While the State Department has issued a $10 million reward for the ID of the Change Healthcare's hackers in its cyberattack in February, the health tech firm has reportedly been struck by a second ransomware attack.
Sixty-nine percent of brokers cited ever-changing federal and state mandates as a leading market force driving their firms to add new products and service offerings.
The membership club retail chain has expanded its partnership with telehealth company Sesame to launch a weight loss program that costs $175 for three months, which does not include the cost of the weight loss drugs.
This latest student loan forgiveness debt relief proposal, which the Education Department has been working on to replace the one dashed by the Supreme Court last year, will likely be challenged in court as well.
Just 31% of Americans believe they are on track with retirement savings, and this only increases to 40% for those who are 60 or older, according to economist Kathryn Edwards on the National Institute on Retirement Security's webinar.
"Finally, we beat Big Pharma," said President Joe Biden to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Wednesday at a White House event to promote efforts to lower the cost of asthma inhalers and other health-care expenses.
Aetna, Elevance Health and Kaiser Permanente will cover Wegovy to reduce heart attack risk in Medicare patients with heart conditions, following the FDA's approval of the drug to reduce stroke or heart attack risk in March.
Senator Bernie Sanders, who cites a Yale study that found an Ozempic dose costs Novo Nordisk less than $5 a month to manufacture, wants to meet with the drugmaker's CEO to discuss the drug's costs.
