The city and county of San Francisco. Some of the out patients are eligible to receive a low price negotiated by the federal government in the socalled 340 b program. Unfortunately its not accessible to in patients that we have in our local hospitals as well as our jails. I would also note that our city purchases many of our drugs for our inpatient populations and others with a contract through a Company Called innovation. Unfortunately the pricing for those particular drugs are covered by nondisclosure agreement and we dont have the ability to understand how those prices are set.

It asks the department of Public Health to use consumer websites to provide comparisons for drugs in San Francisco and asks for the drug pricing through all inpatient settings federal legislative agenda for this year.

The owl whisperer, how long this guy was trying to get that owl out of his home before coming up with this ingenious idea coming up in the trend. Good day, everybody. Thanks for joining us on this tuesday, june 24th. Another Beautiful Day on tap, chris murphy, it is exciting when we feel like we are in the mode where kids are heading to camp. Maybe your children are going to camp. Just perfect weather for it, sue. It is, it is not too hot. We had a couple days in the the 90s when it was impressive last week. You will notice it is more humid later this afternoon and that is why were going with a nine instead of the ten but temperatures will be seasonal right where they are supposed to be this time of the year. Mostly sunny skies, just a bit more humid, temperatures they range from 67 degrees in the city, and to 60 in the mountains. We are at 59 in millville and in Atlantic City international.
