Federal Government To Stop Paying For COVID Shots, Tests, & Treatments The Biden administration is starting to transition the federal government away from paying for Covid-19 vaccines, tests and treatments, with the shift likely to materialize this fall. "One of the things we''ve spent a lot of time thinking about in the last many months…is getting us out of that acute emergency phase where the US government is buying the vaccines, buying the treatments, buying the diagnostic tests," White House Covid-19 Response Coordinator Ashish Jha said at a US Chamber of Commerce Foundation event on Tuesday. "My hope is that in 2023, you''re going to see the commercialization of almost all of these products," Jha added. "Some of that is actually going to begin this fall, in the days and weeks ahead." Earlier this year, a White House request for another $10 billion in pandemic response funding stalled in Congress. On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported that, on Aug. 30, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will host a meeting of pharmaceutical companies, state health departments and pharmacies to start sorting out how to make the transition, which also include regulatory adjustments.

The stock market in 2022 has been volatile, and stocks are now officially in a bear market — which could be good news for long-term investors. Finding the best long-term stocks is about digging through stable companies with solid financial and business performance over time. These stocks may be volatile, as a broader stock market selloff will probably send them lower as well. It is impossible to entirely predict the actual bottom for any stock price. But picking companies with momentum in earnings and revenue that are trading at cheap valuations makes stock investing a long-term success. It takes a lot of patience and determination to find the best long-term stocks, but statistics show it is one of the wisest moves. Short-term investing is not suitable for everyone, as the wild price swings can not only make you nervous but also force you to make trades that will harm your portfolio. 7 Best Small-Cap Growth Stocks to Buy Now With all that said, here are some of the best long-term stocks that should perform well over the coming years.

President Joe Biden speaks about abortion access during an event in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Friday, July 8, 2022, in Washington. Evan Vucci/AP WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden delivered impassioned remarks Friday condemning the “extreme” Supreme Court majority that ended a constitutional right to abortion and pleading with Americans upset by the decision to “vote, vote, vote vote” in November. He signed an executive order to try to protect access to the procedure under mounting pressure from fellow Democrats to be more forceful in response to the ruling. The actions Biden outlined are intended to mitigate some potential penalties that women seeking abortion may face after the ruling, but his order cannot restore access to abortion in the more than a dozen states where strict limits or total bans have gone into effect. About a dozen more states are set to impose additional restrictions. Biden acknowledged the limitations facing his office, saying it would require an act of Congress to restore nationwide access to the way it was before the June 24 decision. “The fastest way to restore Roe is to pass a national law,” Biden said. “The challenge is go out and vote.

President Trump repeatedly hyped an obscure antimalarial drug, hydroxychloroquine, as a potential miracle cure for COVID-19. But there was almost no solid scientific evidence to back that claim, and researchers quickly established that it had no effect on the disease. Despite its unlikely profile as a cure, hydroxychloroquine has received more federal research funding than any other single potential treatment, an Insider investigation has found. Taxpayers have devoted at least $88 million — and likely much more — on research and prescriptions for the drug. "It's been a disaster," Arthur Caplan, the founder of New York University School of Medicine's division of medical ethics, said. "There's too much money … chasing around that drug based on very weak evidence in the literature and a presidential endorsement." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . Most Americans had never heard of hydroxychloroquine — the obscure antimalarial drug discovered in 1945 — until March 19. That's when President Donald Trump, speaking at a Coronavirus Task Force press conference in the White House briefing room with the blustering confidence of an old-time snake-oil salesman, first touted it as a likely miracle cure to defeat COVID-19.

The US has struck a deal with Gilead Sciences to purchase more than 90% of the global supply of remdesivir. Remdesivir has been shown to help moderately ill patients recover more quickly from COVID-19, and is only of the only treatments that has been found to be as effective. HHS secretary Alex Azar called it an "amazing deal," but it leaves many countries with few options. The treatment, which was previously donated by Gilead, has now been priced at $2,340 per course for developed nations, including the US. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . The US has purchased more than 90% of the world's supply of remdesivir, the only proven treatment for COVID-19, which will leave little for the rest of the world for at least the next three months. Gilead Sciences, the US-based company that makes the drug, agreed to sell more than 500,000 treatment courses to the US until September, which is almost the entire amount it has the ability to produce. Remdesivir, which was originally developed to treat Ebola, has been shown to help moderately ill patients recover more quickly from COVID-19, and was granted temporary FDA approval for that purpose in early May.

EHR giant Epic and Health Care Services Corporation (HCSC) — an independent licensee of five Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plans — introduced a "two-way" information exchange platform between the entities. The system will enable efficient exchange of data and insights between BCBS payers, patients, and in-network providers — and aims to provide a more holistic view of patient data. Interoperability challenges have plagued health systems for years — and we think the HCSC-Epic platform could begin to resolve some of these issues: Admin tasks are a key driver of physician burnout — and the new platform can relieve physicians of some admin-related stress by streamlining review of EHR patient data and mitigating time spent in EHRs.

The government has sent out 31 million hydroxychloroquine tablets to state agencies, The New York Times reported , and now has 63 million left over, alongside 3 million chloroquine pills.

The only effective coronavirus treatment approved for standard care so far will run out at the end of this month, the US government said. Our supply of remdesivir is expected to be depleted by June 29th, and Gilead likely won't be able to deliver more until this summer, as manufacturing efforts increase. Gilead plans to have more than 500,000 treatment courses by October, and more than 1 million by December. The race to develop vaccines and new drugs for the novel coronavirus is promising, but it'll be months before they could be ready. Once they're approved, there will be a limited supply at first and it might take a few more months for the drugs to be widely available. Separately, doctors have obtained good results at repurposing some of the existing drugs to treat COVID-19 patients, with several clinical trials aimed at offering new treatment protocols for the disease. But only one of them was officially confirmed to be effective in certain types of COVID-19 cases. That's remdesivir , the drug that Gilead Sciences developed for Ebola.
