CVS Boosts Access To EpiPen Rival That’s 83% Less
by Tammy on January 12, 2017Excellent news, good for CVS. Via Huffington Post. Families who rely on an epinephrine auto-injector to prevent life-threatening allergic reactions now have a more cost-effective option. CVS, the national pharmacy chain, will begin widely stocking the authorized generic version of Adrenaclick, an auto-injector that dispenses epinephrine. The package of two pens costs $109.99. That’s significantly cheaper than the controversial EpiPen, which now costs $649.99 for a two-pack and $339.99 for a generic version of the EpiPen two-pack. People who qualify can get the CVS auto-injector price reduced even further if they use a coupon from Impax Laboratories (the creator of Adrenaclick), which offers a $100 discount per pack for up to three packs.

Obama on Skyrocketing ObamaCare Premiums: ‘I Had Nothing to Do With That!’
by Shifra on October 20, 2016Obama complains that reporters are spending too much time talking about the rate hikes. But Donald Trump is the “whiner” ? Got it… Via Breitbart. President Barack Obama offers multiple excuses for why health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket, including blaming Republicans and insurance companies for the problems. He complains that too many reporters spend more time discussing premium increases than explaining why he isn’t responsible for them. “No, I had nothing to do with that,” Obama said, calling it “complicated” despite the “hysteria” that was growing. Obama traveled to Florida to argue that Obamacare was working well, but needed to be fixed. During his speech, he pointed out that when smart phone companies released a product that had bugs...

Under Hillary, Americans Would Lose All Healthcare Freedom
by Shifra on October 19, 2016For everyone who is very offended by Trump’s crude remarks from eleven years ago: A vote for Hillary is a vote for Obamacare to morph into single-payer, government-run “healthcare.” Do you really want to be put on a government-controlled waiting list for a medical procedure that may save your life? In this WSJ piece, former Texas Sen. Phil Gramm describes how a Hillary presidency would strip Americans of all healthcare freedom, forever. ….In 1993, while first lady, Mrs. Clinton led a task force to deliver universal health care to the voters who elected her husband. She failed. After many revisions, the final bill stalled in the Senate for lack of Democratic votes. HillaryCare was a comprehensive plan for the government...

Obama’s DEA Wants to Look at Your Prescription Drug Records Without a Warrant
by Tammy on June 11, 2016Of course they do. And with the advent of ObamaCare, it’s natural the federal government aparatchiks feel they have every right to snoop into our medical records because, well, they’re our boss now. Via Daily Beast, thru Boing Boing. “I got a call at work from the police chief, who I know and work with,” Jones testified before a state senate committee last year. “He said ‘We think you have a problem, you’re taking too many medications. We need to make sure you’re no longer a threat to the community or yourself. So we’re doing this to help you.’” Jones described in tearful detail what happened next. “There were three police officers pounding on the door. They said they had...

White House Silent On Where the Zika Money Went
by Tammy on June 5, 2016Really, let’s just admit it: Our government is being run by grifters. Via Washington Examiner. The White House doesn’t seem to know how much money it has on hand to battle the growing threat of the mosquito-transmitted Zika virus, even as it continues to demand $1.9 billion in new spending. The Obama administration in April shifted about $590 million from a fund aimed at controlling the Ebola virus, to combat the new Zika threat. But administration officials have been unable to answer how much of that money is left. The White House, the Centers for Disease Control and the Office of Management and Budget were all unable to provide an exact number or even an estimate, despite repeated requests. Not...

Eleven Measles Cases in Arizona Traced to Inmate at Immigrant Detention Center
by Tammy on May 31, 2016Obama, of course, sees bringing in diseases and viruses from the third world as a good thing, as it hastens his mission to make all nations “equal.” Believe me, this is how the left thinks. Next? The sand fly parasitic disease from Syria! And who’s paying for the measles and healthcare treatment of the detained illegal aliens? We are. Looks like the only people actually getting complete and timely healthcare in this country are illegals. Via CNS News. An outbreak of measles that began with an inmate at a federal detention center for immigrants in central Arizona has now grown to 11 confirmed cases, officials said Monday. Seven of those infected are inmates at the Eloy Detention Center, and four...

Highly Contagious Dog Flu Flares Up Again
by Tammy on March 25, 2016Heads up all dog caretakers! Via CBS. Several animal shelters across Chicago say they’re seeing a resurgence of the highly contagious canine flu that hit the city last year.

Tel Aviv Scientists Invent Bionic Heart Patch
by Shifra on March 16, 2016This is great news. But for anyone pushing the BDS (Boycott Divest Sanction Israel) Movement: No heart for you! Via Times of Israel: Tel Aviv University unveiled a remote-controlled, bionic heart patch, which researchers say could become a revolutionary alternative to heart transplants for patients whose hearts have been damaged by heart attacks or cardiac disease. The patch expands and contracts like a human heart, but regulates itself like a machine and can be paced and programmed to release drugs from afar. “It’s very science fiction, but it’s already here, and we expect it to move cardiac research forward in a big way,” said Prof. Tal Dvir, who pioneered the invention…. Until now, we could only engineer organic cardiac tissue,...

Hillary To Woman Complaining About Rising Health Insurance Cost: Keep Shopping!
by Shifra on March 14, 2016Hillary wants to make it her “mission” to “lower” health care costs. Can anyone say “Single-Payer” ?? Via Free Beacon: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton struggled to answer a question at Sunday night’s town hall about the rising costs of health care after the passage of Obamacare, telling a woman to keep shopping around. Teresa O’Donnell, an office manager in Ohio, told Clinton about how her monthly costs for health care insurance for her family of four went from $490 to $1,081 a month. “I know Obama told us that we’d be paying a little more. But doubling, over doubling, my health insurance cost has not been ‘a little more.’ It has been difficult to come up with that kind...

Researchers Find a Way to Use Skin Cells To Kill a Brain Cancer
by Tammy on February 24, 2016Something new and amazing almost every day! Just 30 percent of patients with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, survive past two years because even if a surgeon removes the tumor, it is nearly impossible to get the invasive tendrils that spread into the brain and allow the tumor to grow back. Researchers at the University of North Carolina have pioneered a technique of turning skin cells into cancer-hunting stem cells that, in mice, found and killed remnant brain tumor cells. Glioblastomas are aggressive, fast-growing tumors that form astrocytes, cells that make up the supportive tissue of the brain. Astrocytes reproduce quickly, and are supported by a large network of blood vessels, which is why the relatively rare cancer can...

Staff On UK Socialized National Health Service To Receive *Private* Health Insurance
by Shifra on January 17, 2016Hypocrisy, anyone? Via Breitbart: A group of staff on Britain’s socialized National Health Service (NHS), originally hired by an agency set up to help “reduce health inequalities”, are having private health insurance given to them courtesy of the taxpayer…. The Health Development Agency was set up in 2000 to “develop the evidence base to improve health and reduce health inequalities”. NICE, an agency that frequently rejects potentially life-changing drugs for use by the general public because they would cost too much, paid out £3,091.49 last year for insurance for 19 members of staff, according to a Freedom of Information (FoI) requestobtained by the Times. Roger Goss, the co-director of Patient Concern…: “Why should we take any notice of Nice’s vast...

Jonathan ‘Stupid Americans’ Gruber Fired From Mass. Health Connector Board
by Shifra on February 26, 2015Things are not going well for MIT economist Jonathan Gruber. Earlier this week, officials began investigating Gruber’s “problematic billing” of his work on behalf of Vermont. Via Burlington Free Press: Gruber billing referred to Vermont attorney general …Gruber submitted two consecutive invoices in September and October claiming the exact same figures — 100 hours for Gruber at $500 per hour, and 500 hours for his research assistants at $100 per hour. Only one research assistant worked on the project, according to the auditor’s report. “The evidence suggests that Dr. Gruber overstated the hours worked by the RA and that the Agency of Administration ignored the obvious signs that something was amiss,” Hoffer wrote…. The auditor believes Gruber assumed that he...

Liberal Harvard Faculty *Loved* Obamacare…Until It Hit Them In Their Wallets
by Shifra on January 6, 2015Well, well. Look who’s stupid now. Via New York Times: Harvard Ideas on Health Care Hit Home, Hard For years, Harvard’s experts on health economics and policy have advised presidents and Congress on how to provide health benefits to the nation at a reasonable cost. But those remedies will now be applied to the Harvard faculty, and the professors are in an uproar. Members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the heart of the 378-year-old university, voted overwhelmingly in November to oppose changes that would require them and thousands of other Harvard employees to pay more for health care. The university says the increases are in part a result of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act, which many Harvard...

Angry Dad’s Letter to Jonathan Gruber: “You Arrogant B*****D!”
by Shifra on December 11, 2014“Angry Dad” also calls Gruber “a smarmy SOB.” Well said, “Angry Dad,” well said! Via American Thinker: C. Edmund Wright — An Angry Dad’s Reaction to Dr. Gruber If you know what’s good for you Jonathon Gruber, you’ll stay the hell away from me. Why? Because you have done the unpardonable in the eyes of any father – you have brought havoc unto the finances of my youngest daughter – and her newlywed husband. You see, Dr. Gruber, what you did not only harmed millions of Americans – many of them young – you did so based on arrogance. This is you on all of those videos – glibly counting your fellow citizens as fodder for your tortured contrivances that...
