In what will certainly be remembered as a landmark decision, the Supreme Court's conservative majority this week overruled a 40-year-old legal precedent that required judges in most cases to yield to the expertise of federal agencies.

Julie Rovner is chief Washington correspondent and host of KFF Health News' weekly health policy news podcast, "What the Health?" A noted expert on health policy issues, Julie is the author of the critically praised reference book " Health Care Politics and Policy A to Z," now in its third edition.

The Supreme Court also this week decided not to decide a case out of Idaho that centered on whether a federal health law that requires hospitals to provide emergency care overrides the state's near-total ban on abortion. Julie Rovner: The Washington Post's "Masks Are Going From Mandated to Criminalized in Some States," by Fenit Nirappil.
