Chapter 2: What recent announcement did President Trump make regarding prescription drug costs?
President Trump has announced a deal to lower prescription costs. Trump says drug makers Eli Lilly and Noble Nordisk are expanding coverage of their obesity and type 2 diabetes drugs to Medicaid and Medicare patients at a much lower cost.
Americans have been spending as much as 520% more for ZipBound and 1,400% more for WeGoVie. than patients in Europe. Think of that. 1,400% more than a patient in Europe for the exact same box. And that ends starting today.
Trump says the lower cost will also apply to oral versions of the weight loss drugs that are still in development. The government shutdown threatens to disrupt domestic air travel. With fewer staff on duty, NPR's Windsor Johnston reports that the FAA is warning of flight delays and limited airspace.
The Federal Aviation Administration is urging passengers to plan for longer security and boarding times. Some regional control centers could operate with reduced staff, meaning fewer flights allow through at once. Airlines are advising customers to check flight status early and sign up for text alerts.
The Transportation Security Administration says arriving at least two hours before domestic flights and three for international is even more critical during the shutdown. Travel experts recommend booking early morning departures. The FAA says it's working to minimize disruptions, but until funding is restored, even clear skies could mean crowded airspace.

It's an historic moment for the Congress. It's an historic moment for the women of America.
