Local Democrats met June 13th

Local Democrats met June 13th
Staff report -- CCDCC meeting, June 13, 2019 On June 13, the Churchill County Democrats met for their regular monthly meeting. Special guests were Michael Cullen, Nevada Political Director for the Julián Castro presidential campaign, and Megan Joy Macias, Intern. Michael and Megan described their plans to help Nevadans become more aware of Secretary Castro’s platform and what he can do for Nevada. They have just started on their programs, but their enthusiasm was contagious. The members then discussed the upcoming Nevada Democratic Presidential Caucus, which will be held on Feb. 22, 2020. Prior to the actual caucus, Democrats will have the opportunity to vote early for their preferred candidate. Early voting will be held from Feb. 15-18. To prepare for early voting and the caucus, the Churchill County Democrats have formed a “2020 Caucus to Convention” committee. The committee will be working with the Nevada State Democratic Party and will have more details as the caucus gets closer. The next regular monthly meeting will be on July 11. Instead of the August meeting, the Democrats will hold their annual barbecue on August 10. Anyone interested in attending the July meeting, the barbecue, or helping with other Democratic activities can contact Chair Nyla Howell at (775) 427-4575 (cell phone) for more information.     Never miss the local news -- read more on The Fallon Post 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
