“My message to you Christians throughout the world today is to fear not in spite of the world crisis. Keep occupied until He comes … Keep studying, keep praying, and above all, keep living the Christian life.” —@BillyGraham
Today, President @realDonaldTrump spoke to our troops at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. What an encouragement to the men and women serving on the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East! He just doesn’t stop—I’ve never seen anyone with so much energy. He is making deals, negotiating peace and security, building relationships, projecting strength, and waving the American flag unapologetically with every step and every stop on this trip. Pray for President Trump to have God’s favor and wisdom as he meets with leaders in this region. Pray for his health and strength—this kind of schedule is grueling. And may God bless and help America as we call on Him.
Gotta be honest. The @realDonaldTrump EO on healthcare and in particular, drug pricing could save hundreds of billions.
Here is how:
1. Divorce formularies from PBMs. Require them to come from independent organizations with no economic incentive from the formulary
Make them about wellness, not pay for play like a grocery store endcap. This ends rebates and allows for net pricing. It also allows for better care and wellness.
2. Require PBMs to provide ALL claims data to employers, states and manufacturers. The manufacturers need this to provide better results. It’s insane they don’t have this data to analyze and improve patient results.
Plus they current pay 5 to 10 pct of the retail price to get that data so they can do just that. Make it so it’s required and they can save 10pct of RETAIL pricing , which they can use to lower pricing.
This also stops the 340b double dipping problem.
3. Remove the specialty tier and the requirement to buy from any specified pharmacy. There is nothing special about specialty drugs. They call them special to jack up the price. And of course have them divest any that they do.
4. Require that all pharmacies get fully reimbursed for brand drugs and get rid of the Generic Cost Ratio which allows distributors to jack up pricing on generics with the threat of chargebacks and more.. We need independent pharmacies to thrive
5. Remove confidentiality clauses. They prevent companies from talking to manufacturers. It’s insane that your company can’t talk to a GLP1 manufacturer (as an example) to help you put together a wellness plan and get you a better price
6. Stop biosimilar substitution calls. PBMs know that they need to find new sources of margin. They do it by white labeling their own biosimilar versions. That’s fine.
But because that’s where all the margin is, they will put a low cost biosim on the formulary, and when they get a script for the lower cost option, they will have someone call the prescribing doctor to switch to their more expensive version they make more money on. And because employers and manufacturers don’t get their data. They never know
Put me in coach ! I’m here to help.
Last night, I hardly slept at all. The Lord was speaking to me clearly and vividly. The only words that came to mind were: "The Last Chapter."
Around 5:30 a.m., when I had already given up on sleep and started packing for my flight from Denmark back to Israel, I realized what it was all about.
Our world has come full circle—from the literal Days of Noah to an era reminiscent of those times. This isn’t just about a world detached from God, obsessed with making a name for itself; it also signals the endgame—the imminent, sudden removal of the righteous from the realm of the unrighteous, followed by the severe judgment of the latter. We are living in the final hours of the world as we know it, echoing the last days of Noah.
This is the last chapter!
This is the moment where the story of your life can still change, where you can switch sides to join those who will be removed and thus escape the judgment.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation: that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
(John 3:16-21)

When we study Scripture and see Jesus’ miraculous fulfillment of prophecies made hundreds of years before His birth, we’re faced with a decision. Jesus proved Himself to be the Messiah, the Savior. We can’t treat that like a historical curiosity. We have to make it personal. We have to let it impact our lives. We have to answer deep within our soul the question Jesus asked Peter in Matthew 16: “Who do you say I am?” (NLT).

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)
Elon Musk is taking a lot of heat for leading the efforts to cut waste in our government. He has pushed policies to reduce spending, curb regulations, downsize workforce, and eliminate waste—and for this, he is receiving a lot of hate. “Tesla takedowns” and violence against his brands are making headlines, and he has said that his companies are suffering due to his involvement in helping the Trump administration and trying to make a difference for our nation. He has said that America’s future is something that keeps him up at night. I’m sure that all of the hateful displays we are seeing on the news must be a discouragement. We need to lift @ElonMusk up in prayer. Even though he is a very smart and gifted man, he still needs wisdom from God. Let’s ask God to lead him, protect him, and give him wisdom. No question, there is power in prayer.
If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ and have asked Him to forgive you of your sin, the Bible teaches that when you die, you will go immediately into the presence of God in Heaven. That is God’s promise to you.

Many all-star engineers are taking major pay cuts (sometimes to zero) and suffering from harassment, including death threats, to help the country with @DOGE, because they love America 🇺🇸
