WASHINGTON – New York Rep. Chris Collins submitted his resignation Monday ahead of his expected guilty plea Tuesday to federal charges in an insider trading case, according to the House Speaker's office, court documents and a person familiar with the matter.Collins sent a letter of resignation Monday to the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to her spokesman, who said Collins's resignation will be effective Tuesday.The first sitting congressman to back President Donald Trump's bid for the White House, Collins was reelected to office several months after he was originally indicted in the insider trading case.He faced reelection in 2020, and a guilty plea wouldn't necessarily have caused him to immediately lose his congressional seat unless he resigned or if the House of Representatives were to expel him, which would require a full vote of the House.It's not clear if Collins, who was charged by the Manhattan US Attorney's office, is set to plead guilty to precisely the same set of charges contained in the indictment against him, which was originally filed in August 2018 and was revised the following August.Collins' attorneys, Jonathan New and Jonathan Barr, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.Collins' co-defendants -- his son and another man -- are also set to change their pleas on Thursday, according to court filings.Collins and his co-defendants had pleaded not guilty twice in the case, once after the original set of charges in August 2018 and a second time -- to the revised charges contained in what's known as a superseding indictment -- earlier this month.Federal prosecutors in the Manhattan US Attorney's office allege that the defendants acted on non-public information about the results of a drug trial, which was then used to trade on the stock of the pharmaceutical company, Innate Immunotherapeutics Limited, of which Collins was a board member.The indictment didn't allege that Collins himself traded on information about the failed results of a drug trial, but that he passed the information to his son so that his son could execute trades. The superseding indictment narrowed the charges against Collins, dropping some, but not all, of the securities fraud counts.Speaking outside the courthouse after his second not guilty plea, Collins said he hadn't decided whether to run for reelection in 2020, adding that he would decide by the end of this year. "I look forward to being exonerated in due course," he said at the time. 2504

Wannabe vampires, beware: The US Food and Drug Administration warned Tuesday against using plasma infusions from young blood donors to ward off the effects of normal aging as well as other more serious conditions. Plasma, the liquid portion of the blood, contains proteins that help clot blood.The infusions are promoted to treat a variety of conditions, including normal aging and memory loss as well as serious conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, heart disease and post-traumatic stress disorder."There is no proven clinical benefit of infusion of plasma from young donors to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent these conditions, and there are risks associated with the use of any plasma product," FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb wrote in a 770

Vacations, savings, retirement funds — they all take a back seat for those who have to pay high prices for prescription drugs.“When I was diagnosed in 1972, insulin cost about a dollar a bottle,” Gail DeVore said. She was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic in her childhood and has lived with diabetes for almost 48 years.The price tag for a bottle of insulin now can reach up to 0 in the United States.Insulin helps diabetics manage their blood sugar. DeVore’s childhood doctor told her she wouldn’t live past 40. She recently turned 59 years old.Diabetics often have to buy multiple bottles of insulin at a time. For someone with a high deductible prescription plan, that money comes right out of their pocket.“To afford that, which happens to be more than my own mortgage, it’s unreachable for some families,” DeVore explained.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates around 30 million people in America have diabetes, which is almost 10 percent of the population. The national price of insulin increased from 4 in 2012 to 6 in 2016, according to the Health Cost Institute.“It’s the most expensive part of our lives,” Michelle Fenner said. Her 17-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes nine years ago.“It impacts us on vacations we can take, our ability to save for retirement,” she said. “We’ve had to pull from savings.”Insulin isn’t the only medication with a rising price tag. Fenner was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease just a year ago. Her medication can cost her more than ,000 a month. Prices can fluctuate based on the insurance’s drug coverage.“As I’m trying to keep my son alive and pay for all of his costs, am I going to be able to afford my medication?” she said.“Overall, drug prices have continued to increase,” said Gina Moore, the president of the Colorado Pharmacists Society. “We’re all touched personally by the cost of medications. My husband, as an example, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a couple months ago.”Individual spending on prescription medication increased from 0.7 billion in 2012 to 1 billion in 2016, according to Pew Charitable Trusts.“It’s not necessarily a new problem but it’s one that’s been magnified over the last decade,” Moore explained.Income for pharmacies from retail prescription drugs went up from nearly .8 billion in 2012 to .9 billion in 2016, according to Pew Trusts.“Don’t hesitate to ask your pharmacist if they know of less expensive alternatives,” Moore said.But for diabetics, there are no alternative drugs for insulin.“It’s this simple, tiny little hormone that every body should make,” DeVore said. “And without it, we die.”“How can you plan your life when you literally have no idea how much something is going to cost?” Fenner said. 2772
