The House on Thursday passed a health care package that included several bipartisan bills to lower drug costs, but without the support of most Republicans because it also included legislation to strengthen Obamacare.The vote was 234-183. Five Republicans voted to approve the package.Republican representatives, most of whom would have likely supported the drug pricing bills if they were brought up alone, cried foul, saying Democratic leaders had attached the Obamacare legislation as a poison pill that forced a tough vote for the GOP."Instead of delivering a victory for the American people today -- making prescription drugs more affordable -- Democrats are back at it, playing gotcha politics," said Energy and Commerce Committee Republican leader Greg Walden of Oregon.Democrats, meanwhile, argued they were simply delivering on their campaign promises to lower drug costs while bolstering Obamacare and protecting those with preexisting conditions.The Senate is not expected to take up the legislation.While the two parties have been working together on measures to address drug costs, House Democrats are also seeking to reverse many of Trump administration's moves to undermine the Affordable Care Act.The goal of the drug price bills is to make it easier for generic medication to come to market by ending some of the roadblocks that brand name manufacturers erect. For instance, it would ban brand name drug makers from paying generic rivals to delay bringing their lower-cost products to market and would make it easier for generic drug makers to get the samples they need to make their versions.But the legislation would also reverse President Donald Trump's extension of short-term insurance plans, which don't have to adhere to all of Obamacare's rules, so they can reject people with preexisting conditions or charge them higher premiums. The administration last year made these policies more attractive by extending their terms to just under a year, instead of three months. Also included is a measure to restore funding for outreach and assistance during Obamacare's open enrollment period that the President has slashed since taking office.The drug reform bills passed the committee with unanimous bipartisan votes, but the Obamacare provisions were approved on strict party-line votes, according to a senior Republican House aide.The White House also took issue with the combined bills, noting in a statement of administration policy that it contains "positive steps called for by the President to lower drug prices" but also measures that would limit Americans' health insurance choices and coverage. White House advisors would recommend the President veto the bill if it remains in its current form.Thursday's vote comes a week after 2768

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will no longer label same-sex couples "apostates" and will allow their children to be baptized into the church without special approval from church leaders, the church said in a surprise announcement Thursday.The announcement was made by Dallin Oaks, a member of the church's First Presidency, at a conference in Salt Lake City."Previously, our Handbook characterized same-gender marriage by a member as apostasy," the church said in a statement. "While we still consider such a marriage to be a serious transgression, it will not be treated as apostasy for purposes of Church discipline. Instead, the immoral conduct in heterosexual or homosexual relationships will be treated in the same way."The church, officially known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said it wants "to reduce the hate and contention so common today."The former policy, announced in 2015, had angered liberal and LGBT members, and some 1,500 left the church in protest, 1021

The Colorado-based burrito chain Illegal Pete’s has been up and running for over two decades, and the company now has nearly a dozen locations. “[Business has] been great for us,” said the chain’s founder Pete Turner.And it got even greater, Turner says, after an epiphany of sorts a few years ago. He thought to himself, “’What can this business be?’ And really, who is the face of the business? It’s the employees.”In 2015, Turner made a pledge—one that was practically unheard of at the time—to raise the minimum wages of his employees from an hour to . His plan was to increase pay gradually over three years.This month, that wage goes into effect.“Our employees are going to be able to live more comfortably [and have] fulfilled lives.,” he says. “They’ll be able to be more engaged in their job.”Employees like Kristina Keeling, who works in an entry-level position at Illegal Pete’s, says she knows firsthand how big of a difference those extra few dollars an hour make.“If I am surviving better in the world, then I’m going to come to work feeling a little bit better,” Keeling said. “Maybe feeling a little more positive about the world and I think I can give that and share that with the customers as well.”The federal minimum wage hasn’t changed since 2009, and it still sits at .25 an hour. However, many states have raised it on their own. Now, the nation is a hodgepodge of wages, and in some cases, large companies are now leading the way. Amazon, Target and Disney have announced they’ll pay employees an hour. However, critics argue small businesses will suffer if forced to pay an hour. The result may be to lay off workers or reduce hours.But Leo Gertner, with the National Employment Law Project, says when it’s done slowly, it works.“All of these changes have been extremely gradual,” Gertner explains. “Cents over time, and companies have been able to absorb the costs, including small businesses.”That’s how things are done at Illegal Pete’s. Turner’s mantra: make a slow buck, not a quick one.“It’s just nice to know we’ve got, let’s say, 380 people in Colorado that are able to live the lives they want to, go to school, grow in this company, get married, have kids, buy a house, and still work here,” Turner says. 2272

The Massachusetts Department of Health confirmed on Friday that a second person in the state has died from Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), which is a deadly disease carried through mosquito bites. Friday's announced marked the sixth known fatality in the United States this year from EEE. There have been two confirmed cases in Massachusetts, three in Michigan and one in Rhode Island. 2019 marks the deadliest year for EEE in more than a decade, according to the CDC.The vast majority of cases over the last decade have been reported in the eastern half other United States. Only one case, reported in Montana, has occurred in the western United States. “We continue to emphasize the need for people to protect themselves from mosquito bites,” said Massachusetts Public Health Commissioner Monica Bharel, MD, MPH. “The unusually warm weather expected this weekend will increase outdoor activity among people and mosquitoes. It is absolutely essential that people take steps to avoid being bitten by a mosquito.”On average, there are seven confirmed cases a year of EEE in the U.S, according to the CDC. In 2018, there were six cases of EEE with one being fatal. In 2017, there were five cases, two of which fatal. In 2016, there were seven cases, three of them fatal. The CDC said that on average, one third of all cases are fatal, and death usually occurs 2 to 10 days after the onset of symptoms. The CDC says that survivors of the disease frequently have severe neurological damage.Using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and removing standing water are ways to prevent being infected with EEE. 1630

The General Motors strike has caused a major disruption in the supply of auto parts to mechanics. Hannah Pelletier of Davis Auto Repair got the last brake module in her town to fix Chevy Suburban. “With the strike, we’re seeing parts take a week to two weeks,” said Pelletier.Pelletier said the typical wait is one to two days. “We normally get daily shipments and right now the shipments ha been sporadic,” said David Hunn, the service manager at Ed Bozarth Chevrolet in Aurora, Colorado. It’s not just the independent repair shops either. GM dealerships like Ed Bozarth's also in Aurora doesn’t know when their deliveries are coming. "Right now I’ve got three vehicles that are tied up waiting on parts,” Bozarth said.Hunn said one of his customers has been waiting three weeks to get their car fixed. There’s nothing he can do right now. He can’t fix it without the right pieces. In a statement, GM said dealers have a limited supply of parts, but that they're supplementing with inventory from wholesale dealers and other suppliers. The company says its ability to ship from distribution centers is limited. “Being an independent shop, our employees are very important to us. So if they felt they weren’t being taken care of we would want to do what we can because they’re what builds my business,” said Pelletier. Pelletier said she understands why the workers went on strike. But that doesn’t change the fact that she still needs parts to fix cars. “I would say if we had it for another month, that’s when we’re really going to start feeling it,” said Pelletier And dealerships like Ed Bozarth have been well stocked. “We do have a really good inventory plus we have two dealerships in town that we, we trade parts back and forth with,” said Hunn. But both David and the workers in his shop admitted that the lack of deliveries is putting a strain on them to get things done on time. 1905
