Legislature-led mental health task force begins meeting in Jackson
SUMMARY: A new task force in Mississippi, the K-12 and Postsecondary Mental Health Task Force, convened at the state capitol to address mental health issues in schools. Comprising 24 members from government, education, and healthcare sectors, the group will catalog public mental health resources and is open to public testimonies and suggestions. Co-chairs Rep. Rob Roberson and Sen. David Parker stress the urgency of finding resources for students urgently, citing Mississippi’s high suicide rates among teens. The task force plans to collaborate with non-profits and experts to draft future mental health legislation. Public insights can be sent to MHTF@peer.ms.gov.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, along with 38 other attorneys general, is urging Congress to ban pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from owning pharmacies. Growing concerns among small pharmacy owners and consumers highlight PBMs’ influence on drug pricing, which can harm independent pharmacies and access to healthcare, particularly in rural areas. Fitch argues that PBMs leverage their power to manipulate drug prices and impose unfair terms on pharmacies. A recent push for legislation to regulate PBMs and prevent practices like spread pricing has stalled. The attorneys general’s letter to Congress seeks to protect consumers and small businesses from PBM exploitation.
