Speaker Nancy Pelosi released a plan detailing House Democrats’ ideas to change the way people get prescription drugs. At the heart of the plan is a retroactive 95% tax on up to 250 of the most common medicines. The only way out of paying this tax is if the drug becomes subject to strict government price controls and price caps. The House is expected to vote on the plan this fall

If all that sounds suspiciously like "Medicare for all," it should. This extreme tax hike on the prescription medicines we all take would fit very nicely into similar socialized medicine plans pushed by presidential front-runners. It’s so radical that it doesn’t even try to hide what it’s doing.
This 95% Pelosi Medicine Tax is which, of course, is actually paid by you and me at the pharmacy counter or in our health insurance premiums, they can submit their drug to government arbitration, which is another term for a price control. This price control would have a ceiling of no more than 120% of the cost of the drug in the six biggest non-U.S. industrialized countries.

Heart attacks require immediate medical attention to minimise the amount of damage done to a person’s heart muscle. While heart attacks can happen suddenly, it tends to be an accumulation of unhealthy lifestyle decisions that lead up to the event.   

 As more and more evidence emerges about the link between red and processed meats and heart disease, people are increasingly following a plant-based diet.  

 A new study has revealed that halving the amount red and processed (RPM) meat in the diet can have a significant impact on health, reducing the amount of LDL 'bad' cholesterol in the blood which cuts the risk of developing heart disease.

“The results of the present study showed that, even in relatively young and healthy individuals, making relatively small changes to RPM intake induced significant changes in LDL cholesterol which, if maintained over a period of time could potentially reduce the risk of developing heart disease."

Since the beginning of the Trump presidency, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been fending off calls to impeach Trump. The clamor started on the left fringe and quickly worked its way toward her inner circle, with committee chairs and her close friends in the conference publicly embracing impeachment in increasing numbers following the 2018 midterm.
On top of the dam breaking in Pelosi’s conference, clear majorities of Democratic voters have favored impeaching Trump for two years, even as clear majorities of the broader electorate did not. 
The intensity of partisan Democratic opinion has been magnified by the presidential primary, with numerous candidates  most notably Elizabeth Warren  loudly banging the impeachment drum, and attracting large crowds in the process. 
This is about the coming election. How to move the pendulum to the Democratic side. It is the power in money, taxation, influence and avoid being run over by Trump's economics.

Just a thought.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Saturday that she is heartbroken and prayerful as House Democrats move forward with their impeachment inquiry and that President Donald Trump's actions left her no other choice.
"This is a very sad time for our country. There is no joy in this," she said. "We must be somber, we must be prayerful and we must pursue the facts further to make a decision as to, Did this violate the Constitution of the United States? Which I believe it did."

An hour after causing public panic by saying a cougar escaped from a zoo in Kansas. Officials said the animal never actually left the grounds and has since been captured.
Initially, officials in Independence said the cougar escaped from the Riverside Park and Ralph Mitchell Zoo and that local law enforcement, along with park officials, were searching the area for any sign of the animal.

Comment:
If the cougar didn't escape, then the report of recapturing the wild animal is incorrect.
Just a thought.
