Medicaid expiration may put enrollees at risk

That requirement is still in place two years later, but health care advocates in Texas and Houston said they are worried about what could happen when it ends and millions of people have their safety nets put into jeop- ardy. The Urban Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, estimated as many as 1.3 million Texans could be deemed ineligible for Medicaid once the public health emergency ends. Roughly 3.7 million of the 5.2 million Texans enrolled in Medicaid will have their eligibility redetermined once the emergency ends, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

“THE VAST MAJORITY ... OF PEOPLE WHO KIND OF STAYED ON MEDICAID LONGER THAN EXPECTED ARE LOWINCOME KIDS. I THINK WE WILL SEE THE MOST DISENROLLMENT IN THAT GROUP.” LAURA DAGUE, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, PUBLIC SERVICE AND ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT

BY SHAWN ARRAJJ, LAURA ROBB & SIERRA ROZEN

When the coronavirus pandemic emerged in March 2020, the U.S. government issued a requirement that states could no longer kick people o Medicaid during the public health emergency. The purpose was to prevent people on Medicaid—a government-run health care policy—from being left without insurance.

FEATURED IMPACT COMING SOON On May 11, the Houston Spaceport reached a new milestone with the groundbreaking of the largest company so far to join the spaceport. Axiom Space broke ground on its new 400,000-square-foot headquarters on 22 acres at 13200 Space Center Blvd., Houston. At the facility, Axiom will manufacture the world’s rst commercial space station and train private astronauts. “This groundbreaking will pave the way to the world’s rst commercial space station,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said. Dan Seal, executive director of special initiatives for the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership, said at a May 11 meeting that Axiom will build space station modules that will eventually latch onto the International Space Station. When the ISS is decommissioned around 2030, the Axiom modules will separate from the ISS and link up with each other to remain in orbit as a commercial space station, Seal said. In addition, Axiom made history with its own private astronauts in April. The rst all-private astronaut mission to the ISS launched April 8 and splashed down April 25.

Axiom President and CEO Michael Suredini said he moved to Houston 39 years ago to join NASA working in human spaceight, eventually becoming program manager of the ISS. During his time there, Suredini realized Houston has engineers that design spacecrafts, astronauts who go to space and mission planners who oversee operations but no manufacturing of space vehicles, he said. Surendini started Axiom Space in 2016 to ll that gap in Houston, he said. “We’re not really exploring anymore; we’re pioneering. That’s a huge, huge thing to go do,” Surendini said. The facility will bring hundreds of jobs to Clear Lake. The company employs 450 people, but that will increase to about 1,300 by next year. www.axiomspace.com

TRANSPORTATION UPDATES TxDOT considering changes to Broadway Street widening project

COMPILED BY ANDY YANEZ

ONGOING PROJECTS

There could soon be changes to the original federally approved design to widen FM 518, better known as Broadway Street, in Pearland. The Texas Department of Transpor- tation from April 26-May 13 collected public input on a proposed change to the Broadway Street widening project from Cullen Parkway to Hwy. 35 in Pearland. TxDOT aims to make a decision based on the public input by the summer and begin a detailed design for the project toward the end of the year. “The project is needed because current and projected growth in the area has caused trac demand to increase,” said Daisy Orona, bilingual communication specialist for Stantec, a design and consulting company working with TxDOT on the project. The original design included widen- ing Broadway Street from four to six lanes between Hwy. 288 and Hwy. 35. The project is going to be broken down in two phases: Hwy. 288 to Cullen Parkway for Phase 1, which is

set to begin construction in 2025 and cost $88 million, and Cullen Parkway to Hwy. 35 for Phase 2. The changes to Phase 2 include acquiring less right of way for the expansion, constructing three 11-foot-wide lanes on each side of the thoroughfare, and creating sidewalks on the north and south sides of Broadway Street. TxDOT originally planned to acquire more right of way and build two 12-foot lanes and one 15-foot shared lane for cars and bicycles on each side of Broadway. “Based on public comments and discussions with the city of Pearland,

TxDOT decided to revisit the design for ... FM 518,” Orona said. While the proposed changes to Phase 2 of the Broadway Street expansion are projected to aect fewer parcels in the city, it could potentially displace more proper- ties because of the addition of the pedestrian path that was originally planned to be a shared lane with cars, Orona said. TxDOT will oer nancial assistance to residences and busi- nesses displaced due to federal law. The estimated construction cost for Phase 2 of the project is $44 million, Orona said. A timeline for construc- tion has yet to be set.

PEARLAND Council members will be barred from entering into a contract with the city of Pearland for a set time limit after they leave office. Pearland City Council at its May 23 regular meeting passed the second reading of an ordinance amending the city’s ethics ordinance, making it so the city cannot enter a contract with former council members and any business they have a substantial interest in for at least 12 months after their successor is sworn in. Texas Local Government Code states a person has a substantial interest in a business if that person owns 10% or more of the business’ voting stocks or shares; that person owns $15,000 or more of the fair market value of the business; funds received from the business made up 10% or more of a person’s gross income the previous year; or a person related to the former council member has a substan- tial interest in the business. The ordinance was originally set for the limit with former council members to last only nine months, but a motion was

unanimously passed to extend the limit to 12 months after they leave office. While the May 23 ordinance applies only to former council members, City Council had previously requested a subsequent amendment to the ethics ordinance applying the same provision to current council members. That amendment will come to council for discussion in June, City Attorney Darrin Coker said. “I think there is a commitment that the folks in the city understand that we are working for them, not trying to get money for them, necessarily, professionally,” Council Member Alex Kamkar said.

Friendswood ISD approves new attendance zones for 2023-24 school year

Short-term rental owners in Pearland could soon pay $175 fee for permit

FEE BREAKDOWN Pearland City Council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance that could establish new fees to cover the cost of permitting short-term rentals.

PEARLAND Property owners looking to rent out their property as a short-term rental on platforms, such as Airbnb or Vrbo, could soon have to pay $175 in fees first. Pearland City Council at its May 23 meeting unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance to include a new fee to cover the cost of permitting short-term rentals in the city. The second reading could come as soon as June 13. City Council passed an ordinance on April 11 establishing require- ments and regulations to operate short-term rentals within city limits, including permitting requirements. The $75 permit application fee covers city staff costs. The $100 inspection fee covers the inspec- tion costs for the fire marshal’s office. In total, it is a $175 fee, agenda documents said. If a property fails an inspec- tion, the owner needs to pay an additional $50 fee to cover the cost of a representative from the fire marshal’s office’s returning

FRIENDSWOOD ISD Newly drawn atten- dance zones for the 2023-24 school year were approved at the Friendswood ISD board’s May 9 meeting. The 2020 bond project to build the $36 million new Cline Elementary School, which is located in the West Ranch mas- ter-planned community, is one of the main reasons for the new attendance zones, according to district officials. The area around the new Cline Elemen- tary would be zoned to Westwood Elemen- tary School and Bales Intermediate School. FM 528 would serve as the major dividing line between students being zoned to either Westwood Elementary and Bales Interme- diate, Windsong Intermediate School or Cline Elementary. Additions and renovations for Westwood Elementary, located at 506 W. Edgewood Drive, and Bales Intermediate, located at 211 Stadium Lane, were also part of the 2020 bond. Costs of these projects have not yet been decided, and will be determined in the fall when they go to bid. The upgrades will enable the schools to accommodate more students.

Permit application fee ($75): covers city staff costs for permit application Short-term rental inspection fee ($100): covers fire marshal’s office cost for inspection Short-term rental reinspection fee ($50): covers cost to fire marshal’s office if first inspection fails Renewal application fee ($75): renewal for permit is expected to be every two years

to the property, according to presented agenda documents. Every two years, a short-term rental owner will need to renew the permit, which would cost a fee of $75 if the second reading is passed.

MEN’S HEALTH: SYMPTOMS NOT TO IGNORE JUNE IS NATIONAL MEN’S HEALTH MONTH

‘It’s nothing.” That’s the classic retort you hear when you suggest that the man in your life see a doctor for symptoms he’s having. But it could be something—something which could endanger his health and interfere with his quality of life. Minor complaints needn’t worsen, especially since many of the latest treatments at Memorial Hermann can be minimally or even noninvasive. So, here’s how to get him to see a physician for some common health complaints. FATIGUE, HEAVY SNORING Symptoms: He gasps, chokes or even stops breathing while dozing. Likely culprit: He may have obstructive sleep apnea, in which excess throat tissue blocks the airway, says Fernando Gomez-Rivera, MD, an assistant professor of surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston and ENT (otolaryngology) surgeon affiliated with Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital. Sleep apnea deprives him of oxygen and may raise his risk of arrhythmias and difficulty to control blood pressure. It also doubles his risk of stroke or heart attacks. Treatment options: “For sleep apnea, a Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) mask is the gold standard, but unfortunately there are a lot of issues with adherence to therapy and effectiveness due to multiple factors, frequently people find it uncomfortable and don’t use it,” Dr. Gomez-Rivera says. Dental devices or surgery can move the jaw or tongue forward to open the airway. Surgery can improve throat opening while sleeping and/or address nasal obstruction. As with many conditions, weight loss can make a big difference, in this case because that puts less pressure on the throat. Your doctor may recommend physical activity, healthy eating and portion control,

with a weight-loss specialist’s support. Adults with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and a body mass index (BMI) less than 35 may be eligible for Inspire, a device that’s like a pacemaker for the throat. During outpatient surgery, the doctor implants an Oreo®-sized battery in the upper chest. Turned on with a remote, Inspire sends a gentle electrical pulse to a nerve beneath the tongue with each breath. “That causes the tongue to stiffen and move forward,” Dr. Gomez-Rivera says. HEARTBURN Symptoms: He feels burning or pain in his chest after meals or at night, or is hoarse, or has a sour taste or trouble swallowing. Likely culprit: He may suffer from reflux, the upward surge of acid from the stomach via the esophagus to the throat, says Zeinab Alawadi, MD, general surgeon with Memorial Hermann Medical Group. Habitual heartburn may be gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which erodes and inflames the esophageal lining and can lead to Barrett’s esophagus, a condition which boosts cancer risk, Dr. Alawadi says. “White men over 50—especially those with round bellies and who smoke or drink—are more vulnerable.” This could also be related to an anatomical defect where the valve mechanism between the stomach and the esophagus is too loose. It is also known as Hiatal Hernia (HH). Treatment options: If over-the-counter antacids don’t correct the symptoms, he may be prescribed acid-suppressing drugs called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs). He’ll also be discouraged from having heavy evening meals. If those measures don’t work, an upper endoscopy is performed which sends a narrow tube with a camera to the stomach and upper intestines to rule out ulcers or inflammation. “The gastroenterologist also can send down tools through the endoscope to seal bleeding vessels and do biopsies,” Dr. Alawadi says.

If he is over 50 or with alarming signs such as unintentional weight loss, the physician may do an endoscopy before prescribing medication. To confirm GERD, the doctor can do another procedure, in which a tiny acid- or pH-measuring probe (Bravo capsule) is attached to the lower esophagus. It comes with a monitor with buttons the patient presses when symptomatic. Bravo stays attached for 4 days, then passes through the digestive tract. Reflux can be cut down by losing weight and stopping smoking and drinking. Positional changes such as raising the head of bed also helps. If significant anatomical defect of HH is identified on endoscopy, he may need surgery to repair the valve (or sphincter). The operation, fundoplication, strengthens the flap by wrapping the top of the stomach around the lower esophagus. FREQUENT BATHROOM BREAKS Symptoms: He urinates urgently, slowly and with difficulty. Likely culprit: An enlarged prostate (benign prostate hyperplasia) can press upward on the bladder or curb urine flow by impeding the urinary tract as it moves through the prostate, says Gavin Wagenheim, MD, urologist with Memorial Hermann Medical Group Urology Associates. “Eventually the obstruction may lead to bladder dysfunction, inability to urinate and urinary tract infections. It also can progress to kidney (renal) failure,” Dr. Wagenheim says. Treatment options: Medications can shrink the gland or relax the prostatic tissue, making it easier to urinate. Urologists can perform minimally invasive procedures to ease the flow, Dr. Wagenheim says. The UroLift procedure inserts tiny implants to separate prostate lobes, which lessens pressure on the urethra. Some treatments must be performed in the hospital.

Treatment options: According to Dr. Trahan, it’s important to increase physical activity to keep the weight off and improve heart and lung health, but making changes to your diet is the key to losing weight. For eligible candidates, bariatric surgery can lead to faster and perpetual weight loss. The minimally invasive surgery resolves not just obesity, but also many of the above issues. Yet only 1 percent of those eligible get the operation. “And of those, just one of five are men,” Dr. Trahan says, “even though they need it as much as women do.” According to Dr. Trahan, gastric bypass creates a thumb-sized pouch from the top of the stomach and connects it to the small intestine. Gastric sleeve, also called sleeve gastrectomy, cuts down your stomach by 70 percent until it’s the size of a banana “People can eat very little, yet they feel full,” he says. “Once men lose the weight, their quality of life is so much better.” MAINTENANCE Why it’s needed: His body is more complex than

Aqua ablation uses a computer and high-pressured water, to destroy excess tissue while transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) uses heated electrodes or a laser to take out the central part of the prostate. Surgeons also can cut through the abdomen to do a simple prostatectomy, in which they remove the interior tissue of super-sized glands. LARGE WAISTLINE Symptoms: He snores loudly, urinates often and has heartburn. Likely culprit: Obesity. His organs are surrounded by visceral fat and crammed into his tummy—and that’s bad news. “Obesity is a major killer because it’s linked to diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and other grave diseases,” says Michael Trahan, MD, an assistant professor of surgery at McGovern Medical School and bariatric surgeon affiliated with Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital. “While women tend to be more proactive with their health, men don’t address their weight till their pain and medical problems are unbearable.”

his car, but just like it, he needs regular checkups and maintenance. Providing those is his primary care physician (PCP), says Rupali Kadakia, MD, a primary care physician with Memorial Hermann Medical Group. “You know if you don’t change the oil in your car, swap out the air filters or rotate the tires on a regular basis, you’re asking for a hefty repair bill, when your car breaks down,” she said. “The same is true with our bodies. If we wait until they start showing signs of a problem, we’re looking at a more serious problem than we would’ve had we kept up with regular checkups.” Treatment options: He should have an annual physical at least yearly to measure blood pressure, height and weight, cholesterol, blood sugar and other key body metrics. His doctor may urge other tests or health screenings, based on his family or personal health history. It’s never too late to rev up for better health. Regular tune-ups will spare him from major mishaps down the road. “We can certainly treat you when you are sick, but our bigger goal is to prevent disease in the first place,” says Dr. Kadakia.
