White House Releases Plan To Shore Up Medicare Funding

(Washington, DC) -- The White House is proposing a plan to shore up funding for Medicare. The plan includes raising taxes on those earning more than 400-thousand a year and allowing Medicare to negotiate prices for a wider range of drugs. The Biden administration says the proposal would extend Medicare’s solvency by 25 years or more. The measure will be included in the President’s budget proposal set to be released Thursday. Medicare covers about 65 million senior citizens and people with disabilities.

Nexletol Could Be Effective Alternative To Statins

(Undated) -- There could be an alternative to statins when it comes to lowering cholesterol. Statins are effective, but some people are susceptible to side effects, like pain and weakness. A new study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that bempedoic acid can be effective in lowering cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. Doctors have been hesitant to prescribe bempedoic acid, sold under the name Nexletol, because they haven’t seen enough data about its effectiveness. This study, funded by the makers of Nexletol, looks to provide that data.

Keto-Like Diet May Increase “Bad” Cholesterol

(Undated) -- A new study suggests a low-carb, high-fat “keto-like” diet may increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The study was presented at the American College of Cardiology’s annual meeting.. Researchers looked at over 300 participants following a daily diet of 25-percent or less of carbohydrates and 45-percent or more of fats. Compared to the health records of 12-hunded people who ate a more balanced diet, the participants on the keto-like diet had increased levels of LDL, or “bad cholesterol” and a higher risk of heart disease.
