Worked on many a front page story with Amy. Always tough. Professional. Funny. Mostly(!) fair. Biggest takeaway…to this day I use her phrase “that is a true fact” as my own at least a couple of times a month. Thanks Amy!

Watershed or watered-down? Dems’ drug-price deal contains breakthroughs but leaves many feeling unsatisfied. (And Congress’ next crack at this is probably now years away.)

In August, Biden sat in the Oval Office and vowed to let Medicare negotiate drug prices.
“It’s long past time we changed that,” Biden pledged.
But the framework he unveiled yesterday won’t.
