@camillerrivera @TopherSpiro My mom was just put on bloodthinners. The first prescription included 5 days of double doses. It took 2 weeks for the pharmacy to get approval from her insurance company. The blood clot is in her jugular, so nothing to worry about/s

Abbvie put Humira on TrumpRx even though two biosimilar competitors are already on the site. Humira costs $950 via TrumpRx but the biosimilar competitors start at $207 to $299 via the site and never get to nearly as high a price point as the brand. How does this help patients?

New: Trump's surgeon general nominee has stalled. White House is telling the Senate to move on Casey Means, whose hearing was over a month ago. Will she get a vote? When? "No comment on Casey," says HELP Chair Bill Cassidy. @BerkeleyJr @ariabendix & me nbcnews.com/health/health-…

Reliable sources within HHS and the CDC confirm to NBC News that this is inaccurate.
Robert W Malone, MD@RWMaloneMD

ACIP has been disbanded. The government’s response to the AAP lawsuit and judge Murphey’s injunction is to disband and then recreate a new ACIP committee, as this will take less time than would be required to file and prosecute an appeal. There will be no action from the government to respond to the defamatory characterization of the former ACIP members.

@BerkeleyJr The slight dip in ACA enrollment in 2026 compared to 2025 is modest in historical terms Certainly not a crisis x.com/DeanClancy/sta…
Dean Clancy@DeanClancy

A small dip in ACA enrollment does not a crisis make especially since many who didn't re-enroll in 2026 have other options and may even be nonexistent ht @Comm4Prosperity @AFPhq @AFPGovAffairs @Paragon_Inst @brian_blase @berniemoreno @RepBrianFitz committeetounleashprosperity.com/hotlines/obama…

ACA premiums have officially gone up this month with the tax credits expired. Many people are moving toward low-premium plans with high deductibles and less coverage. Overall sign-ups are down more than 800,000 compared to last year. From @BerkeleyJr: nbcnews.com/health/health-…

My life changed in 2 months. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Was quoted $1000 for insurance. Can't afford. Because of blood clots, Eliquis is $1600. Can't afford. I worked all my life. Lies everyday. We must flip the house and Senate. This regime is deadly. Deadly!

Bronze plans are up about 5% compared to this time last year, said Pat Kelly of Your Health Idaho. Most of that shift — about 4.5 percentage points — is coming from silver plans, and 1 percentage point is coming from gold. “That increase in bronze is a strong indicator of affordability concerns.”
