WASHINGTON — In legacy mode, outgoing President Joe Biden’s White House is warning the Republicans who are about to take power against repealing his biggest achievements. During his 2024 campaign, Trump said, “We will rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act.”Republicans won a 53-seat Senate majority and a slim House majority of 220-215 in the 2024 elections. Other Republicans say there are plenty of other places for the GOP to find cuts to finance their multi-trillion-dollar effort. Murphy said he also favors slashing Affordable Care Act subsidies under the Inflation Reduction Act, which the Biden administration has used to limit insurance premiums for many in the middle class. “I think a lot of it needs to go away.”Asked whether the slim margins could hinder House Republicans when it comes to passing the major party-line measures, Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., said it’s a familiar dynamic for them.

Direct-to-consumer health-care startup Ro on Wednesday said its platform will now offer more affordable single-dose vials of the weight loss drug Zepbound through a new partnership with Eli Lilly , which aims to streamline access to the popular treatment.

Gifthealth will dispense the vials to patients who receive Zepbound prescriptions through a provider affiliated with Ro.

☆ Certain foods may disrupt your body’s fight against cancer cells, study says

CNN —The food you eat may be affecting your body’s ability to fight cancer cells in the colon, according to a new study. The potential culprit: an overabundance of certain omega-6 fatty acids — perhaps from ultraprocessed foods in your diet — that may hinder the anti-inflammatory and tumor-fighting properties of another essential fatty acid, omega-3. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that is found in corn, peanut, soybean, safflower and sunflower oils, is the most common omega-6 in the US food supply. “It’s a leap to say that omega-6s from ultraprocessed foods are the cause. Many ultraprocessed foods are made with soybean and other vegetable oils that contain higer levels of omega-6 fatty acids.

A new study offers more evidence linking cancer to inflammation from diets high in processed foods. Ultra-processed foods may be fueling a rise in colon cancer cases — but healthy foods could unlock new ways to prevent or treat the disease, new research suggests. The research team found that tumor samples contained a high proportion of these inflammation-causing compounds compared to healthy tissue. AdvertisementPrevious evidence has linked increased inflammation to diets high in processed food like chips, sausages, packaged desserts, and refined carbs. "Our bodies are designed to actively resolve inflammation through bioactive lipid compounds derived from the healthy fats, like avocados, that we consume."

A 60-minute outpatient procedure helped her lose over 100 pounds because it curbed her appetite. It's all because I've lost 109 pounds in weight after a non-surgical procedure to lessen the size of my stomach. It was triggered by an unkind comment from a boy while I was rollerblading up and down a hill. In my 20s, I lost 60 pounds but regained it within months with an extra 20 pounds on top. I went from a size 18 to a size 0 and had to buy a new wardrobe.

While he said he's not certain if the rally will continue, he thinks it's possible as long as the airlines keep their flight capacity on an even keel. "I'd say the strength can continue for however long the capacity discipline does," Cramer said. Usually, airline stocks make better trades than investments, according to Cramer.

SEOUL, South Korea — The head of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s governing party on Friday signaled more openness to his removal as president for plunging the key U.S. ally into chaos with a short-lived declaration of martial law, reversing his position the day before an impeachment vote. Han Dong-hoon, leader of the conservative People Power Party (PPP), had earlier said he opposed impeaching Yoon because it would only create more turmoil. The PPP, which repudiated Yoon’s martial law declaration, had asked him to leave the party but said earlier that it opposed the impeachment motion. Six opposition parties had proposed impeaching Yoon over the martial law order, which banned political activity and censored the media. Blinken also reaffirmed the “ironclad” nature of the U.S. alliance with South Korea, which it views as an important bulwark against North Korea, China and Russia, and which hosts almost 30,000 American troops.

He is campaigning for legislation that would slap warning labels on the front of ultra-processed foods — a step other countries took years ago. Some argue mandatory warning labels would violate their right to free speech. Sanders hopes this discussion will harness the buzz around Kennedy's MAHA movement to make warning labels a policy priority.

But Marsh said out-of-pocket costs can add up, even if a patient has insurance coverage for a weight loss treatment. GoodRx said people without insurance can save an average of $250 monthly, or $3,000 annually, using its coupons for weight loss drugs. The federal Medicare plan also doesn't cover weight loss treatments unless they are approved and prescribed for another health condition. But the Biden administration in November proposed a rule that would allow Medicare and Medicaid to cover weight loss drugs for patients with obesity.

Eli Lilly on Wednesday said its obesity drug Zepbound led to more weight loss than its main rival, Novo Nordisk 's Wegovy, in the first head-to-head clinical trial on the weekly injections. Eli Lilly said Zepbound provided a 47% higher relative weight reduction compared with Wegovy in the trial. Separate studies on the drugs, along with a recent head-to-head analysis of health records, have similarly implied that Zepbound outperforms Wegovy in terms of weight loss. Eli Lilly is still evaluating the results, which it plans to publish in a peer-reviewed journal and present at a medical meeting next year. Zepbound's greater weight loss is a huge advantage for Eli Lilly, which is competing with Novo Nordisk for a larger share of the booming weight loss drug market.

CNN —President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son has left some Democrats fuming over his choice to repeatedly and unequivocally claim that he would never take that step, even though a pardon long appeared possible to Hunter Biden’s legal team. That comes despite the White House saying that a final decision on the pardon was reached only this weekend. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said as recently as November 7 that a pardon for Hunter Biden was not being considered. Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son presented a delicate balancing act for the president, who has long been fiercely loyal to his family, even when it comes at his own personal or political detriment. People close to the president’s son said they didn’t want him to have to undergo sentencing.

Legal analysts had said it was possible that the president’s son could receive a year or less behind bars or even probation. Over the weekend, Mr. Trump said that he would nominate Charles Kushner to be the U.S. ambassador to France. Mr. Biden had been set to remain free on bond until his sentencing hearing, which was scheduled for mid-December.

It’s misinformation about autism and mass injury that doctors and public health officials have disproven over and over again. Less attention has focused on the CDC, a public health agency Kennedy has long vilified in speeches and writings. In his 2017 speech, Kennedy criticized ACIP as a group of self-interested actors who base decisions on financial gain instead of public health. “The people who are on ACIP are not public health advocates,” he said. “We would know the answer to that question if we were given access to the vaccine safety database, but they’ve hidden it,” Kennedy said.
