Title: Halftime lookback, update on TPR case, and Hoosier public health funding
In this episode of Hoosier Health Matters, hosts Gabriel Bosslet and Tracey Wilkinson look back at the first half of the legislative session with some bill updates and a discussion of the dead bills they will miss and the dead bills they are happy are dead. They also give an update on the Terminated Pregnancy Report court case (including a temporary restraining order). Then how the Governor's Public Health Commission of 2022 changed public health funding in Indiana.
