An Author Talk at the Library
A Conversation with Steve Raabe, author of Patrolling the Heart of the West: True Tales of a Nevada State Trooper Steve Raabe, author of Patrolling the Heart of the West: True Tales of a Nevada State Trooper discussed his book with moderator Ron Belbin last week at the Churchill County Library. Belbin teased out stories of Raabe‘s experiences patrolling the hundreds of miles between Fallon, Winnemucca, McDermitt, and surrounding areas. It was clear that he enjoyed his job and found it challenging. He fielded questions from the audience including his role in the Claude Dallas case in the 1980s. Raabe’s books are available at the Churchill County Library.     Read more local news on the home page of The Fallon Post, click HERE to return to the home page.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
