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

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Ayanna Pressley announced in a new video that she has gone bald due to alopecia. The freshman Massachusetts Democrat was known for her long hair twists. Her hair styles had become an inspiration to young supporters. In the video on the African American-focused website The Root, Pressley publicly revealed her bald head for the first time. Pressley said she felt compelled to go public to free herself of the shame of her condition and provide true transparency to all the people empowered by her hair style. Pressley said she first noticed her hair falling out back in the fall. 615

While Spider-Man was off-duty, a real-life superhero swung into action to comfort Lenore Koppelman's son.She and her husband, Steve, took Ralph, 9, to Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park in Florida on a trip from New York. Ralph patiently cycled through other rides all day, but all he wanted to do was get on the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.With that attraction positioned near the park exit, he'd have to wait.Finally, when it was time to ride, Ralph bubbled over with excitement. But with the ride vehicles in sight, Spider-Man broke down.Ralph, who has autism, "lost it," Koppelman wrote in a Facebook post."We could see (the meltdown) coming, like an oncoming train. And yet we couldn't dodge out of the way."Ralph lay sprawled on the floor of the ride exit, screaming and crying so hard he could barely breathe. People had to step around him. Koppelman wrote such fits are rare, but the one at the park was "epic."His parents tried to peel him off the ground as strangers stared at the distraught child.That's when Spider-Man ride employee Jen Whelchel lay down next to him.She let him cry, helped him breathe and diverted foot traffic. She told Ralph it was OK to be sad, Koppelman wrote. The two lay there until the boy felt better.When they got up, Ralph picked out Spidey trinkets from the gift shop (courtesy of Whelchel). Ralph smiled and thanked her, and Koppelman hugged her, long and hard.The parent shared her experience in a glowing Facebook recommendation, now shared more than 34,000 times, thanking the "magical people" who made Ralph feel special."I noticed his level of upset was more than the regular level of upset," Whelchel told 1680

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Amid the bright orchids of the U.S. Botanic Garden sits a 200-year history of protecting America’s most fragile plants.“We're a living repository for rare and endangered plants,” said Saharah Moon Chapotin, director of the garden.The U.S. Botanic Garden is the oldest one in the country, an idea envisioned by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. It’s about to celebrate its 200th year. About 60,000 plants, lying within several acres in the heart of Washington, D.C.Conservation at the garden is always in season.“Many of our plants are rare and endangered and we are providing a home for them,” Chapotin said.Here in the U.S. there are 1,300 species that are considered threatened or endangered. Nearly 20 percent of those are plants adding up to hundreds of flora on the brink.Some already fell off the cliff, like Hawaii’s “Cabbage on a Stick.” Because of overdevelopment, the insect that pollinated it disappeared and in 2014, the plant went extinct in the wild, too.There are others endangered, too, like a cactus from Arizona and bushes which are native to Florida. Endangered plants don’t always get the kind of attention endangered animals do.“Often people do think about animals they have faces and they're sort of cute,” USBG deputy director Susan Pell. “So, we kind of think people generally can sort of sympathize with them a little bit more, than maybe with a plant that they're not familiar with.”At the garden, they emphasize how much plants are tied to the habitat of endangered animals, at risk from invasive species, development and climate change.“They're really interconnected and so I think plants are a fundamental part of conserving environment and conserving habitats,” Chapotin said. “And if you just focus on conserving the animals you're leaving out a huge part of the equation in terms of the plants.”That all adds up to a continuing mission of saving plants there in the hopes of one day taking those that are now extinct outside the walls and reintroducing them back to Mother Nature. 2049
