Listen to latest PulseLine Calls at http://www.thewestfieldnews.com Faced with second accuser, Republicans fight for Kavanaugh WASHINGTON (AP) — The first allegation against Brett Kavanaugh left Republicans rattled and nervous. The second left them angry and ready to fight back. The GOP punched back hard Monday, seeming to cast aside — for now — worries that President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee could turn off female voters and sink their hopes of holding complete control of Congress following the November midterms. Rather than peel away from Kavanaugh, many GOP senators seemed to stiffen their resolve. The decision was in part based on the details of a new allega- Trump plan to rollback fuel tion. Many Republicans dismissed a report published late Sunday in The New Yorker magazine as weak and unsubstanti- ated — allowing them to turn their aim on the media, a well- worn and effective tactic. And some Republicans worried that not doing enough to push Kavanaugh across the finish line standards to get second hearing would hurt their standing with the GOP base heading into the FRESNO, Calif.

PAGE 6 - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2018 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS HEALTHFITNESS AP investigation Drug prices going up despite Trump promises NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump made reduc- ing drug prices a key promise during his election campaign, repeatedly accusing drugmakers of “getting away with mur- der.” At the end of May, he promised that drug companies would be announcing “massive” voluntary drug price cuts within two weeks. That hasn’t happened, and an Associated Press analysis of brand-name prescription drug prices shows it’s been business as usual for drugmakers, with far more price hikes than cuts. The number of increases slowed somewhat and were not quite as steep as in past years, the AP found. Over the first seven months of the year, there were 96 price hikes for every price cut, the AP found. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, the administration’s point person for efforts to lower drug prices, conceded in a recent AP inter- view that it will be a while before drug prices fall. He noted the complexity of the medicine market and its incentives for drug- makers to boost prices so they and middlemen make bigger profits. “I am not counting on the altruism of pharma companies lowering their prices,” said Azar, who was a senior executive in Eli Lilly & Co.’s U.S. business for a decade when it dra- matically raised prices for its insulin products. The AP analyzed 26,176 U.S. list price changes for brand- name prescription drugs from Jan. 1 through July 31 in the years 2015 through 2018, using data supplied by health infor- mation analytics firm Elsevier. The AP focused its analysis on the first seven months of each year because of the seasonality of price changes and to make meaningful year-to-year com- parisons. The data included more than 97 percent of price changes during those periods and, for many drugs, several dosages and drugs forms, such as pills, liquids and injectable drugs. (In the 3 percent of cases not analyzed, the AP couldn’t determine how In this Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018, photo Health & Human Services Secretary Alex Azar speaks during an interview with The the new price compared with the previous one or whether it Associated Pressin New York.

One of Brady’s favorite options, Gronk has just 13 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown this season. He hasn’t scored in either of the two losses, hauling in only six total receptions. But Gronkowski said no one inside the Patriots’ locker room is panicking about starting 1-2. “I mean, it’s early, it’s football and it’s the NFL,” he said. “Some crazy things hap- pen every single week and we’ve just got to bounce back. We can’t put our heads down, we have to keep them up. We’ve got to keep on fighting and there’s another week next week.” “We’ve got a big division game next week versus Miami.
