Just @Allegiant instead of @AmericanAir from SRQ for the first time and wow, what a great decision. Plenty of space in their Extra seats, friendly crew, back in DC two hours before AA departs (IF on time), and I don’t have to deal with AA’s disinterested & unhappy gate agents.

CMS told us the prices they’ve set for drugs millions use to stay healthy. We don’t yet know, in spite of what they said, what the impact for patients at the pharmacy counter will be.
