💡MUST WATCH—Mark Cuban explains how Pharmacy Benefit Managers are a bigger monopoly than Amazon, controlling drug access for 270 million Americans while driving prices up. The U.S. is the only country using PBM monopoly. We need to end PBMs. Thx @mcuban
🎉 Huge win! We are thrilled @CAgovernor has signed #SB41(@Scott_Wiener) into law! This imp bill is a big step toward lowering meds costs by regulating the practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) TY to everyone who stood with us to make this happen! https://t.co/y5RabwpJU6
The future of community pharmacies in California depends on patient-centered legislation like #SB41. @CAgovernor, we urge you to protect access to affordable medications for all by signing this bill. https://t.co/NtI3Lru9d0
Yesterday, the EPA requested an extension to its deadline to appeal the federal court’s ruling that the Agency must take regulatory action to address the neurological risks posed by adding fluoride chemicals to water.
EPA’s request came the day after EPA’s announcement that it will be conducting an “expeditious review” of the current science on fluoride’s dangers. The Ninth Circuit quickly granted EPA’s request, and has given the Agency until May 12 to file its appeal.
If EPA is serious about protecting Americans from unsafe drinking water, it will use this extra time to regroup and stand down on its appeal of the court’s order.
Rather than appeal the order, the EPA should do what the court wisely instructed: begin rule-making proceedings to eliminate the unreasonable risk posed by fluoridation chemicals in our water.
It is time for the U.S. to follow Europe’s lead and end its fluoridation program from sea to sea. @FluorideAction@FluorideLawsuit@SecKennedy@epaleezeldin

#340B prescription drug discounts are intended to support vulnerable communities, but many patients - particularly in rural areas - continue to face high out-of-pocket costs and limited access to treatments. #AB1460 is not the solution patients need. #CALeg
Joe Rogan SNAPS on Fluoride Defenders: “Hey Man, F*ck You. This Is Stupid.”
This is the best 3 minutes you’ll watch today.
“There are conclusive studies that show a direct correlation between high levels of fluoride in the local water and lower IQs. And it’s a neurotoxin. We know it’s bad for you in large doses.”
“There are fcking people out there with college degrees who read the New York Times, who think they’re sensible people that will get angry if you want to remove this neurotoxin from water because look at all the strides it’s done in preventing tooth decay. And you just want to say, ‘Hey man, f*ck you. This is stupid.’”
“When you get toothpaste, do you ever see toothpaste that says fluoride-free? Why would they say that and advertise it if fluoride wasn’t bad for you?”
“Just brush your f*cking teeth. It’s really that simple.”
