  1. ZDNet: This AI-designed drug for IBD was just given to human subjects for the first time. “While drugs are being developed using AI in a variety of ways, no drugs developed completely by AI, from start to finish, have so far made it over the finish line of regulatory approval.

  2. #Trump will replace #Obamacare with... a concept of a plan. Never mind that Obamacare is literally a plan created by the #heritagefoundation then vilified as #socialism because only 3 republicans would work with him, turning it into the weird Frankenstein that at least ended denial of coverage for #pre-existingconditions but if not for the #filibuster, it would have been a #publicoption that had the power to #negotiate down the #prices because economies of scale make that possible. Instead it was a handout to the #drugcompanies , and the best worst plan we could have. Trump just says its bad and has no plan to replace it with anything other than creating a #medical wild west that will let patients die. Don't believe me? that was standard practice prior to Obamacare.

  4. In other 'Merican health care adventures, I have learned that my prescriptions have fallen into what the insurance company calls "the donut hole," and I'll be responsible for 25% of my pharmacy co-pays in the future. Which dings me for over $1000 additional out-of-pocket between now and end-of-year. 'Merican "staying alive" payments and red-tape are AWESOME! Thanks, Republicans!

  5. @arstechnica
    I'm full-blown diabetic and my doctor just put me on Ozempic to bring down my recently rising A1C. Would be terrible if a tag team of greedy drug companies, Tiktokers, trendy stars, and fashionistas ruined this for people who actually need it. Not to mention maybe toppling the entire health-care system, bad as it is in the U.S.

  6. Our society is broken beyond repair.

    I just saw a TV commercial with the opening line, “I needed more from my anti-depressant.”

    Really, what the fuck is wrong with us? We as a society are disgusting.

  13. CW: Why Are Prescription Drug Ads Even a Thing? - Steve Shives

    A funny look at a strange kind of advertisement you will find in the US. What is the point of drug ads? You can't buy them yourself. You need a doctor to prescribe them first. So we are supposed to do the job of the drug company and sell it to our doctors?
