone imbalances, which may cause vaginal dryness, painful sex or problems with orgasm. It can also increase the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections, which can make intimacy painful or less appealing. Many women can feel frustrated and confused about whether these changes are expected from aging, post-menopause, stress or something else. A poor sugar level is usually the last thing on their mind. Diabetes is incredibly common — about 38 million Americans have it — and nearly 1 in 4 don't even know it, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Traditionally, diabetes treatment started with oral medications like metformin, which helps lower glucose by reducing sugar production in the liver. Other classes of pills work in different ways, either by increasing insulin release or helping the kidneys flush out excess sugar. These medications are typically prescribed for people in the earlier stages of diabetes or with mildly elevated A1c. Injectable medications may be necessary when oral pills aren't enough to treat the disease. For years, that often meant daily insulin injections, which many patients found to be burdensome but necessary. Insulin needs to be carefully timed with meals, and dosing can be tricky. There's also a real fear of low blood sugar episodes, which can make some people hesitant to start or stick with the therapy. Over the past few years, GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs have become part of many people's treatment regimens. This class of medication is known by names like semaglutide, liraglutide and tirzepatide. These injections mimic a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate blood sugar, slows down digestion and make you feel fuller faster. While they were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, they've gained worldwide attention for helping people lose weight. In fact, many patients now ask and get these medications before any other option — not just to manage blood sugar, but to lose weight. These medications also may help normalize testosterone levels in men with obesity or type 2 diabetes, according to preliminary research presented at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting this week. Researchers tracked 110 men who were prescribed GLP-1 injections but were not taking any testosterone therapy. Over the course of 18 months, as participants lost on average about 10% of their body weight, the number of men with normal testosterone levels increased from 53% to 77%. This rise highlights how medications originally designed for diabetes and weight loss also may improve hormone levels in men. While this abstract has not yet been peer-reviewed and more research is needed, these findings add to a growing body of evidence that managing weight and blood sugar can have ripple effects across nearly every aspect of health — including testosterone, energy and sexual function. Before turning immediately to medications, don't underestimate what consistent lifestyle changes can do, not just for your blood sugar but for your whole life. Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity, supports weight loss, boosts energy and even enhances sexual function by improving blood flow and hormone balance. A balanced diet — one that's rich in whole foods, fiber and lean protein — can stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammation that contributes to chronic disease. Better sleep, reduced alcohol and managing stress all play a role, too. So, if you're debating between an injection or a new routine, maybe this time reach for the gym bag before you try anything else. You might just find it changes more than your labs. It might change how you feel about yourself. As for me, the next time I help myself to that scoop of ice cream while writing, I'll remember that it's not just about my waistline — it's about my energy, my heart and my sexual health. And now that I'm done with this article, I'll pick up my gym bag and walk the walk (to the gym) that I'm talking here. Get inspired by a weekly roundup on living well, made simple.

New Jersey woman nearly dies after taking dangerous amount of popular supplement: ‘I was very, very, very scared'
A New Jersey woman says she almost died after taking daily turmeric pills, a popular supplement found in grocery stores. Katie Mohan, a 57-year-old from Morristown, told she sustained liver damage after taking daily pills of turmeric, a yellow spice widely used for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Mohan said her first symptoms included fatigue, nausea, stomach pain and yellowing eyes, which are a sign of jaundice. Mohan first saw her doctor in April, but the scans and tests ordered came back normal. Her symptoms continued to get worse until June, when Mohan read an NBC News story about a man with similar symptoms who found out he had a drug-induced liver injury after taking turmeric daily. 'I threw [the supplements] out, and I said to myself, 'I'm wondering if this is what's causing my symptoms,'' Mohan told Mohan bought the turmeric pills, which were manufactured by YouTheory, at Costco, reports. The product states the daily dose is three pills containing 2,250 milligrams, Mohan said, which is over the World Health Organization's recommendation of up to 3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. A New Jersey woman says she damaged her liver by taking daily turmeric supplements (Getty Images) After reading the NBC News article, Mohan went to urgent care. From there, she was admitted to Morristown Medical Center, where doctors found that she had severe liver damage. She was treated with an antiviral IV drip, but her skin was still yellowing. Mohan recalled thinking: 'Am I going to need a liver transplant? Am I going to die?' 'I was very, very, very scared,' she added. That's when she was transferred to NYU Langone in New York. There, her doctor found 'evidence of acute hepatitis, impending liver failure and potential transplant evaluation.' 'She was really very sick,' Dr. Nikolaos Pyrsopoulos, told 'Her liver numbers were 60 to 70 times above the normal limit. And she was very yellow.' Mohan said Pyrsopoulos confirmed her fears that the turmeric caused her symptoms. Katie Mohan said she was worried she would need a liver transplant after taking too much turmeric (Getty Images) 'He's like, 'You essentially poisoned the liver with the turmeric,'' she said. 'It was the dose combined with the fact that it had that black pepper in it.' Pyrsopoulos told that his hospital sees three to four liver transplants per year related to turmeric poisoning. Mohan has since been discharged and says her liver enzyme levels are still elevated, but they're continuing to fall and her symptoms have completely disappeared. Mohan has since reported the supplements to the Food and Drug Administration. The Independent has contacted Costco and YouTheory for comment.
