CitizenVectron Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 GOP blocking COVID-19 bill over concerns it would not allow drug companies to charge whatever they want for a vaccine: https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/gop-blocking-coronavirus-bill-because-it-limits-how-much-drugmakers-can-charge-for-a-vaccine-report/ Quote On Tuesday, Politico reported that GOP lawmakers are holding up a bipartisan emergency funding bill to provide treatment and research for coronavirus. The main reason? They object to a provision that prevents drug manufacturers from overcharging the government for any vaccines or other treatment. “Democrats are insisting the spending package include significant funding to purchase large amounts of coronavirus diagnostics, treatments and vaccine, when it becomes available, which would then be made available to the public free of cost, according to a senior Democratic aide,” reported Politico. However, “Republicans are trying to eliminate the ‘fair and reasonable price’ federal procurement standard for the vaccines and treatments that will be developed and purchased with the emergency funds. ‘Fair and reasonable price’ is a basic standard to prevent price gouging in federal contracts. Without the language, drugmakers could charge the government above-market rates, meaning fewer Americans will have access, according to the Democratic aide.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Man in New Hampshite was ordered to self-isolate at home after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Instead, he went to a business networking event in Vermont. https://nypost.com/2020/03/04/coronavirus-patient-ignored-self-isolation-order-to-go-to-business-event/ Quote A hospital worker who became New Hampshire’s first coronavirus patient had been ordered to self-isolate — but went to a college’s business event instead, health officials have revealed. The selfish Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center staffer showed symptoms after returning from a trip to Italy, and was told to stay home while awaiting the test result, which came back positive Monday, health officials said. “The first patient, despite having been directed to self-isolate, attended an invitation-only private event on Friday,” the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) warned in a release. He should be punished to the full extent of the law, especially as he works in healthcare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
