Prescription Justice Introduces New 2020 Congressional Report Card on Drug Prices

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Prescription Justice, a non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to lowering drug prices in America, today introduced its new 2020 Congressional report card on drug prices. Using a dynamic, multi-factor methodology, members of the House and Senate are scored and assigned a letter grade, A through F. The grades, which are based on data from votes taken, bills sponsored and co-sponsored, money received by pharmaceutical manufacturers and…

The drug prices grade is designed to empower voters, advocacy groups and political organizations to determine who they want to support in upcoming elections based on their records on prescription drug prices. Using the share feature on the web site, grades can easily be shared on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and by email.

«High drug prices have long been a public health crisis in our country, and the Covid-19 pandemic has greatly aggravated the problem,» said Prescription Justice founder, Gabriel Levitt. «In too many cases, such as with insulin, people are dying because they can’t afford common life-saving treatments. Americans deserve to know whether their elected officials are working to solve the problem of drug prices or they are part of the problem, and our new report card will help them find out.»

«Most congressional report cards rely on simple vote tallies on a given issue,» said Michael Walker, political data analyst at Data Made Useful. «Prescription Justice’s report card takes a much deeper dive into analyzing congressional behavior on drug prices. This was in part a matter of necessity, because votes on drug prices are few and far between, but also a matter of substance, because our multidimensional approach can best show voters how committed their elected officials are to this issue.»

Unlike most other issues where voters split along ideological lines, Democrats and Republicans agree that prescription drug pricing is a huge problem. Overall, about eighty percent of Americans believe drug prices are unreasonable. Ninety percent of Democrats and 80% of Republican voters want to empower Medicare to negotiate drug prices. The report card reflects the fact that far more Republican members of Congress are out of touch with the electorate, but so are many Congressional Democrats.

In the House of Representatives, there were of 12-As, 210-Bs, 8-Cs, 33-Ds, and 166-Fs. In the Senate there were 15-As, 17-Bs, 14-Cs, 29-Ds, and 24-Fs.

Grade Breakdown by Party in the House and Senate:

-House Democrats: 12-As, 207-Bs, 8-Cs, 3-Ds, 3-Fs
-House Republicans: 0-As, 3-Bs, 0-Cs, 30-Ds, 163-Fs
-Senate Democrats: 14-As, 14-Bs, 7-Cs, 7-Ds, 5-Fs
-Senate Republicans: 1-A, 3-Bs, 7-Cs, 22-Ds, 19-Fs

Total: 27-As, 227-Bs, 22-Cs, 62-Ds, 190-Fs

«Politicians who want to take a stand on drug prices can fill out the Prescription Justice questionnaire. We call it the Prescription Justice Pledge» said Jodi Dart, Executive Director of Prescription Justice. Members of Congress can raise their grades by going on the record on the organization’s policy platform. «For each yes answer they give, members are awarded 2 raw score points toward a new or higher grade. Members who entirely commit to the pledge go up a full grade. As a long-time Republican voter, I would like to see members of my party begin to move on this issue and give their voters the relief they need on drug prices.»

In addition to the grade which is available at https://prescriptionjustice.org/, Prescription Justice will also offer an online presentation for journalists, members of Congress, advocacy groups and voters to explain how the report card works. For access to the presentation, please contact Jodi Dart. The full press release is also available on the Prescription Justice website, here: https://prescriptionjustice.org/resources/press-releases/press-release-august-4-2020

Ultimately, the app allows users to communicate with the entire company, create work assignments, view schedules, track employee certifications, and view workforce data from the comfort of a smartphone.

The new app eliminates this requirement, allowing users to access their LaborChart information straight from their tablet or smartphone home screen with an improved experience.

«The communication enhancements that come with this app will be very transformative,» said Ben Schultz, CEO of LaborChart. «One of the biggest challenges with workforce management is working with accurate information, because of how fast things change, and how difficult it is to share these updates.

Providing added value and ease of use to both the operations team and the project teams, the LaborChart mobile app creates a company-wide solution that is accessible to individuals regardless of whether they are in the office or working remotely.

The mobile app is just one new offering from LaborChart that will change the way the construction industry manages its workforce.»

Communicate with individuals, specific groups and the entire organization through in-app messages, alerts and push notifications
Submit manpower requests and view current requests
Access data about their workforce, including certifications, tags, files, activity feeds, notes and projects

Communicate with managers, supervisors and other leaders through messages and push notifications
View assignments and assignment details
Drill into the details of each project they’ve been assigned
Submit requests from anywhere

Improved Learning Outcomes Will Speed Recovery From the COVID-19 Recession

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Improved math skills would raise the salary of workers by tens of thousands of dollars a year and would help the country rebound from a deepening COVID-19 economic freefall, according to research in a new white paper from The Learning Agency.

The major findings of

The major findings of The Learning Agency’s white paper are:

Better high school math skills could increase worker incomes by $21,000 per year
Improved reading and writing skills could result in an $11,000 increase in pay annually
Graduating with a high school diploma nets a worker an additional $7,000 in annual earnings

As the U.S. economy continues to retract–second quarter GDP fell 9.5 percent–and with states and local governments looking to cut education budgets, the white paper argues that increased learning would have a dual effect: It would boost earnings for workers while increasing tax collections by trillions of dollars.

«Education is one of the best strategies for recovering from an economic downturn,» said Ulrich Boser, founder of The Learning Agency and the paper’s author. «Now is the time for governments to increase spending on things like tutoring, not making deep cuts to services.»

To better understand the benefits of improved learning from critical thinking to metacognition, The Learning Agency conducted a study to look at how Americans’ incomes would grow as a result of better skills and education. The white paper drew from a 2015 National Bureau of Economic Research study that demonstrated workers could expect impressive increases in salary.

UK Solar Power Market Report 2020-2025 – Demand from the Residential PV Segment Will Be Severely Affected due to the Financial Uncertainty Faced by Customers Amid COVID-19

DUBLIN, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «UK Solar Power Market Outlook to 2025» report…

DUBLIN, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «UK Solar Power Market Outlook to 2025» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

In the last decade, solar power capacity has grown tremendously to become the fastest-growing source of renewable energy in the world. However, in 2019, around 109 GW of new solar PV capacity was added worldwide, about the same as in 2018. The rapid installations were primarily due to policy support and a sharp decline in technology costs and growing environmental concerns.

However, with the economic downturn induced by the outbreak of COVID-19, demand from the residential PV segment will be severely affected due to the financial uncertainty faced by the customers. Commercial and industrial installations are expected to be negatively affected as discretionary spending will be delayed, and preserving short-term cash flow will become a priority. Further, in the utility segment, supply chain disruptions and weaker investment will lead to delays in project commissioning.

According to the report, despite the slowdown expected in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic’s challenges, the outlook for solar remains strong in the medium term, and the market is expected to expand during the forecast period as the cost of generation from solar PV is increasingly becoming cheaper than its alternatives.

Study Coverage

This report provides a comprehensive analysis on the historical development, the current state of solar power installation scenario, and its outlook. Most of the insights in the report are derived from our proprietary databases, and offerings. The insights include but are not limited to the market data, installation data and capacity additions data, policies and regulations, project data, company profiles, and competitive landscape analysis.

The report covers market dynamics, growth potential of the photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) markets, economic trends, and investment and financing scenario in the UK. Further, the report looks at the current state and assesses the potential of residential, non-residential, and utility-scale solar PV deployment.

Ivanti Integrates Ivanti Neurons Platform with Splunk Security Operations Suite to Further Enable the Self-Healing Autonomous Edge

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Ivanti, the company that automates IT and Security Operations to discover, manage, secure and service from cloud to edge, today announced that the Ivanti Neurons™ Platform now integrates with the Splunk Security Operations Suite. Together, the solution enables organizations to realize an autonomous edge, which offers hyper-automated self-healing, self-securing and self-service capabilities. The solution is enabled by Ivanti’s integrations with Splunk Enterprise Security (SIEM) and Splunk Phantom (SOAR), two core components of the Splunk suite.

Ivanti Neurons integrates with the Splunk Security Operations Suite to allow for automated workflow from the endpoint into Splunk for analytics, correlation and response, culminating in automatic ticket creation in Ivanti® Service Manager. The end-to-end workflow also automates the discovery, security and servicing of endpoints by leveraging data analytics and correlations from Splunk Enterprise Security with Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager. The Ivanti Service Manager App for Splunk provides dashboard visualizations to discover insight into incidents, problems, tasks, change requests and configurable items.

«With the explosive growth of endpoints, edge devices and remote workers, IT operations and security teams need to apply advanced automation to improve workflow, auto-remediate security issues and enhance the remote user experience,» said Nayaki Nayyar, executive vice president and chief product officer, Ivanti. «By integrating the hyper-automated Ivanti Neurons platform with Splunk Security Operations Suite, we are taking a big step towards enabling truly self-healing autonomous edge so that enterprises can increase speed and accuracy of services delivered to end users.»

The Ivanti Neurons integration with the Splunk Security Operations Suite automates the discovery, management and security of broadly heterogeneous endpoint environments. Triggered alerts for endpoint events are analyzed, correlated with other security data and visualized in Splunk Enterprise Security. Prioritized endpoint events are automatically passed on to Splunk Phantom for enhancement and the automated generation of enriched remediation tickets in Ivanti Service Manager. This enables teams to fully automate the discovery, monitoring and servicing of a broad array of traditional and modern endpoints.

This Ivanti Neurons integration with the Splunk Security Operations Suite is available now for customers licensed on both solutions. Announced last month, Ivanti Neurons converges service management, endpoint management and security through a hyper-automation platform that lowers the cost, risk and complexity of delivering IT services, support and security while improving the user experience.
