However, others, like 25-year-old Cochrin, are still seeking some relief for the costs of insulin and other necessary diabetes tools, like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors. While the costs of insulin have skyrocketed, and the direct medical costs of treating diabetes have also increased by about 7% since 2017. AdvertisementEarlier this month, Cochrin posted a TikTok explaining that a 3-month supply of her insulin pumps would cost her $1,800, even after insurance. Her continuous glucose monitor doesn't cost her anything right now, but in the past, she paid $30 a month with insurance. AdvertisementDifferent people may have increased sensitivity to different types and brands of insulin, Cochrin said, but insurance companies sometimes only offer one option for coverage.

☆ Biden has spent millions on gun policy, but future violence prevention depends on who wins the presidency
  + stars: | 2024-01-30 | by ( Allie Kelly | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
AdvertisementThe future of gun violence prevention policy will likely depend on who works in the Oval Office. But continued federal action hangs on whether Congress passes the Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act of 2023, a bill that would cement an office of gun violence prevention in the US Justice Department. As election season gears up, gun-related injuries have surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of death for young people, and 18,874 Americans lost their lives to gun violence last year, per the Gun Violence Archive. Breaking down Biden's investment in gun violence preventionIt's been almost six months since The Biden-Harris Administration created the first White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention , tasked with reducing gun violence across the country through executive and legislative action. The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, specifically, is funded through Congress' annual executive office appropriations.

☆ Texas moms can now get an additional 10 months of Medicaid after giving birth
  + stars: | 2024-01-25 | by ( Allie Kelly | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
New mothers in the state were previously eligible for Medicaid for only two months following childbirth. Increased access to Medicaid correlates with improved pre-pregnancy health, maternal health, and infant health outcomes, according to reports published in 2020 and 2021 by the KFF, formally known as the Kaiser Family Foundation. Texas is now one of 43 states that have extended the window for postpartum healthcare coverage under Medicaid. The monetary relief Texas mothers will receive depends on their specific income level and number of dependents. And Texas has seen recent efforts to limit abortion and reproductive health care access, especially following the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
