Remember when Lina Khan blocked the Kroger/Albertsons merger, which would've sent grocery prices skyrocketing?
Trump’s new FTC pick vowed to end the “war on mergers.”
And wouldn’t you know it, Trump is now walking back his promise to lower grocery prices.
Funny how that works.

The Medicare Advantage program is a stealth attempt to privatize Medicare and enrich the private insurance industry at the expense of seniors.
Multimillionaire CMS nominee Mehmet Oz, who owns stock in private insurers, is one of the biggest proponents of this scheme.

MA companies - private insurers contracted to provide healthcare for Medicare enrollees - are chasing veterans, even offering cash rebates, bc they make billions per year in profit off the federal government (taxpayers!)

Had a bad day at work so I got Taco Bell on the way home despite being in a “we have food at home!!!” budget period of my life. Got home and my order was wrong. I love it when the universe makes sure I regret not sticking to my plans. 🧘♀️

I truly think GLP-1 agonists are the most impactful drug development in recent history due to their ability to prevent/reverse chronic disease. This includes the well known benefits but also slowing progression of CKD, decreasing M&M in CHF, etc.
I don’t want to quote dunk on that person, but GLP-1ra drugs are so effective that the FDA is literally allowing compounding pharmacies to defy patent law because so many people can benefit from them and can’t get them due to low supply
