This post originally appeared in the Washington Examiner on January 31, 2019. . Outside groups prepare to fight Trump drug pricing proposal. Outside groups involved with fighting HIV, epilepsy, and serious mental illness are prepared to battle the Trump administration on a plan to change Medicare Part D, the portion of the program that covers prescription drugs. The administration has proposed making changes to what are known as the “six protected classes” of drugs, which allow certain patients with serious health conditions to receive any drug that their doctor determines is best to treat them. Under the administration’s plan, aimed at reducing drug spending, insurance companies would be able to require that doctors try certain less expensive drugs first, or require doctors to check with an insurance company before they issue a prescription. The organizations, which receive some funding from drug companies, said such a move would harm patients, even risking their lives, because insurance companies could even discontinue a medication that patients are already finding effective. The organizations, which have banded together to form the Partnership for Part D Access, are lobbying members of Congress to have them undo the proposal if it should become a final rule. If that doesn’t work, they signalled in a meeting with reporters Wednesday that they were prepared to sue.
“Patients and their families should not be paws in this fight,” said Andrew Sperling, director of legislative and policy advocacy at the National Alliance on Mental Illness. “We are going to continue to push back on the Trump administration on this.” Medicare patients who require the medicines are not only 65 and older, but many of them are younger and qualify for Medicare because their health condition meets the program’s provisions for people with disabilities. The Trump administration finished collecting comments on the proposal Jan. 25.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]

I never thought i could smile and be in a happy marriage again if not for the help of DR Moses . I got the doctors Email and i emailed him, he got back to me with some encouraging words, he got me some herbs cream which i use for just 8 days and i began to feel the male enhancement , and without surgery. This went on for a little period of about 10 days and to my surprise my wife keeps screaming that she love my big dick now. Now my wife no longer cheat on me, and my male enhancement is now about 10.5 inches long on erection and off course very large round. And now my wife uses breasts, hips and bums enlargement. I and my wife are very happy for the help rendered to me by DR Moses HERBS, and i want to say a big thanks to Doctor for the help. you can call/whats-app him directly on +2349060529305
