Democracy Was Saved on 4/4/23 ! And I Am Not Talking About The Orange One.

 A VERY important thing happened on Tuesday April 4, 2023.  Democracy was saved ! While most people were glued to the news about the orange man with a curved string pancake mullet (or a duck tail) for a hairstyle but my thoughts and prayers and crossed fingers and toes were focused on Wisconsin ! We can thank the Wisconsin Dems for saving democracy.  Huh ? Wisconson Dems just helped elect, by a wide margin (11 points), the progressive candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court Janet Protasiewicz to a ten year term starting this coming August.

 Health and Human Services now estimates that 1.5 million people with Medicare would have saved approximately $500 on out-of-pocket (OOP) insulin expense if the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) had been in effect in 2020.   Remember that the IRA caps the OOP cost of insulin per prescription fill to $35.   So, you are asking, why is an average OOP cost of $42 per month ($500 divided by 12 months = $42 per month) such a big deal ?  Yes, that is a savings of $7 per month.  Not much, huh.  These numbers are based on filled prescriptions.  What we don't know is the number of UNFILLED prescriptions that would drive the numbers higher. In my healthcare practice, it was not unusual for people to slow down on insulin use and stretch that bottle further to afford the drug.  This was true of many medications.  God forbid that they drop and break a bottle of insulin or tip over a bottle of pills. Many of my patients were pretty indigent with littl...
