    Cracking the code of biological aging could solve America’s health care crisis

    What should we do about the financial burden of health care? This question has vexed our political class for decades. Not even the passage of Obamacare in 2010 has managed to settle the issue. Now President-elect Biden will get a turn to address our nation’s most intractable long-run challenge. To succeed where others have failed, Biden should focus on a solution that improves health outcomes while reducing the cost of care—treating biological aging. The fundamental problem with health care in the U.S. is that it is expensive. In 2018, the latest year for which data is available record, national health expenditures stood at 17.7{ce8ce7cc98bffdc4302011057a79600ea02c464c5536f1477c12acdb8bd79c00} of GDP—$3.6 trillion. Politicians vigorously debate…

    Only 2.1 million Americans have received their first dose of the COVID vaccine

    President-elect Joe Biden criticized the Trump administration Tuesday for the pace of distributing COVID-19 vaccines and predicted that “things will get worse before they get better” when it comes to the pandemic. “We need to be honest — the next few weeks and months are going to be very tough, very tough for our nation. Maybe the toughest during this entire pandemic,” Biden said during remarks in Wilmington, Delaware on Tuesday. His comments come as the coronavirus pandemic has killed more than 336,000 Americans, with experts warning holiday travel and gatherings could precipitate yet another spike in virus cases even as the virus has already been surging in states nationwide.…

    How the Actor Got Ripped

    Riz Ahmed had a clear vision of what he wanted to look like in Sound of Metal.

    Seniors face steep drug costs as Congress stalls on capping Medicare out-of-pockets

    Sharon Clark is able to get her life-sustaining cancer drug, Pomalyst—priced at more than $18,000 for a 28-day supply—only because of the generosity of patient assistance foundations. Clark, 57, a former insurance agent who lives in Bixby, Okla., had to stop working in 2015 and go on Social Security disability and Medicare after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer. Without the foundation grants, mostly financed by the drugmakers, she couldn’t afford the nearly $1,000 a month it would cost her for the drug, since her Medicare Part D drug plan requires her to pay 5{ce8ce7cc98bffdc4302011057a79600ea02c464c5536f1477c12acdb8bd79c00} of the list price. Every year, however, Clark has to find new grants…
