I know ppl aren’t exactly relying on NPR for accurate info or discerning commentary about “15 lower drugs” (??), but FYI, what this article describes over and over as “discounts“ are not actually discounts, they’re maximum fair prices. :)
Medicare announced 15 lower drugs after a second round of negotiations with pharmaceutical companies. The drugs include Ozempic and also drugs to treat asthma, breast cancer and leukemia. n.pr/44nVToq

decades of degrading government capacity to actually govern has left it open to further degradation through ai hype and perceptions it enables further cost cutting.

allowing prisoners to file compassionate release motions in fed court was a great thing that came of a certain moment in time. as someone who has litigated many of these cases, I’ve seen judges over time try callously to turn an obviously open-ended statute into one that has little effect. it sucks!
Justice Sam Alito was v disturbed yesterday by the mere possibility that judges might be using the federal compassionate release statute to *checks notes* grant incarcerated people's requests for compassionate release

haven’t heard much talk about this, so maybe I have the wrong read, but I think there is a huge risk of Medicaid expansion states ditching the expansion in light of OBBBA and instead finally taking up ACA BHPs and moving people into them. 25K people to be kicked from Medicaid at the new year in DC.
