¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trump administration has just released its plan to give discounts on prescription drugs directly to patients.

Fact sheet: hhs.gov/sites/default/…

Rule: hhs.gov/sites/default/…

Expect to hear a lot about this in the next few days — big priority for Azar. (And Trump too.)

NEWS: There’s a showdown on family separations in Congress, with ALEX AZAR refusing Democrats’ request to testify on Trump policy.

@FrankPallone: “we are going to get him here at some point one way or another.”

HHS official: We’ve counter-offered other Trump appointees, but the committee has rejected them.

What POLITICO is hearing: Azar doesn’t want to be portrayed as the face of the separations policy.

Story is updating…

BREAKING: The HHS inspector general says “thousands” more migrant children were likely separated by the Trump administration than previously known.
Story: politico.com/story/2019/01/…

INSPECTOR GENERAL: "More children over a longer period of time" were separated at the border than commonly known.

"How many more children were separated is unknown, by us and HHS.”
Updating story with more details, HHS reaction.

One key question: Did senior officials know even as these additional separations were taking place?

“We did not, in this report, address ‘who knew what, when,” inspector general said. But future reports may shed light on that.

Philadelphia is arguably the epicenter of the urban overdose crisis. And while things became a little-bit better in 2018, we are very far from where we need to be.

Thread on a year that started with a huge announcement and ended with a tiny glimmer of hope.
Last year ended with a devastating overdose cluster that took the lives of 70 people in 30 days. @aubreyjwhelan and @MikeNewall reported on the year that claimed 1,217 lives: philly.com/philly/news/op…
In January it seemed like 2018 might be different. Philadelphia officials declared that the city will not stand in the way of private entities that want to open a safe-injection site. Philadelphia was celebrated as the first city in the US to have a site: philly.com/philly/health/…

Getting settled in for the @PBOTinfo Central City in Motion plan hearing at City Hall. Should be a long one! Here’s list of invited testimony... (thx @bikeloudpdx for the pic)

#ccimpdx
Don't expect a #ccimpdx today. With an implementation plan & a separate, but related, parking mitigation plan on the agenda.. it's a lot of policy and commissioners are still learning about it. Today will be abt testimony & first impressions... test of political winds if u will.
Looks like Mayor @tedwheeler won't be here. Not surprised given his last 24 hrs (his controversial protest ordinance went down and then there was the "mutter" heard 'round the world). oregonlive.com/portland/index… /// #ccimpdx

This is the type of street anarchy that routinely happens where I live. Here is video from 6 Oct showing Antifa directing traffic in downtown & threatening people who don’t obey with violence. Mayor @tedwheeler, who really runs this town?
And here is video of an elderly man who didn’t heed their street orders — so they chased him down. #Portland
Saturday’s street take over was just one in a string of events where the city’s leaders abdicated responsibility to uphold the rule of law. Here’s an example I investigated from the summer that lasted for weeks: wsj.com/articles/anarc…

The least noted #refugee crisis is the flow of more than 1 million people OUT of #Venezuela, many of whom have had no real medical care for years amid collapse of V's govt syst. Unvaccinated, they are spreading #measles where they go. Example: Colombia: rcnradio.com/salud/casos-de…
[cont] At least 11 countries are affected by #measles due to the mass migration of more than 1 million #Venezuelans -- many of whom have never been properly vaccinated thanks to V govt catastrophe.
medicalxpress.com/news/2018-06-m…
Inside #Venezuela hospitals are filling up with #measles patients -- mostly unvaccinated children and young adults. This is what happens when government ceases to perform basic public health functions for its people.

Over the past 2 days, hundreds of doctors have shared heartbreaking accounts of how #gunviolence is a #publichealth issue. These are the stories of #docs4gunsense ... May their words make a difference.

The result of a bullet ricocheting inside the skull and destroying the brain on CT scan. The worst trauma I have seen. GUNS ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE – Gen Geller MD, NY #docs4gunsense @drgenngeller
The damage a bullet does to a 1 year old brain as it ricochets back and for. The guilt the family feels. The sadness we all feel.
