Thanks Joe! Lilly to cut insulin prices by 70%, cap prices at $35 per month.

Drugmaker Eli Lilly & Co. on Tuesday said it will cut prices of its most commonly prescribed insulins by 70% and cap monthly prices at $35 per month at certain retail pharmacies for people who have private insurance.

Lilly said it will list its Lispro injection at $25 a vial effective May 1 and slash the price of its Humalog and Humlin injections by 70% starting in the fourth quarter.

The announcement comes amid growing federal pressure to lower the cost of insulin prices. The Inflation Reduction Act capped insulin prices for Medicare beneficiaries at $35 per month but did not protect people with private insurance or who don’t have coverage from higher prices.

In President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech, he called on Congress to cap insulin prices at $35 a month for everyone. Lilly said at the time that it supports extending the price cap to all Americans.

One of the more amateur email scams I've seen lately.

Imagine that! Out of hundreds of millions of people, I'm one of only five people chosen to receive two million dollars!
Too good to be true? You bet.
This is the email I was sent. I wonder what the catch is?

No statement on injured Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin tonight

This can't be good. If Hamlin's condition was stabilizing or improving, they would issue a statement to that effect.

Derek Carr no longer a Raider

This team needs a new owner, but unfortunately, the owner is the only one who can't be fired. Mark Davis is, and always has been, an incompetent everything. Inherited his daddy's team, and he's run it into the ground.
Derek Carr is the fall guy today, who will it be next week after the 49ers embarrass them at home?

Brady needs to retire

Another embarrassing performance tonight. Tampa Bay isn't the team it was two years ago, but Tom's no longer at the top of his game. Two interceptions so far, and he's missed several easy passes, against the 4-10 Cardinals.
It Tampa does somehow limp its way into the playoffs, it's one and done, and so long Tom.

Too many of the great ones hang on until they embarrass themselves.

Russell Wilson committed the heist of the decade...

He grifted the Denver Broncos into paying him almost a quarter- billion dollars over the next five years with something like 160 million guaranteed money. Plus, Seattle grifted them for their top draft picks the next couple years.

After today's debacle against the very bad Rams, Denver fans are sitting at 4-11 and have to be wondering... WTF?

Demings up by 4 points in challenge to Rubio: poll

Not sure how much I trust this poll, but things appear to be moving in our direction.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/demings-4-points-challenge-rubio-160039983.html

Rep. Val Demings (D) leads Sen. Marco Rubio (R) by 4 percentage points in Florida’s Senate race, according to a poll released Tuesday.

The poll, released by the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab, shows Demings with the support of 48 percent of surveyed registered voters who said they would vote in the midterms.

Rubio, in comparison, received 44 percent support, while 7 percent said they would choose someone else.

Broken down by party, 89 percent of Republican voters supported Rubio, in addition to 36 percent of voters who either had no party affiliation or whose political affiliation was termed “other.” The poll found that Demings was supported by 94 percent of Democratic voters and 46 percent of voters with no party affiliation.

Florida’s Senate race is considered one of the most competitive this November and has been rated as “lean Republican” by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
