@TheDemocrats What are you going to do about it? No more angry statements. We need a direction. We need action.

[Abram Bieliauskas @AbeBiel]

@GovPritzker But what are you going to DO about it? Angry statements aren’t enough

[Abram Bieliauskas @AbeBiel]

@mkraju Schumer is part of the problem. He’s one of the elites that has time and again enabled the Party’s descent away from class to identity politics. The Party needs new leadership. Obamas, Clintons, Schumer, Pelosi and Jeffries need to step aside and let the people take it from here.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.

@CollinRugg @votefloridaman It did happen here, on Jan 6

My specialist: what we’re realizing is that people have GLP-1 disorders but we’ve called it obesity and treated it by saying “just eat better and exercise” when we actually need to treat the disorder.

Despite what big hospitals and chain pharmacies will tell you, the 340B program grew dramatically in 2022 to nearly $54B — up 22% from 2021, reports @DrugChannels: https://t.co/EDbDaMuOGw

Onward to an #ALS cure!

[The ALS Association @alsassociation]

(1/2) Another victory for the ALS community! Tofersen is the second treatment approved for ALS in less than a year and the third since 2017. This gene-based therapy is approved for treating people living with SOD1-ALS. Thanks to the entire community for your advocacy!

STAT+: An unlikely new 340B alliance emerges between PhRMA and community health centers https://t.co/LvVowDYAxU

[PhRMA @PhRMA]

Over three decades, the #340B program has veered off course as some hospitals & for-profit corporations like pharmacies & PBMs have used it to increase revenue. ICYMI the @WSJ and @NYTimes recently provided vivid and alarming examples of this abuse: https://t.co/obUFO1zYTn

[Adam J. Fein @DrugChannels]

Hooray! @PhRMA, @NACHC, et al launch Alliance to Save America’s 340B Program @ASAP340B to modernize/fix #340B. 👏👏👏

Solid 10-point plan ==> https://t.co/RfD26CTtgd

Triggered by #hospitals' #340B program abuses & ongoing denial of reality. @340BHealth lobbying has been awful.

[Abram Bieliauskas @AbeBiel]

The #340B program must be reformed to ensure its focus on the needs of patients, sustainability in the long term, & transparency. Reforms are needed to modernize 340B to adapt to market changes like hospital consolidation & ensure patients directly benefit as Congress intended.

[Alliance to Save America's 340B Program @ASAP340B]

Read our press release introducing #ASAP340B, an historic alliance of Community Health Centers, patient, provider and consumer advocates, and biopharmaceutical leaders, who share the goal of modernizing the #340B program. https://t.co/T6R2u6t4Up

@crouchkells I’m scurred

[Abram Bieliauskas @AbeBiel]

A great #SOTU by President Biden!

BUT the Inflation Reduction Act is not all climate action & savings for patients. IRA’s drug pricing provisions jeopardize innovation w/ the potential to save lives & lower system costs by shifting care from acute to preventative/ chronic mgmt

[Abram Bieliauskas @AbeBiel]

@crouchkells Yay neolib robots 🇺🇸

[Abram Bieliauskas @AbeBiel]

@official_jlc Lmao 😂 older to make this worse. But I’m throwing away my Aldo’s now

Breaking news: Monogamous gay and bisexual men will be allowed to donate blood under planned FDA guidance, easing decades-long restrictions. New rules will focus on sexual behaviors, regardless of gender, that pose a higher risk of transmitting HIV.

@healthcareandy I would be curious to know how/ where 1 and 2 came from? Are these assumptions or is there data behind those claims?

[Abram Bieliauskas @AbeBiel]

@crouchkells Are you conflicted or relieved?
