Aw man. Bruce was a really great guy. As an avid follower of Boston sports, his media blog was a must read for me back in the day. When I started out in my career, I reached out to him for advice a few times and he was happy to respond. RIP.
This is Bruce's wife. Bruce passed away on Sept 19th from complications with cancer treatment. I'll leave his account open for now. He loved sports and talking about sports and will be eternally missed.

A law restricting PBMs will pass Congress this year, says Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.). And he predicts his bill (delinking, spread pricing, transparency) will be part of a healthcare package in December. And yes, he remembers what Elon Musk did to the previous December healthcare package.

Pro tip: The Biden administration is proposing to cover drugs for obesity in Medicare and Medicaid, not for weight loss generally. That's an important distinction medically, and also legally, since Medicare is prohibited from covering drugs for weight loss.
