@NC_Governor NC will pay for Medicaid by having unpaid medical bills and a rise in premiums which is how this works. Don't be fooled

Statement from the Governor's Office on NCGA budget:

@DrugChannels @C_Garthwaite That on top of money involved in politics and raising prices on established drugs to enhance investor portfolios of course. Being exploited by PBMs and going along for the ride to ensure they have a seat at the table doesn't help

@DrugChannels @C_Garthwaite Kind of hard after the opioid crisis and maybe if "bad Apples" were called out by peers there would be a level of understanding. That will tarnish the industry for a while.

Well said, @C_Garthwaite! "If we want cures to diseases like COVID-19, we should stop vilifying #drug companies" drugch.nl/3kc6aNz

@RblmelEdwards @NC_Governor Also suggested injecting bleach as a possible solution to covid. Can't have one without the other

@NC_Governor President Trump suggested this in 2019

Gov. Cooper has proclaimed November as American Indian Heritage Month. We’re grateful for North Carolina’s American Indians and all of the contributions they’ve made to our state.

Combat medics take a pledge to preserve human life – friend and foe. Forty years ago, I made a pledge to preserve life, alleviate suffering and ensure access to emergency medical care. This marks the anniversary when that pledge was first put to the test. The adventure continues!

The gaps in care are so abundantly clear, which is why integrating pharmacists as eligible care providers in Medicaid and Medicare is essential public health policy.

@DanRehrauer @DrugChannels @NPLB_org @SenSaraGelser I guess my mind goes to drugs due to insulin being discussed. It's not an easy button answer to the problem but legislation is slow to catch up to the amount of fraud being conducted. The answer to this may be states follow #Ohio and sue and set up their own #PBM and cut the rest

Good update on state laws for #copay #accumulators via @NPLB_org Best quote comes from @SenSaraGelser : "It's just another form of surprise billing." drugch.nl/3xcJUqC

@jcubanski @larry_levitt Little sad the members of the advisory committee at the FDA have resigned since most members voted against the approval due to lack of confidence in the drug. Yay @US_FDA

It is not hyperbole to say that this new #Alzheimer's drug could be a real budget-buster for Medicare. But in case there is any question about it, spending on Aduhelm will have no effect on Medicare trust fund solvency, since the drug is covered under Part B, not Part A.

@CathyHackl @60Minutes @LaurieSegall Great work!

@RxRadioFM I prefer blades

In a parallel universe, pharmacy teams are on roller blades moving around with supreme efficiency 🛼

@DrugChannels Biggest issue to date is that schools do not teach the business of pharmacy They are in the business of making pharmacists. Degree equals revenue. We need to hold schools accountable to teach the future of the profession vs standards they are accountable for only. #insidereport

@NikkiFried Let's make a state PBM so our state can stop losing money to large corporations who take advantage of patients and create there own pricing of drugs while exploiting manufacturers at the same time. That would be huge @pharmacists @DrugChannels

The system is rigged in Florida. We’re going to break it with #SomethingNew.

@larry_levitt Best churros? go!

I hope they're going for churros con chocolate nearby at El Moro afterwards.

@dariusrucker random but wife and I just wanna go fishing in NC and drink a cold one with you. Any chances? You rock!

@GregAbbott_TX Or you can invest in hydroponic agriculture and actually solve the bigger issue of water and production. People can make their own decisions

Not gonna happen in Texas!

@alexanderterry @A_Ciaccia Let’s start with controlling insurance companies and incentivizing care. Next let’s focus on setting Medicare pricing standards on drugs.

@A_Ciaccia @disruptivepharm The only way to solve American healthcare is the requisitioning and nationalizing of all private hospitals and healthcare providers. Publicly owned and publicly operated healthcare, free at the point of use. Fully funded, transparent and accountable to local communities.

Great to join @disruptivepharm for a discussion on our broken drug pricing system youtu.be/WaJK8GC7taQ

@drjohnwhyte Does it make sense that most health professionals don’t get taught about intracellular micronutrient testing which identify these lots nutrients on a greater scale than the normal extracellular tests? We need to overhaul education in health programs to prevent not treat symptoms

Does it make sense that we eat lots of refined grains -taking out all the healthy nutrients?!!
