Patients urge lawmakers to pass ‘Cole’s Act’ targeting pharmacy benefit managers

When most people think about cancer, they think about survival. What they don’t often consider is what survival costs.

Patients and advocates are urging lawmakers to pass “Cole’s Act,” a bill that would crack down on pharmacy benefit managers, the drug supply-chain middlemen hired by insurers.

As people return to gyms or start new fitness routines in the new year, new research suggests that even a short burst of intense exercise could play a role in protecting against cancer. Scientists report that as little as 10 minutes of hard physical activity may help slow cancer growth.
