This could save lives...can't believe this was a thing in the first place!

This is an interesting development...not sure how insurance (ACA and Medicare) will treat this on their drug formularies yet but we'll see!

Drugmaker Novo Nordisk said the prescription medicine can be found at a range of pharmacies, including CVS and Costco, as well as some telehealth providers.

I've been saying this all along: Obamacare?ACA was designed to fail. Fail and trigger a "crisis" in healthcare. And as Obama's former chief of staff/Chicago political gangster Rahm Emmanuel famously said "never let a crisis go to waste". The goal was always single payer, government healthcare. If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it's "free". Do you want your pediatrician, your oncologist, your orthopedic surgeon to function like the VA or the tribal healthcare systems? That's what YOU'RE going to get, and the DC crowd will have their own gilded carveout, as usual.

When the subsidies fade, Obamacare’s reality comes into focus.

Today's tax credit update:

Interesting that there is no discussion when talking about deadlines and how there's no time when we had a government shutdown for 43 days. 43 days where a compromise could have been possible if the party who wrote & passed the Affordable Care Act AND the American Rescue Plan responsible for both the expanded tax credits and their expiration had a tantrum over health care benefits for illegals in blue states.

It's an unceremonious end to a monthslong effort by Democrats to prevent the COVID-19-era subsidies from expiring on Jan. 1

The current state of negotiations regarding the ACA:

Senator John Kennedy said Republicans should move forward on health care reform through reconciliation, arguing that Democrats prefer to keep the system
