Flack? Flacker? Flactress? Views are my own.

[The Ohio Manufacturers' Association @OHIOMFG]

AEP keeps warning Ohio about speculative future demand while asking customers to absorb more utility risk. Now it’s floating HQ uncertainty while upgrading its downtown tower. That’s not a crisis. That’s leverage. Ohio policymakers should call the bluff and demand proof before customers pay a dime.

“We’re allowing the cost of drugs and the cost of medications to be prohibitive for a lot of people, and that’s very sad,” @Julieaturner said in an interview. “I want everyone to have the same opportunities for life after cancer, as I’ve had.” @SarahEDon https://t.co/zz4YuTNOPD

.@Julieaturner, cancer survivor, is now asking state lawmakers to take action and help lower medical bills because the rising costs of health care can be a matter of life or death for cancer patients. She’s advocating for Senate Bill 207. @SpectrumNews1OH https://t.co/MKuyksG572

#OhioSB207 would stop health insurers from diverting copay assistance and protect patients from crushing out-of-pocket costs. @OhioSenateGOP and @OhioSenateDems need to follow the lead of 26 states that nearly unanimously acted to ban #copayaccumulators and make #allcopayscount! https://t.co/EtPAwuBV7H

NEW: Insurance giants are hiding billions meant to lower Americans’ drug costs.

Our year-long investigation details how CVS, UnitedHealth, and Cigna created shell companies to evade reform efforts and hide payments received from drugmakers.

"By categorizing as fees, not rebates, and laundering through the GPOs, they don’t have to pass through the rebates, they’re somehow carving it out."

For years, insurers’ copay #accumulator programs have blocked patients from using manufacturer assistance. A new study finds that state bans on accumulators work:

➡️ Patient purchases: +40%
💵 Out-of-pocket costs: –18%
🏥 Insurer spending: +16%

Patients won with better affordability and greater adherence.

Unfortunately, insurers responded by limiting access to specialty medicines for patients with rare, chronic, or severe conditions. There is no free lunch.

The only financial questions in healthcare are
1. What does it cost
2. How do you pay for it

For most people in this country, employers, taxpayers and patients absorb the risk of payment.

Insurance companies rarely take risk. It's time to ask why we use them at all ?

If you need money for college, a house, a small business loan, and more, taxpayers will give or guarantee a loan.

If you are in a horrific accident and can't pay your deductible or OOP, we ignore you

There are ways to solve this problem. But they start with realizing in 2025, insurance isn't the solution. It's the problem.

They know you can't pay your deductibles, but they take your premiums. Let that sink in

I always knew AARP was tight with UnitedHealthcare, but I really didn’t realize how foundational it was to their business model.

Thank you, @SusanManchester and @Liston4Ohio, for leading the charge on #OhioSB207 to protect patients’ access to affordable care. Ohio families deserve fairness in healthcare coverage. #AllCopaysCount

Sen. Louis Blessing:
Patients shouldn’t lose access to critical medications. We urge @LBlessing308 to put Ohio families first and support #OhioSB207. #AllCopaysCount

Sen. Nathan Manning:
Ohio families need fairness in healthcare coverage. Please support #OhioSB207, @Manning_Nathan, to ensure patients can access the treatments they need. #AllCopaysCount #spondylitis

[Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich]

Steve Forbes is exactly right. Reforming the health care system and making health care affordable could be a "80/20" winning issue for Republicans. This is a must-read. https://t.co/7UA5dqexzz

Buddy, the bill is a great start. But if you don’t divorce formularies from the Pbm or affiliates, they will just find another way beyond rebates to auction off formulary positioning.

It makes zero sense to have PBMs control what meds are available to any population.

There are plenty of better ways to get healthier outcomes. At a far lower cost.

A glimpse into the topping off.

The 210,000-square-foot facility set to open in 2027, designed by Populous and located on the Cuyahoga River, will be one of the world’s largest and most advanced sports training and performance centers.

In keeping with construction tradition, the final 66-foot beam—signed by team executives, project team members and community stakeholders—was lifted into place, adorned with an American flag and evergreen tree symbolizing strength and longevity.
