GUEST COLUMN, John Stanford, Executive Director of Incubate

Last month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began meeting with patients who use the 15 drugs it selected for the second round of Medicare price “negotiations” — including weight-loss treatment Wegovy.

CMS will use these discussions to inform the lower prices it’ll set for the medicines. What CMS won’t address is the growing list of drugs that’ll never be developed as a result of government price-setting.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Reita Isaacs, Liberal

Here I sit late at night after several of the television programs have already been rebroadcast, thinking I should have finished the article I had started earlier. You’re never, ever going to believe the entire thing was gone. No.. I’ve written enough to know how to stop and restart later; so I'll see how far I can get before my eyes get a glimpse of the time.

The time has come for me to quit holding back from saying, “I told you so!” covering the occurrences leading up to the deliberate and total of destruction of America and her way of life. Our nation has to be destroyed before they can destroy Israel, leading to the One World Government.

Podcaster Jon Lovett recently admitted what a lot of Democrats believed in 2024. Despite the fact that President Joe Biden was no longer fit to serve, they didn’t care.

Lovett, a former Obama speechwriter and host of “Pod Save America” admitted that “I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but I’m not going to go as far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president ... because I didn’t exactly know what was going on behind the scenes, but if Joe Biden is the presidential candidate, I want him to win.”

THE POSTSCRIPT, Carrie Classon

Summer arrived suddenly.

It was as if spring got shortchanged and we leapt from late winter into summer with nothing in between. I watched the gardeners wake with a start and begin tearing up their lawns and gardens with a fury, as if they had overslept and had to make up for lost time.

I do not garden.
