Wait, is he admitting preferential treatment was given when awarding these contracts and now they need to be pulled because Musk criticized a terribly written bill supported by Trump? Me thinks this should be looked into…

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

An example of chemo cost for Ovarian cancer. Tx date: 2/6/25.
Total cost $8,557. Med cost 19.4% of total.
Yellow is chemo meds; ~3.75% of total. Remainder are for nausea, steroids (blood counts) and allergic reaction prevention. Long acting nausea meds most expensive meds.

Things I had forgotten about chemo:
It hurts when your nose hair falls out
Your eyelids get red/puffy/itchy when your eyelashes fall out & they get caught in your contacts
Your fingernails and toenails throb incessantly
Your gums are dry & achy
You go thru a shit ton of Aquaphor & CeraVe

WOMEN: these states would prefer you suffer chemotherapy or death from ovarian cancer rather than allow you access to the mRNA vaccine currently in development to prevent it. As someone in treatment again (chemo #2 of 18 today) for stage 3 recurrent ovarian cancer, let me tell you it’s no fun.
