Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan propels ‘Medicare for All’ debate

LANSING — Fifteen years working as an emergency room nurse has convinced Kim Bogan that the only way to fix the American healthcare system is to tear it down and start over. Her patients arriving for triage are sicker than ever. They can’t afford many of the prescriptions they get in the ER. And sometimes when patients die, she wonders if she could have saved them had she not been caring for five or six other people at once.

Closures signal ills for Michigan's independent pharmacies

HAZEL PARK — One recent day, Matt Marinco filled a prescription for a patient's diabetes medication and lost nearly $133 on the transaction. The two-month supply cost the pharmacy $1,933.32, but insurance reimbursement totaled just $1,800.40. “Those losses are unsustainable,” said Marinco, pharmacist in charge at his family's Marinco Pharmacy, which has served Hazel Park for more than 80 years. Some pharmacists say the reimbursement issue has forced them out of business. Six independent pharmacies closed in Michigan in October, including four HomeTown Pharmacy locations and Fred's Pharmacies in Three Rivers and Vicksburg. HomeTown Pharmacy cited financial strain caused by pharmacy benefit managers' reimbursement practices as the main reason for the closure of an outlet near Muskegon and three in the Traverse City area. The closures are part of a broader trend. About 275 pharmacies closed statewide in 2024, including 91 independent outlets, according to the Michigan Pharmacists Association. Independent pharmacies across Michigan are facing mounting financial pressures, with owners saying PBM policies are making it increasingly difficult to stay afloat. Meanwhile, the PBM industry disputes that it is driving closures, saying pharmacies have ways to manage costs. At the same time, pharmacies are looking for ways to strengthen their

CosMedics Medical Aesthetics Clinic Reveals How Biostimulators Differ From Dermal Fillers

GRAND BLANC, MI - November 04, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Patients considering injectable facial treatment are often introduced to dermal fillers and biostimulators as if the two belong to one interchangeable class of products. They do not. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers restore facial volume by adding material that occupies space at the time of treatment. Biostimulators are used to encourage the body’s own collagen production so structure, firmness, and contour change gradually rather than all at once.
