President Donald Trump’s attempt to transform American health insurance is almost complete. Twenty months ago, frustrated after attempts to repeal Obamacare fell apart in the Republican-controlled Senate, Trump pledged to use executive power to do what Congress failed to legislate.

Healthcare providers' financial pressure has dampened the outlook of staffing firms, according to a new report. Staffing companies that serve hospitals—such as Envision, Team Health and Schumacher—are particularly vulnerable as emergency department volumes decline and health systems develop predictive tools to better measure demand, according to a new report from ratings agency Standard & Poor's. The agency maintained a stable outlook on the staffing industry, although it is a precarious one as providers try to find their financial footing. (Kacik, 6/14)

Nearly 2 million people had data exposed in healthcare breaches reported to the federal government last month, more than double the number whose data was exposed in April-reported incidents. But May had fewer breaches reported than April, which marked the highest number of healthcare breaches reported in a single month since HHS' Office for Civil Rights began maintaining its database in 2010.
