As an example of these dynamics, if the administration is concerned about the perception that these deals are unlikely to be meaningful, I don't know if it is helpful to center at the press conference the price reduction for brand-name Plavix, a drug which has had generic competition since 2012.

3) If you are donating items, please inspect them to be sure the packaging is fully intact. 4) Please check expiration dates. All food items have a "use by" date on the box/can. Writing the expiration date (MM/YY) on the box with a sharpie helps (I need to check every item). Thanks.

As a food bank volunteer , some tips on how to be most helpful during this challenging time (personal views only): 1) If you can, avoid calling or emailing. Food banks are overwhelmed and are often staffed by volunteers. Most have websites with FAQs. 2) Prioritize $ donations when feasible.

Medicaid is under attack, despite its importance in helping many of the most vulnerable Americans in some of their hardest times trying to make their lives better by @mirandayaver.bsky.social @medpagetoday.com www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...
The Safety Net Is There for a Reason
It is hardly uncommon in certain political circles to hear that people ought to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and learn to thrive through their very own Horatio Alger story. But what's too often left out is that the American safety net - namely, Medicaid, CHIP, SSI, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- are the boots. And in this fallout from historic
funding cuts, millions of Americans will now find themselves in even more precarious positions with respect to both their health and economic security.
