North Dakota Enacts Bipartisan Insulin Price Cap for State-Regulated Health Plans

North Dakota Enacts Bipartisan Insulin Price Cap for State-Regulated Health Plans

North Dakota has passed legislation to cap insulin copayments for state-regulated health plans, limiting out-of-pocket costs for patients with diabetes. This measure, co-sponsored by Republican State Sen. Sean Cleary, passed with overwhelming bipartisan support despite initial opposition from health insurers and the state chamber of commerce. The cap ensures that patients will not pay more than a set amount per month for insulin, even if they have high deductibles. This move follows a national trend, with Colorado being the first state to enact an insulin copay cap in 2019, limiting charges to $100 for a 30-day supply. The legislation in North Dakota was championed by State Sen. Tim Mathern, a Democrat, who worked to build support across the aisle. The Kritzberger family, whose daughter Nina has Type 1 diabetes, testified in favor of the bill, highlighting the financial burden and anxiety associated with high insulin costs.

Amsterdam City Council Approves Sharp Tourist Tax Increase Despite Business Objections

Amsterdam City Council Approves Sharp Tourist Tax Increase Despite Business Objections

The Amsterdam City Council has approved a significant increase in its tourist tax, raising it from 12.5 percent to 16 percent in 2027, with further annual increases planned to reach 20 percent. This decision, led by Mayor Femke Halsema and a coalition of aldermen, aims to combat overtourism, which saw Amsterdam host a record 21 million tourists last year. The move comes despite strong opposition from the city's cultural institutions and hospitality groups, who argue that the higher tax could deter visitors and negatively impact their struggling businesses. They fear tourists might opt to stay outside Amsterdam, still visiting the city but spending less money locally. Alderman Melanie van der Horst stated that the revenue generated from the tax is also needed for public services like waste collection, and city-commissioned research suggests the tax will reduce tourist numbers without harming financial resources.

IHMC Researchers Investigate Exercise and Nitrate Supplementation to Combat Aging and Improve Healthspan

IHMC Researchers Investigate Exercise and Nitrate Supplementation to Combat Aging and Improve Healthspan

Researchers at the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC) are conducting a new NIH-funded study, BOOST-X, to investigate whether adding a nitrate supplement to endurance and resistance training can further reduce all-cause mortality risk and reverse hallmarks of aging in adults over 59. This study builds on their ongoing five-year clinical trial, M³AX, which aims to demonstrate exercise's ability to improve healthspan and quality of life. Dr. Marcas Bamman, Senior Research Scientist at IHMC and Director of Healthspan, Resilience and Performance Research, leads the BOOST-X trial. The study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, with participants receiving either a nitrate supplement (beetroot juice) or a placebo. The goal is to enhance vascular and cardiorespiratory function, improve mitochondrial function, reduce inflammation, and lower oxidative stress, particularly for older adults who may have reduced nitric oxide synthesis and stiff arteries.
