🔮 But by Sunday evening, there were signs that El-Sayed might get through the Stevens fiasco just fine, or maybe even in a stronger position.
🔮 “We almost went bankrupt in 2011,” Rion told me in a conversation last week, recalling how in the old days staff at Packard would work the phones furiously to get supplies and find specialists who would take referrals.
🔮 But they may have hit a new low last week, with an attack ad that’s all over the internet and television.
🔮 Obama, then a Senate candidate, was giving the primetime keynote address—an ode to hope, unity, and American pluralism that would go on to launch his career in national politics.
🔮 El-Sayed explains why he believes Obama made it possible for people like him to run for office, where he thinks Obama fell short on health care and other issues, and why Democrats need to stop assuming Republicans will negotiate in good faith.
🔮 That’s why Democrats are talking about next steps for finally getting to truly universal coverage—which, in turn, has restarted old arguments about whether to seek a total health care sector reset with Medicare for All or to seek more incremental changes, some of which would still be highly ambitious and some of which would not.
🔮 Zacharia was referring to news over the summer that drug prices had fallen by 3.1 percent over the previous year, the largest decline in six decades—and asserting that Trump had caused this by negotiating deals with individual pharmaceutical companies and then creating a website, TrumpRx, where people buying drugs could get coupons to buy some of their products.
🔮 Mount Pleasant, Michigan
A NEW CAMPAIGN AD FROM MIKE ROGERS says a lot about the kind of senator he would be for Michigan.
🔮 “I am proud to return your money to you,” the letter states, “and I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare.”
🔮 “It would be malpractice for a doctor to make a diagnosis, or to make a prescription, without at least checking AI,” Kennedy said at a MAHA Action conference in Washington.1
MAHA, of course, stands for “Make America Healthy Again,” the movement that Kennedy has been leading, which is known for its hostility to all things artificial.
