Great to see so many orgs and businesses supporting this push for drug pricing reform. We're proud to be part of this initiative. Patients For Affordable Drugs patientsforaffordabledrugsnow.org/2022/02/07/ove…

BBB isn't dead yet and drug pricing reform needs to be included in the final proposal - lives are quite literally at stake. Senator Dick Durbin Tammy Duckworth I know you're on board, lets get this across the finish line #RxForAHealthierAmerica, #BuildBackBetterAct

Things they don’t teach you how to treat in medical school: ➡️Patients not being able to afford their meds, their insurance or their hearing aids #BuildBackBetter caps insulin prices, expands ACA tax credits and adds hearing aid coverage. Let’s get it done. #SOTU

I don’t like paying higher gas prices either but it’s incredible that people will buy GOP outrage on gas that’s $5 instead of $3.50—but then excuse GOP for keeping the min wage at $7.25 instead of $15, insulin at $1200 instead of $35, & paid leave at 0 weeks instead of 12 weeks.

How much trouble is Section 2 of the VRA in? A conservative WI Supreme Court justice cast a deciding vote to enact a plan w/ an additional Black majority legislative seat. On a long shot appeal, SCOTUS used shadow docket to rule it an improper use of race. Uncharted territory.

Kudos to @RCNconnects for making things right. Not something many companies would do these days, much appreciated! #ThanksJackiefromRCN

Yesterday, South Dakotans overwhelmingly voted to expand Medicaid - an important step forward for making health care more accessible. Our statement below. #MedicaidExpansion

Late to the party but just so resonant that couldn't let the amplification fade. Profits over patients is the mantra of our healthcare system, and it's crushing both patients and doctors who serve them. We can't settle for this broken system any longer jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

regulations.gov/docket/FTC-202… Friendly plea to write in a comment for the proposed federal rule banning non-compete's. Because a 2 year, 5 mile radius ban that forces you to leave the city if your current job doesn't work out doesn't exactly seem reasonable.

DFA applauds CMSGov enforcement of the rebate provision of the IRA. Penalizing drugmakers for raising prices faster than inflation helps combat greed in healthcare and improves seniors’ bottom line. CMSGov must continue to prevent drugmakers' from putting profits over patients.
