Arthritis Foundation Backs Legislation to Cap Out-of-Pocket Drug Costs - Bill Provides Access to Drugs That Help Prevent Disability for People with Arthritis

A new bill supported by the Arthritis Foundation and introduced by Sen. John. D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.) aims to make expensive medications more affordable to many Americans. The Affordable Access to Prescription Medications Act of 2009 would cap monthly out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs, including medications that are critical to the health and quality of life for people with arthritis.

As more insurers move vital medications onto what is referred to as a specialty tier for medications over $600 a month, prescription drugs necessary to maintain health and prevent disability are becoming out of reach. For insured people with chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, a co-payment of 20 to 35 percent could amount to hundreds of dollars a month per prescription. Without cheaper alternatives to disease-modifying therapies, individuals unable to afford co-payments may go without crucial medications that could slow the progression of the disease and prevent future disability....

"Pilot Paul" Says Taking Shoes Off For Airport Security Can Be Embarrassing - Even for Airline Captains

Paul Myers, known throughout the aviation community and cyberspace as "Pilot Paul", operates http://www.pilot-pauls-travel-accessories.com. From the perspective of a professional traveler, he reviews travel gear, reveals insider secrets and gives travel tips.

Myers says that pilots sometimes are excused from taking off their shoes if they wear a certain type without metal. But in most cases, even those shoes have to go through the detectors.

He says, "As an Airline Captain, I love my work, but the least favorite part is the necessary task of going through security. I especially dislike taking off my shoes- it makes me feel somewhat violated. I am sometimes embarrassed by my lack of sock maintenance, as evidenced by a toe protruding through a hole I neglected to sew."

"I know that it can be even more embarrassing for people walking barefoot through the screening lanes. Let's face it - many people's feet are unattractive or smelly. For those with normally concealed foot afflictions, they are subject to embarrassing public display. I feel sorry for those who didn't wear socks and are left with no choice but to go barefoot in public."... (Continue reading)
