Two New Jersey transit officers went above and beyond the call of duty to help reunite a family.Jose Lopez left Long Branch, New Jersey, for Florida, and lost everything — his home, his job and communication with his loved ones. He returned to New Jersey looking for his daughters. He was down on his luck until a chance encounter with a NJ Transit police officer. "When I asked him, 'where are you headed?' he said Long Branch and I said, 'what's out there?' and he said it was his family," Officer Joshua Robles with NJ Transit police 554

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

With cable, internet and streaming services, our bills sometimes feel like they’re getting out of hand, but there’s one thing you can do to cut a few bucks per month. Nick Chalm was spending more than 0 each month on various entertainment services. "It kind of gets quite expensive,” said Chalm. “At the end of the month, you end up spending hundreds of dollars on things you hardly use."So, Chalm looked at his bill to see where he could cut back and noticed that if he returned his modem to his cable company and bought his own, he could save. How much exactly? Well, Chalm’s Xfinity modem costs a month to rent. A new modem from Best Buy costs about . In his first year without renting, he could save around 0. The sec

WASHINGTON — The House has approved legislation to provide direct relief to Americans suffering physically, financially and emotionally from the coronavirus pandemic. The action comes after President Donald Trump declared the outbreak a national emergency, freeing up money and resources to fight it, then threw his support behind the congressional package. Still, he has denied any responsibility for delays in making testing available for the new virus, whose spread has roiled markets and disrupted the lives of everyday Americans. The aid package from Congress would provide free tests, sick pay for workers and bolster food programs. The crush of activity caps a tumultuous week in Washington.According to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, the House will need to vote on revised language on Monday, though he did not specify which language needed to be corrected.Trump said Saturday that the Senate would vote on the bill "early next week." 958

Twelve-year-old William Burton wasn’t just winded when he collapsed Tuesday during Little League practice in Grayson, Kentucky. He was having a heart attack, and none of his teammates knew about the life-saving device in his backpack. Serendipity in the form of a nearby ambulance likely saved his life. His parents don’t want to have to count on it twice.“We were fortunate enough to have the emergency crew or the ambulance close enough to get there in time, but most people are not that lucky,” his mother, Amy Burton, said Thursday. William has a heart condition called long QT syndrome, which makes him prone to irregular heartbeats and sudden cardiac arrest. He keeps an automated external defibrillator (AED) with him at all times to ensure his safety, his mother said.As the family learned Tuesday, that only helps when the people around him are aware of it. His baseball team, which he had joined only a short time before, wasn’t. They attempted CPR while William gasped for air and his pulse faded.Then it stopped. Amy Burton doesn’t like to think of what would have happened if paramedics hadn’t arrived and resuscitated him with their own defibrillator.William would be airlifted to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where he spent the next two days sedated and recovering in intensive care. His family still wasn’t sure whether or not he would survive.He came off his ventilator for the first time Thursday."He asked me what happened, and I said 'You collapsed at the ballfield at baseball practice,’” his mother said. “He said 'Well, did I catch the ball?’”Although Amy Burton said she was grateful for the quick response of paramedics and Children’s Hospital, William still has weeks of recovery ahead.She hopes the incident will remind other teams and schools of the importance of keeping AEDs on hand and ensuring anyone in a leadership position — a coach, a teacher, a principal — knows how to use one in an emergency.“When they’re a permanent fixture there, all sports coaches, all faculty and staff are going to know it’s there and grab it immediately,” she said. “It’s important because CPR can keep the blood pumping, but an AED can actually restart the electric system of the heart.”As for William, she said: “He has been a miracle, an absolute miracle. They cannot believe how quickly he has recovered. Literally yesterday he was fighting for his life. We didn’t know if he would make it.”The family anticipates significant medical costs as a result of William's prolonged hospitalization. Anyone interested in making a contribution 2592
