Coverage and Access: Sen. Mazie Hirono joined a probe into insurers’ role in ACA coverage terminations; a separate survey finds nearly half of AAPI women lack a reproductive health provider.

Prevention: The state Department of Health is marking Lead Poisoning Prevention Week with a statewide campaign and webinar.
