Aw man. Bruce was a really great guy. As an avid follower of Boston sports, his media blog was a must read for me back in the day. When I started out in my career, I reached out to him for advice a few times and he was happy to respond. RIP.

A law restricting PBMs will pass Congress this year, says Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.). And he predicts his bill (delinking, spread pricing, transparency) will be part of a healthcare package in December. And yes, he remembers what Elon Musk did to the previous December healthcare package.

Pro tip: The Biden administration is proposing to cover drugs for obesity in Medicare and Medicaid, not for weight loss generally. That's an important distinction medically, and also legally, since Medicare is prohibited from covering drugs for weight loss.

Hard to say if this will stick at all. Kennedy is anti-Ozempic, Dr. Oz is pro-Ozempic...will either definitely be confirmed? www.modernhealthcare.com/policy/biden...

I hope they surveyed a lot of 12 year olds for this because otherwise there is no hope for Gen Z. www.axios.com/2024/11/22/b...

Boomers say it takes $100k a year to be financially successful, Gen Z says it takes $600k
But Gen Z workers want a lot more than that to feel comfortable.

Huh. Apparently animal rights could be a problem for Kennedy's Health Secretary nomination. Thom Tills tells me "it'll be interesting to see if it becomes bigger.. I've heard some resistance from the ag community. I think some of his positions on animal rights are.. [he didn't say what]"
