FALTAM SETE DIAS! E não poderíamos estar mais animados! Para comemorar o início da nossa temporada social (e ver se conseguimos fazer o tempo passar um pouco mais rápido), iremos trazer atividades, informações sobre o nosso primeiro evento ou simplesmente deixaremos um pequeno presente aqui todos os dias antes da nossa estreia. Concentrem-se na primavera que se aproxima e preparem-se para entrar em Hearthstone Hall. Quem sabe? Você pode até ouvir notícias de Lady of the Flowers.
Tumblr media
Suffolk, 1873. À medida que março chega ao fim, o início da temporada social se aproxima, transformando a poeira dos dias monótonos de inverno em sedas finas e passeios… A primavera traz de volta a nobreza e suas vidas escandalosas. Cada nova temporada traz novos rostos e novos jogos, mas as longas noites de inverno geram comportamentos ultrajantes que podem se espalhar por toda a sociedade nobre a qualquer momento. E tanto para veteranos da sociedade perspicazes e bem treinados quanto para debutantes recém-chegados, cada visita matinal será uma dança de humor e cada baile um campo de batalha estratégico. Você encontrará sua outra metade?

thinking abt actually committing to making a rework of HH and redesigning all the characters(not just the characters who i can force into some vintage or antique clothes) and my takes on christian/abrahamic mysticism bc i love a lot of the motifs that went into the show(historical and alt fashion and weird religious stuff as ive mentioned, circus imagery, etc) and it makes me sad how superficial a lot of these influences turned out to be (among the other things abt that show that make me sad) but i also dont want my first interpretation of these things i like and am inspired by to be a reinterpretation of someone elses interpretation because i have my own stories and ocs i wanna talk abt first bc i dont want the rework to like take over my acc

//One more of the new blogs is ready enough. @themoxxieboy is my new Moxxie blog. Same drill as with Husk, I'll have a starter call up once his bio is completely finished, but as he's a canon character, I'm less concerned with that than any of his other pages. Feel free to go poke him. I'll put up some memes and open starters and things once I've got the last of these new blogs up and done, which should be shortly.
(And yes, I did base his URL on the Moxie Boy, Moxie's mascot. If you're not familiar, Moxie is one of the oldest soda brands in the US, having started production in 1876 as a sort of cure-all and in 1884 as a soda. It was originally called "Moxie Nerve Food" and that somehow just seems fitting for him. You know, the guy who fixes all the shit that goes wrong with I.M.P.'s crazy administration. He's sort of I.M.P.'s version of a cure-all, just don't ask Blitzo about it.)

i saw u were taking requests! uhmmm, i had this thought just recently; you know how in the v first ep of hh where alastor kinda runs his fingers up his staff thingie? well, That but him doing it to reader instead teehee 🤭
Tumblr media
YOUR SWEET RADIO DEMON!
— on a date with alastor, he gets unusually possessive and jealous
— I SAW THIS ANDIMMIDEITYYL HAD TO WRITE IT
Tumblr media
as infamously known by hotel residents and staff, alastor loves to invade others’ personal space; pulling them uncomfortably close, touching their faces— it’s the sheer entertainment to see them writhe uncomfortably under his harsh touch, knowing that he could make them disappear right now if he wanted to.
but, he especially likes to touch you, his dear. your puffy baby cheeks, your big eyes, your resting pout on those pretty lips; you’re simply just adorable, he could eat you up!
he has to admit, you’re also divinely gorgeous, what if other overlords try to steal you away from him? of course, no one would even compare to him, much less dare to… but, he must be cautious in case some egotistical sinner thinks that they’d be able to court you.
he’d thought about marking you, perhaps on the neck, but doing that would include unsightly deeds that he wouldn’t want to indulge in…
so then, he decided to do the next best thing; have you accompany him as a companion through his day. keeping you with him as he does his overlord duties, an arm safely around your waist. and, in return, he spoils you with lovely gifts of top-notch quality.
of course, there are better solutions to satiate his possessive behavior… but, this is the one that both of you find most enjoyable.
on one of these days, alastor followed you inside as the two of you went on a date to lu-lu world, taking you on all of the thrilling rollercoasters. to be quite honest, he had a fun time, albeit all the tacky circus decor throughout the place.
while at one of the game booths, you threw the bean bag, hoping to score some points. alastor used his shadow to pull it into the hole, making absolute sure you win.
the gamemaker’s jaw fell in awe, never usually having anyone beat the game. “lovely game, my dear! i believe there is a prize that was won?” alastor looked at the demon gamemaker who hurriedly brought a large lamb-like plushie, styled after charlie’s bodyguard, dazzle.
after all of that, the red skies of hell grew dark as nightfall came. you and alastor walked to the exit before you ran into a specific man.
“oh..! what are you doing here?” lucifer asked, slightly pointing his staff towards you, his face contorting to annoyance as he looked at alastor.
“alastor and i are on… um…” you wandered off, a little embarrassed to explain. “we’re on a date, of course!” alastor announced as he pulled closer to him by your shoulder, his fingers moving behind you to dance on your skin.
your posture straightened, subconsciously trying to move away from the ticklish feeling moving itself up on your spine. “i’d say the better question is what is a man such as yourself doing here alone, hm?” alastor glared down at him.
“well, for one— i own the place.” lucifer frowned back at alastor. “very well, then. we’ll see you around, i suppose!” alastor sighed, pulling you immediately away from lucifer and not even giving him the chance to bid farewell.
as alastor pulled you away, you saw his smile getting strained. “are you ok? why were you—“ “what was that about, my love? why did you not tell him yourself that we were on a date?” you asked before alastor interrupted, the radio static over his voice getting louder the more irritated he got.
your eyes avoided his as you searched your mind for an answer. “ah… well…” you bit your lip, stalling yourself as you came up with a reason.
“is it because you’d rather go on a date with him instead?” he snarled, his eyes clearly frustrated. “would you rather be with that lonely man? all he ever does is make rubber ducks!” he sighed, his jealousy ruining his composure.
“what?!” you frowned. “no… it’s just that… it’s a little embarrassing to explain things to other people. i also got a little flustered because i didn’t expect to see him here… i love you, alastor, promise…” you pouted, leaning your head on his chest
he sighed, satisfied with your response as he put a hand on your head. “good. because you’re mine, dear. don’t ever forget that. and, if you do…” alastor started before his hand once again moved to your spine, two fingers tickling your skin as they danced their way to the nape of your neck.
“agh, stop that!” you whined. “that tickles… don’t worry, i’m all yours.” you shook your head, baffled by the extent of his jealousy. “very good… i love you too, my dear.”

This one meme aged like fine wine.
Hello!
I also like TADC, and one of my theories is that people who abstracts and go "to the cellar" fuses into one collective conscience. Something lke the SU corrupt fusions (or fusions in general).
I can't believe I made this meme when the second TADC episode wasn't even announced yet. I had faith on the thing since the beggining it seems.
Also I've heard rumours that FNF Week 8 and HH's Full Moon releases today as well. I hope so, because I'm relatively free this weekend and it would be cool to have stuff to do (I'm kinda distant to the first fandom tho, because early FNF something else to me. Still like it tho).
See you later!

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week.
January 19-26 2024
The Energy Department announced its pausing all new liquefied natural gas export facilities. This puts a pause on export terminal in Louisiana which would have been the nation's largest to date. The Department will use the pause to study the climate impact of LNG exports. Environmentalists cheer this as a major win they have long pushed for.
The Transportation Department announced 5 billion dollars for new infrastructure projects. The big ticket item is 1 billion dollars to replace the 60 year old Blatnik Bridge between Superior, Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota which has been dangerous failing since 2017. Other projects include $600 million to replace the 1-5 bridge between Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, $427 million for the first offshore wind terminal on the West Coast, $372 million to replace the 90 year old Sagamore Bridge that connects Cape Cod to the mainland,$300 million for the Port of New Orleans, and $142 million to fix the I-376 corridor in Pittsburgh.
the White House Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access announced new guidance that requires insurance companies must cover contraceptive medications under the Affordable Care Act. The Biden Administration also took actions to make sure contraceptive medications would be covered under Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and Federal Employee Health Benefits Program. HHS has launched a program to educate all patients about their rights to emergency abortion medical care under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. This week marks 1 year since President Biden signed a Presidential Memorandum seeking to protect medication abortion and all federal agencies have reported on progress implementing it.
A deal between Democrats and Republicans to restore the expand the Child Tax Credit cleared its first step in Congress by being voted out of the House Ways and Means Committee. The Child Tax Credit would affect 16 million kids in the first year and lift 400,000 out of poverty. The Deal also includes an expansion of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit which will lead to 200,000 new low income rental units being built, and also tax relief to people affected by natural disasters
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted for a bill to allow President Biden to seize $5 billion in Russian central bank assets. Biden froze the assets at the beginning of Russia's war against Ukraine, but under this new bill could distribute these funds to Ukraine, Republican Rand Paul was the only vote against.
The Senate passed the "Train More Nurses Act" seeking to address the critical national shortage of nurses. It aims to increase pathways for LPNs to become RNs as well as a review of all nursing programs nationally to see where improvements can be made
3 more Biden Judges were confirmed, bring the total number of Judges appointed by President Biden to 171. For the first time in history the majority of federal judge nominees have not been white men. Biden has also appointed Public Defenders and civil rights attorneys breaking the model of corporate lawyers usually appointed to life time federal judgeships

hello! absolutely love your blog <3!! just thought i could share since idk who else to dump my ghost infested brain.. but lately i’ve been brainrotting for fluffy and domestic ghost hh something about helping him shave in the morning before cooking breakfast together and just lazing around in the afternoon drives me insane
Lazy Sunday with Simon
A/N: I got this ask before I decided to turn off the anon option for a while! I’ll let you know when I turn it back on :) There’s more A/N at the end; meet me there!
———————————————————————
He usually wakes up at 6 a.m., regardless of the day of the week. You’ve always marvelled at this trait, secretly envious of his ability to jump out of bed immediately. You wonder if he’s a morning person by nature or if his past military training instilled this reflex. Regardless, you rarely wake up at the same time. And on the rare occasion that you do so, he’s eager to get up as soon as possible, as though laying in bed simply served his survival needs for sleep and nothing else.
But today is different. It’s almost 9 a.m., and you sit on your shared bed, watching him sleep. His chest rises and falls, and you mimic his breath, momentarily experiencing life from his perspective.
As you shuffle to retrieve something from your bedside drawer, he stirs and wakes up.
“Shit!” He curses, shooting up like a spring.
“Simon,” you say to him, your hand halfway to the drawer, “it’s Sunday.”
He checks his phone to confirm your statement, then sighs. Rubbing his eyes, he turns to look at you.
“Good morning,” he says sheepishly.
“Morning,” you respond with a chuckle.
He crawls over to your side of the bed and kisses your lips.
“You, sir, need a shave,” you tease, gesturing to his stubble.
He rubs his chin. “I do, don’t I?” he admits, rising from the bed and heading to the bathroom.
You hear the sound of the toilet flushing, the faucet running, and teeth brushing, followed by a silence that makes you tune in. You can listen to him unscrewing the cap of his shaving cream, whistling as he applies it to his face.
You rise from the bed and enter the bathroom. Simon catches your eye in the mirror’s reflection and raises an eyebrow.
“This room ain’t big enough for the both of us,” he quips, mimicking Nick Grindell from The Western Code.
You smile and press against his back, wrapping your arms around him. “Looks like there’s enough room now,” you say playfully.
He resumes shaving, and you watch him closely; tiny strokes with the razor, then a rinse and repeat.
“Can I try?” you ask, and he stops mid-stroke to look at you.
“I don’t know, can you?” he teases.
“I’ve shaved my legs before,” you reply.
“Exactly,” he emphasizes, “your legs, not my face.” But he hands you the razor anyway and instructs you on how to proceed.
You seem to be doing fine until he suddenly jerks back from the razor and lets out a yell. You panic, but he quickly bursts out laughing.
“Asshole!” you exclaim. “I thought I cut you!”
“That was the point, love,” he chuckles. “You should have seen your face.”
“And you should have seen your face if I had actually cut you!” you quip, brandishing the razor in mock threat.
No matter how long you two live together, he remains his old, caustic self. He is kind and gentle, except when pulling one of his “jokes.” You’ve had to learn to adapt to his sense of humour.
You announce that you’d go to the kitchen to get breakfast started while he keeps on shaving, and he gives you a thumbs up.
———————————————————————
As the kettle on the stove begins to whistle, you deftly mix the pancake batter. He approaches you and stands beside you, watching you whisk.
“You shouldn’t be doing that,” he comments, gesturing towards the bowl.
“Whisking batter?” you question, eyebrows raised.
“You shouldn’t be doing pancakes in general,” he elaborates, lifting his shirt to reveal a hint of a soft belly. “Look.” He says and gives it a slap.
He has put on some weight after leaving the army, but this didn’t bother you as much as it bothered him. The weight gain was not the real issue but rather a manifestation of how he felt - insignificant. He didn’t talk about it directly, but it showed up in other ways. Mumbling to himself while watching the news, for example, reciting what his team would have done differently in that case. Or by reflecting on how he could have helped in recent disasters while discussing with your friends. In this case, it manifested in the form of fishing for compliments.
“You look fine.” You comment, but he rolls his eyes.
“No, I don’t,” he says, “stop lying.”
“Hey,” you wave the whisk at his face, “I never lie, ok?”
He shoots his arms in the air. “First the razor, now the whisk,” he says, “you’re too aggressive today, don’t you think?”
“I like you, no matter what. Understood?” You keep threatening him, and, with a manoeuvre, he takes the whisk off your hands to continue the mixing.
You prepare the table, and he serves the pancakes he cooked. You both sit down at the table, enjoying your breakfast. As you eat, your mind keeps going back to your previous conversation.
“Hey, I was thinking,” you say between bites. “There’s a veterans’ group in town that meets every week. Maybe you could check it out?”
He looks up from his plate and then shakes his head. “No,” he states.
“Why not?” You ask, “it could be good for you to connect with other veterans and share your experiences rather than arguing with the TV.”
He keeps staring at you, and you’re unsure if he feels exposed or contemplates your idea.
“There are other people like you, Simon,” you explain, “good people who went through similar things.”
He shrugs and takes another bite. “What do they do in that group?” He asks.
“I don’t know,” you reply, “but I can find out if you want.”
“No,” he shakes his head, “I’ll do that.”
You smile. “That’s great,” you say, relieved, “I think it could really help you.”
He nods and takes another bite. The two of you continue eating and talking, enjoying the simple pleasure of a warm, late breakfast.
———————————————————————
You both lay sprawled on your living room couch. You’re glued to the TV, binging on the new season of “Love is Blind,” while he lies next to you, engrossed in a book.
You notice his eyes flickering towards the screen occasionally, but he tries to hide it. You catch him peeking again and can’t resist poking fun at him.
“Interested, I see?” You ask with a smirk.
“What the fuck is that?” he asks you back with a sneer.
“It’s a reality show,” you explain, gesturing towards the screen. “People date each other in these rooms called ‘pods’ without seeing each other.”
“Huh,” Simon scoffs, “and how do they meet?”
“One proposes, and if the other accepts, they finally meet.”
He puts down his book, stares at the screen, and then back at you.
“Like a marriage proposal?” He asks with raised eyebrows, and you nod.
“You’re kidding,” he states in disbelief.
“No,” you shake your head, giggling, “I’m afraid I’m not.”
He opens up his book again and shakes his head. “What a load of bullshit,” he grumbles.
But as the episodes keep rolling, you can see his resistance slowly crumbling. His book is closed for good now and placed on the side table next to him. “What a load of bullshit” has now turned into “what a fucking nob head!” and “can you believe them?!”
And as the day turns into dusk and the marathon draws ungracefully to an end, he waves his finger at the TV.
“Put the next episode!” he orders.
“It’s not aired yet.”
Simon’s face contorts into a look of pure shock and horror, and you stifle a laugh.
“You can’t be serious, love!” he yells. “When are the next ones supposed to be aired?”
“In two weeks, Si-”
“TWO WEEKS?” he exclaims in a high-pitched voice. “What are we supposed to do for two weeks?!”
“There are three more seasons before this o- “
“Now!” He commands, slapping the cushion with enthusiasm. “Put. The first. Season. Now!”
———————————————————————
Hey, sweet person who requested this and fellow readers! 🍫 Hope you enjoyed it! Maybe I got Simon a little out of character with the “Love Is Blind” scene, but I saw a similar TikTok/IG Reel (I can’t remember where exactly) and instantly thought of him. So I wanted to include it! Also, my stupid ass kept writing “whisker” instead of “whisk” until I thought to google it. Glad I did.

"The Biden administration on Monday announced new rules designed to safeguard the privacy of abortion providers and patients seeking the procedure, a move which comes in response to threats from conservative prosecutors putting abortion in their crosshairs.
"The rules announced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will bar doctors, insurers and other health-care groups from making health information available to state officials investigating, prosecuting, or filing a lawsuit against a patient or provider. 
They shield both people crossing state lines to seek a legal abortion and those who are not covered under a given state’s abortion ban due to being a rape survivor, for example.
The new regulations update the healthy privacy law known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, which dates to 1996 and did not anticipate today’s uncertain reproductive rights landscape. 
Prior to the new rules taking effect — which won’t happen for at least two months — it will remain legal for organizations to share private health information with law enforcement investigating crimes."

Hellooooo I just saw that you’re taking HH requestsssss!!! Also I hope you’re having an amazing dayyyy!! (Also take your time, no rush here hun)
Ok so a Lucifer x (f) reader where she and a few of her performance group get invited to do a dance for the king of hell himself and many others at a party with some of the most important figures of hell. The reader, while performing, catches Lucifer’s eye and so after the group performs Lucifer FINALLYY gains the courage to speak with her and appreciate her talent.
If you can do this that would be greatttt!!! ♡♡
Ahahaha! I did it! I had a lot of fun writing this and I hope you'll enjoy reading it 💖
LUCIFER X PERFORMER READER
Your nerves were singing, this might be the biggest performance of your whole career here in Hell. The Lucifer, King of Hell, big boss on campus, asked for your group to dance at his gala personally. This could be everything, the thing to bring your group to the next level.
You looked at yourself in the mirror, you needed to make sure everything was perfect. You were fidgeting with your bottles, and palettes, making sure your makeup was perfect. Adding extra glitter to make sure you stood out and sparkled on stage.
"Alright ladies, it's time to go, break a leg everyone!" Your manager announced to the group of you. Taking a slow steadying breath you stood up. Time to go.
Lucifer sat on his throne at the far back of the ballroom, Asmodeus and him deep in conversation, just trying to catch up since he's been away for so long. It was nice seeing Ozzie again, he was always one of Lucifer's favorites and they fell right back into the rhythm of things.
"So have you been looking for any fresh meat since Lil's been gone?" Ozzie said, wiggling his brows, Lucifer blushed.
"Wha… I, no-" Lucifer stammered, he really hadn't thought about anyone like that in a long time.
"Oh come on your highness," Ozzie said with a grin, "you have to get your tail wet at some point, it's not good to be hung up over the same woman for the rest of your life."
He sighed, "yeah I know, it's just-"
Your performance had begun.
You had stepped out center stage to a single spotlight and begun to move your body to the rhythm. Lucifer was starstruck, he had frozen mid sentence, enraptured by your beauty and grace. Ozzie noticed too, he raised an eyebrow at his demon lord, grin growing ever wider.
The rest of your group had joined you on stage as the music came to a crescendo. All of you moving in time, bodies sweaty adding extra shine to the already copious amounts of glitter.
Lucifer still hadn't moved, Ozzie wasn't even sure he'd blinked, growing a little concerned he waved a hand in front of his face. Lucifer reached out and held his wrist tight to stop it from moving, it was an automatic reaction, like a robot. Lucifer held Ozzie's wrist for the whole rest of the performance.
Once your group had finished, taking a bow as everyone clapped, Ozzie leaned over and whispered, "you know I can get you her number if you want?"
"I, what?" Lucifer had snapped back to reality all at once, dropping Ozzie's wrist instantly. He was so stoopified by your dance that he hadn't even realized what he'd done.
"Yeah, they perform for me in the Lust Ring all the time," Ozzie leaned even closer, brow cocked, "who do you think suggested they perform tonight?" He grinned at his easily flustered boss, noticing the pink dusting his cheeks. The King of Hell was such a baby sometimes. "Or… I could introduce you?"
"I think I… have to go." Lucifer rose from his throne and dashed away in a panic hearing Asmodeus' laughter the whole way.
He was in a quiet hallway far from the rest of the crowd, his heart was hammering in his chest, his blood felt thick. He hasn't had that sort of immediate reaction to anyone since he saw Lillith in the garden. He placed a hand to the wall to steady himself, his knees wobbled a little.
"Are you ok?" Lucifer whipped around, and just his luck, there you were. You had changed out of your dance outfit and were wearing something more casual. Glitter still stuck to your face and hair though. He wanted to reach out and brush it away.
Instead he rubbed his hands together and noticed how sweaty they had gotten.
"Y-yeah, I'm… I'm ok." He chuckled weakly. God he was making such an ass of himself.
"Oh my god, you're Lucifer." You had looked starstruck. "Thank you so much for letting us perform here for you, it was such an honor." You bowed before him a shy smile gracing your features.
"No no, don't… don't do that." He said taking your shoulders and correcting your posture. "You were truly an experience, I'm the one who should be honored."
His charming smile lit your cheeks on fire, not to mention his hands still lingering on your shoulders. You couldn't believe how kind Lucifer was being, you could feel the butterflies in your chest.
"Th- thank you so much, that truly means a lot." You smiled gently his way.
It was his turn to blush, quickly taking his hands back and rubbing them together anxiously, when had they become so sweaty?
"Would… would you like to go to dinner sometime?"
What.
You stared, wide eyed, mouth open. He looked so shy, his eyes were avoiding yours at all costs. You giggled causing him to perk up.
"Of course, I would love to." You smiled.
"So, tomorrow at 8?" He was so suddenly very excited, he did it, asked you out and better yet, you said yes!
"Perfect!" You were grinning ear to ear matching his enthusiasm.
"I'll see you then!" He gave your shoulder a warm squeeze and promptly exited the gala.
Lucifer was standing on the sidewalk outside of the building when he realized that in all his excitement he didn't ask you for your number, he had no way of contacting you.
"Shit." He mumbled as he made his way back inside.

I wonder how does an announcement fail at being an announcement.
I can already see people saying that it's just a teaser or an announcement. They don't have to reveal a lot but at least give the audience a basic understanding of what's gonna happen and what the story is about. But the FNAF teaser at least gave its audience the background of what's going on and what's going to happen. There's really nothing with the HH announcement, just multiple silent videos with background music. It's like the people behind HH just posted all the gifs they were planning on releasing throughout 2023. There's nothing that explains who the MC is, what the story is going to be about, and what's going to happen.

(CNN) - In new clarifying guidance announced Monday, the Biden Administration said that federal law preempts state abortion bans when emergency care is needed, and that the federal government can penalize institutions or providers that fail to provide necessary abortions to treat medical emergencies.
"Under the law, no matter where you live, women have the right to emergency care — including abortion care," HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a news release Monday. "Today, in no uncertain terms, we are reinforcing that we expect providers to continue offering these services, and that federal law preempts state abortion bans when needed for emergency care."
In more than a dozen states, legal fights are underway over abortion bans and other laws that strictly limit the procedure after the US Supreme Court ended a constitutional right to an abortion on June 24.
In a letter to the nation's health care providers on Monday, Becerra said a federal statute called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) protects providers' clinical judgement and the actions they take to provide stabilizing treatment to pregnant patients who are experiencing emergency medical conditions, regardless of restrictions in any given state.
EMTALA has been on the books since 1986. It specifically requires all patients get the appropriate medical screening, examination, stabilizing treatment and transfer to an appropriate facility if necessary.
The administration said examples of emergency medical conditions may include, but are not limited to, ectopic pregnancy -- when the fertilized egg grows outside a woman's uterus -- and complications of miscarriages. Stabilizing treatment could include abortion.
Becerra said if a state law bans abortion and does not include an exception for the life and health of the pregnant person, that state law is preempted by the federal statute.
"We heard a lot from physicians that we needed to be clearer on these points because people were still too scared to treat people," a senior adviser with HHS said in a background briefing with the media. The guidance today is "meant to try to provide that reassurance here on the clinical judgment of these physicians and hospitals."
HHS said it will do everything within its authority to ensure patients get the care they need.
The statute applies to emergency departments and other specific clinical settings. Providers also will not have to wait for a patient's condition to worsen to be protected by this statute.
If a hospital is found in violation of this statute, a hospital could lose its Medicare and Medicaid provider agreements and could face civil penalties. An individual physician could also face civil penalties if they are found in violation.
Under the statute HHS may impose a $119,942 fine per violation for hospitals with over 100 beds, $59,973 for hospitals under 100 beds. A physician could face a $119,942 fine per violation.
"We are making enforcement a priority," a senior HHS official said.
A memo from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said that hospitals should ensure that all staff who may encounter an emergency situation with a pregnant person be aware of the hospital's obligation under EMTALA.
The statute also contains a whistleblower provision that prevents retaliation by the hospital against its employee who refuses to transfer a patient with an emergency medical condition that has not been stabilized by the hospital. A link on the CMS website allows people to file an EMTALA complaint.
The enforcement of EMTALA depends on people making a complaint to the government. An investigation can only follow if a complaint is made.
"Health care must be between a patient and their doctor, not a politician," said Becerra in a news release. "We will continue to leverage all available resources at HHS to make sure women can access the life-saving care they need."
