Majority of NM Hospitals Noncompliant with Price Transparency Law

Title: Majority of NM Hospitals Noncompliant with Price Transparency Law
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: 9.15.23 – According to a July report from an advocacy group, only five of 14 hospitals in New Mexico are compliant with a federal rule regarding price transparency. The semi-annual report comes from the nonprofit Patient Rights Advocate, which began its work shortly after the Hospital Transparency Rule went into effect in 2021. The rule requires hospitals to post five different standard charges for common medical procedures they offer. The rule also requires hospitals to provide patients with an out-of-pocket cost estimator tool or payer-specific negotiated rates for at least 300 shoppable services.

For more on the study, senior producer Lou DiVizio sits down with Patient Rights Advocate CEO Cynthia Fisher.

New Mexico's Nuclear Underground: An Our Land Special

Title: New Mexico's Nuclear Underground: An Our Land Special
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: This year, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a 40-year license for a private company, Holtec International, to build a facility between Hobbs and Carlsbad that would store nuclear waste from power plants the company is decommissioning in states from New Jersey to California. New Mexico already stores transuranic waste from nuclear weapons production in the salt caverns at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant or WIPP. This project would be different, and would eventually hold up to 10,000 canisters, with each canister holding 8,680 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel from commercial power plants. The New Mexico State Legislature passed Senate Bill 53 this year, which would prohibit state agencies from issuing permits, contracts or leases for the facility—unless the state approves the facility or the federal government moves forward with a permanent storage spot for the nation's commercial nuclear waste.

On this special episode of Our Land, we hear from John Heat...

Full Episode | Gene Grant Says Goodbye to New Mexico in Focus

Title: Full Episode | Gene Grant Says Goodbye to New Mexico in Focus
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: This week on New Mexico in Focus, we say goodbye to a mainstay at NMPBS, Gene Grant. Gene’s thoughtful and balanced approach to issues of the day made NMiF go-to watching for a generation of viewers. This week, we look back at the highlights of Gene’s career here, while making sure to assess the impact of his nearly two decades of work.

Gene’s first appearance on NMPBS, back when the show was called “In Focus,” came in 2005 as a guest. During that interview, former host Kate Nelson asks Gene about his thoughts on shifts in journalism during the booming blog era and the responsibilities journalists have to their readers.

In 2014, PBS was airing the hit series "Finding Your Roots," where host Henry Louis Gates and a team of genealogists gathered information on the family histories of celebrities and public figures. In October of that year, Gene sat down with genealogist Ruth Randall and got a few surprises about his own family history.

Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: This week on New Mexico in Focus, Gene Grant talks to the Line Opinion Panel about a report from the U.S. Forest Service that shows they were responsible for starting last year's Cerro Pelado Fire, due in part to a holdover fire from a prescribed burn the agency conducted in the area two weeks prior. Gene asks the panel why the Forest Service was tight-lipped about its discovery and asks how the service can win back public trust. Then, Gene and the panel discuss a report from a national activist group that calls for New Mexico officials to pare back water access for agriculture businesses and to prioritize residential and drinking water. Gene asks the panelists to consider how the state’s water scarcity impacts farming, farmers and consumers.

Is a Settlement on the Rio Grande Coming Soon? | Our Land

Title: Is a Settlement on the Rio Grande Coming Soon? | Our Land
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: 8.4.23 – After the relatively wet years of the 1980s and ‘90s, New Mexico’s reservoirs started dropping in the 2000s. In cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, two water districts — one in New Mexico and another in Texas — agreed in 2008 on new ways to share water stored in Elephant Butte Reservoir. But New Mexico’s then-attorney general, Gary King, sued the federal government, saying too much of New Mexico’s water was going to Texas. Texas disagreed and then sued New Mexico and Colorado, alleging that by allowing farmers to pump groundwater connected to the river, New Mexico wasn’t sending its fair share downstream. That landed all three states in the U.S. Supreme Court, where the federal government also weighed in on the issue. Now, the three states say they’ve come up with a plan to move forward, and although the federal government hasn’t agreed to the plan, federal Judge Michael Melloy, the case’s special master, has recommended the Supreme Court ap...

Full Interview | Redistricting Lawsuits Move Forward After NM Supreme Court Decision | In Focus

Title: Full Interview | Redistricting Lawsuits Move Forward After NM Supreme Court Decision | In Focus
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: 7.21.23 – A recent ruling from the New Mexico Supreme Court could set the stage for changes to political redistricting in the state. The justices weighed in on a lawsuit brought by the state Republican Party and others challenging the new congressional districts drawn by the Democrat-controlled state Legislature. But the decision could impact another case too — a lawsuit brought by the Navajo Nation, alleging San Juan County Commissioners packed Native American voters into a single district. New Mexico in Focus Correspondent Gwyneth Doland caught up with two people familiar with these cases to ask what impact the outcomes could have on future elections.

Title: Full Episode | Oppenheimer’s Legacy in NM, Former UNM AD Acquitted & Actors/Writers Strike Escalates
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: This week on New Mexico in Focus, The Line Opinion Panel rejoins the show. After the release of the film Oppenheimer, Gene Grant asks the panel about the legacies of nuclear testing in New Mexico and whether the film should have included an examination of the devastating impacts of the scientists’ work here. Then, Gene and the group discuss the recent acquittal of former University of New Mexico athletic director Paul Krebs. A jury found Krebs not guilty of two felony counts of embezzlement after prosecutors said he used public money to pay for a luxurious golf trip for donors. The panel will explore how the verdict could impact the handling of future public corruption cases. Gene and The Line will conclude with a conversation about the ongoing film actors’ and writers’ strike. Film productions in New Mexico have been forced to shut down, as they have in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Gene asks if this labor dispute could set a precedent for creative industries moving forward.
