Mississippi House passes pharmacy benefit manager transparency bill
SUMMARY: A bill passed in the Mississippi House aims to increase transparency for pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) by requiring them to report data to the Board of Pharmacy. The bill prohibits PBMs from overcharging insurers for drugs and mandates reports on rebates, affiliations, and drug costs. It also allows the Board to issue subpoenas during audits. Despite passing with strong support (88-8), critics, including independent pharmacists, argue it doesn’t sufficiently protect smaller pharmacies or provide enough enforcement power. Some advocates push for a standardized drug pricing model, but House Speaker Jason White remains opposed to it at this time.

SUMMARY: Four of 43 escaped rhesus macaque monkeys were recaptured after two months in the woods, where they survived a snowstorm and were lured back with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The monkeys, all females, escaped on November 6 due to an unlocked enclosure at Alpha Genesis, a facility breeding them for medical research. The monkeys posed no health risk, and no details on their condition were provided, though they were reportedly in good health. The monkeys, which are similar in size to cats, were recaptured after being tracked and trapped by Alpha Genesis employees.
