Tether taps a Democrat as crypto bill teeters
With help from Daniel Lippman TETHER ADDS DEM LOBBYING SUPPORT: Crypto giant Tether is among the many financial interests that have tried but failed to get a landmark crypto bill through Congress and to President Donald Trump's desk — in part because of resistance from Democrats. Hoping for a better result as the bill comes up for a vote in the Senate, the El Salvador-based issuer of the top stablecoin in the world is boosting its Democratic representation on K Street. — Tether, known as a 'crypto darling' on the right, has brought on four lobbying firms so far this year, including Miller Strategies, Ridgeline Advocacy Group and Jucundus Business Services — additions that made its roster of hired guns overwhelmingly Republican. — Cue a Democratic newcomer. Lilette Advisors, the firm started last year by alumni of former President Joe Biden, began working for Tether on the GOP-led GENIUS Act beginning on May 6, according to a disclosure filing. Ankit Desai, who worked for Biden during his time in the Senate, is listed as the sole lobbyist on the account. — Days earlier, a group of pro-crypto Democrats abruptly announced their opposition to the bill, which would create the first federal regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies like stablecoins, which are pegged to the dollar. — Despite bipartisan support for the measure coming out of the Senate Banking Committee, top Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer raised a number of concerns — including its treatment of foreign issuers like Tether, which does not currently serve U.S. customers. — After tanking a procedural vote on the measure, Democrats won stronger anti-money laundering and foreign issuer provisions in the bill, leading several holdouts to vote to advance the amended version last week. It's set to come up for a final vote after the Memorial Day recess. MORE NEW BUSINESS: Prescription-drug discount provider GoodRx has resumed lobbying Washington and added a new outside lobbying shop. Gary Kline, who joined GoodRx in April to lead its D.C. office, registered this week as the platform's first in-house lobbyist since 2023, according to disclosure filings. — GoodRx has also hired Continental Strategy's Tim Costa and Chris Miles to 'advocate and facilitate meetings regarding digital platforms and healthcare costs' as the company gets into online over-the-counter drug sales.

TESLA UNCHAINED: 'Tesla late Wednesday criticized the Republican megabill for gutting clean energy tax credits, a message amplified by CEO Elon Musk hours after he announced he was leaving the Trump administration,' POLITICO's James Bikales writes. — ''Abruptly ending the energy tax credits would threaten America's energy independence and the reliability of our grid,' Tesla Energy, the company's solar and battery division, wrote on X.' — The division, which James writes 'has has seen faster growth and higher profits than its vehicle business in recent years,' urged senators to include 'sensible wind down' of residential solar and clean electricity investment credits from the Inflation Reduction Act in their changes to the House-passed reconciliation bill. — Musk, who said this week he's withdrawing from his role at DOGE, has previously supported ending all government subsidies — even arguing that Tesla would actually see a boost from the end of EV incentives. He 'later amplified [Tesla Energy's] message on his personal X account, along with a post from another user that said 'slashing solar energy credits is unjust.'' MORE LAYOFFS AT PURPLE: Brand reputation and public affairs firm Purple Strategies announced another round of layoffs this morning, just months after laying off 10 percent of its staff. — 'Political disruption, business uncertainty, financial pressures, and new rules of influence are reshaping the world,' Kristen Morgante, Purple's managing partner and COO, said in a post on LinkedIn, writing that social media and artificial intelligence have 'democratized' the 'ability to challenge power,' prompting the need for an overhaul of the firm. — Morgante said that Purple will be sharing 'new developments,' including new partnerships and predictive data capabilities, but noted that 'the very difficult part of this transformation is that it involves parting ways with several of our team members.' — The latest cuts did not come as a huge surprise to some in the firm, one person familiar with the matter told PI. In February, the firm laid off 18 staffers from its content, creative, media planning and buying teams, in what leaders said was meant to better position the company to compete in Washington. — But the changes foreshadowed as a result of those cuts didn't materialize, while new business slowed, according to the person. It's not clear how many employees were affected by the most recent cuts. Morgante did not respond to a request for comment. ICYMI — REMITTANCE TAX TRIGGERS FINTECH PUSHBACK: 'Industry groups representing fintechs, payment businesses and banks are dialing up their public opposition' to a provision in the House-passed reconciliation bill that would slap a new tax on remittances sent abroad by non-U.S. citizens, per POLITICO's Sam Sutton. — 'On its face, the measure raises revenue from immigrants who send money out of the country. Trump has suggested he'd like to 'shut down' the outward flow of funds sent by undocumented immigrants, and top Republicans like GOP Policy Committee Chair Kevin Hern of Oklahoma have identified those transactions as a way to boost funding for national security projects.' — In a letter to top congressional tax writers this week, the American Fintech Council argued the language 'would have a 'disproportionate impact on already-marginalized communities seeking to contribute to the U.S. economy' and expressed concerns about how it's inconsistent with existing state-level regulations,' Sam reports. — It 'represents an escalation in industry-level pushback to the controversial remittance tax. Many Wall Street and financial industry groups have refrained from airing their specific grievances with Trump's legislative agenda, but the AFC's missive suggests that opposition to major components of the bill will grow in the coming weeks as Senate lawmakers plan substantial revisions to the legislation passed by House Republicans.' — In another letter objecting to the provision sent Wednesday, AFC was joined by six other trade groups including another fintech lobby, the Financial Technology Association, and the Electronic Transactions Association, whose members include JPMorgan Chase and Visa. Jobs report — Lisa Costello is retiring from her role as vice president of political affairs at the National Multifamily Housing Council after 11 years with the trade group. — Kevin Barstow has joined O'Melveny as a partner in the health care practice and congressional investigations team. He was most recently senior counsel and assistant to Biden and is an HHS, Commerce Department, House Energy and Commerce and Senate Aging Committee alum. — Andy Slavitt will be co-chair of the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network Executive Forum. Slavitt was acting CMS administrator during the Obama administration and a senior adviser on the Biden White House's Covid response team. — Emmy Ruiz is joining Somos Votantes as senior adviser. She previously was senior adviser to the president and director of the office of political strategy and outreach in the Biden White House. — NewDEAL is adding Natasha Dabrowski as chief of staff, Christian Hall as press secretary and Alex Chanen as leader services manager. — Vedant Patel is now a senior vice president in SKDK's public affairs practice. He previously was principal deputy spokesperson at the State Department. — Preeya Noronha Pinto is joining DLA Piper as a partner in its health care practice.

If these items are in your medicine cabinet, it's time to throw them away. Here's how to do it safely.
Here's your friendly reminder not to overlook your medicine cabinet in your cleaning routine. Just like food, medications and supplements can expire, meaning the products hiding out in your home may not be as safe or effective as you think. "It's easy for expired medication to go unnoticed because people aren't always in the habit of proactively checking their medication's expiration dates," Stacia Woodcock, pharmacist and pharmacy editor at health care company GoodRx, told CBS News. "Ultimately it doesn't matter when you do your check-in as long as you do it regularly." Does expired medicine still work? Woodcock doesn't recommend taking medication after it's expired. "Expiration dates indicate how long a medication is guaranteed to do what it's designed to do safely. And they aren't arbitrary — expiration dates are determined through clinical studies to help ensure medication safety," she said. After an expiration date, medications can become less potent or even contaminated with bacteria. This could become dangerous in certain situations, Woodcock explained. For example, if someone has an asthma attack, taking an expired medication could prevent them from getting an effective dose. "That's why it's much better to proactively review your medications and make sure they're always safe and up-to-date," she said. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration agrees taking expired medications carries certain health risks, the agency also recognizes, in some cases, "testing has shown that certain properly stored medical products can be used beyond their labeled expiration date if they retain their stability." Some research has also shown certain medications can still be safe to take even if the potency has decreased. "It's true the effectiveness of a drug may decrease over time, but much of the original potency still remains even a decade after the expiration date," a 2019 study noted, adding there are some exceptions including insulin, liquid antibiotics and nitroglycerin, which is often used for chest pain. The Cleveland Clinic suggests keeping a few things in mind if you are considering taking an expired medication, including the type of drug. "Taking some expired ibuprofen for a headache is probably OK. But using expired insulin for diabetes or nitroglycerin for angina is a different story," the clinic says. The format of the drug is also important since liquid medications like eye drops, ear drops and antibiotics tend to grow bacteria more easily than solid pills, the clinic adds. And, the date of expiration should also considered. "Medicine that expired last week is different from one that expired months ago. The longer it's been expired, the more likely it isn't any good," the clinic says. For serious health conditions and prescription drugs, it's best to ask your health care provider for guidance. Where should you store medication? To keep medication in the best shape, store them somewhere cool and dry. "Contrary to the name, the bathroom medicine cabinet is actually a terrible place to keep medications," Woodcock said. "A kitchen cabinet or pantry is a much better option." If they aren't stored properly, medications can go bad before their expiration date, Woodcock warned. "So if the color, texture, or smell seems off, it's best not to take it," she said. "I also recommend storing medications out of reach from children and pets to avoid accidental ingestion." Can you use expired sunscreen? Sunscreen, a skin protection staple, also shouldn't be used after its expiration. While you may not consider it a medicine, it's important to dispose of it after the date listed due to effectiveness, according to the FDA. The FDA requires sunscreens to remain at its original strength for at least three years. So, if a sunscreen product doesn't have an expiration date, consider it expired three years after purchase. For storage, the FDA also recommends not exposing sunscreen containers to direct sun. Can you flush expired medications? "The best way to dispose of expired or unwanted medication is at a medication-take-back location," Woodcock said, adding many pharmacies and health care facilities have drop boxes for expired meds. Some medication can also be flushed down the toilet, but only if it's on the FDA's flush list, Woodcock added. "If you don't have a take-back location nearby, you can dispose of your medication in your household garbage. But you should remove it from the bottle and mix it with coffee grounds or kitty litter," she said, which also follows the FDA's guidance on disposal. "And be sure to remove any labels with personal information too." Medicine cabinet essentials If you need to restock your first aid after your cleaning spree, Woodcock suggested a few essentials to have on hand at home: First aid kit: This includes things like bandages, ice packs, antibiotic ointment and an ace bandage, which Woodcock said are "key items to have on hand." Back-up supplies: "If you're living with a chronic medical condition such as asthma, severe allergies, diabetes or epilepsy, prioritize replenishing the meds you would need in an emergency situation, like inhalers, glucose tablets or epipens," she added. Other essentials: Over-the-counter pain reliever and basic cough and cold products can also be helpful to have on hand, she said.

7 health insurance options to consider before leaving a job and coverage expires
7 health insurance options to consider before leaving a job and coverage expires Employment-based health insurance is the most common type of coverage in the U.S., so quitting a job is likely to affect your insurance status. It's a good idea to explore your insurance options before you quit your job and your coverage expires. If you don't plan properly, you could have a gap in coverage. You could also face high out-of-pocket costs for doctor visits, prescriptions, and emergency care-or delayed care or the lack of healthcare-during the time you don't have insurance. Proper planning could save you money and lead you to a health plan that's a good fit for you, GoodRx notes. It's important to know that you have options. If you intend to quit your job, keep reading to find out what you need to know to ensure that you continue to have access to health insurance. Key takeaways: If you have an employment-based insurance plan, coverage typically ends on your last day of work or the last day of the month in which you leave your may be able to retain coverage through your employer's health plan for 18 months or longer with COBRA, but this option is often on your age, income, and other factors, you may be eligible for an Affordable Care Act plan, Medicaid, or Medicare, or you may be able to join a relative's health plan. When you quit a job, what happens to your health insurance? In most cases, employment-based health insurance ends when you quit your job, but this depends on the type of coverage. For example, if your employer had 20 or more workers and offered group health insurance, you may be eligible to enroll in COBRA. COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) is a federal law that protects workers and families from losing health coverage because of certain job and family changes. GoodRx discusses the details of COBRA below. Employment-based health insurance is the most common kind of coverage in the U.S. About 60% of U.S. residents under age 65 were covered by employment-based health insurance in 2023, according to KFF. That means these individuals had private health insurance provided by an employer or a union. How long does health insurance last after quitting a job? If you have job-based insurance, your coverage usually ends on your last day of work or at the end of that month. The exact date depends on your health plan. Sometimes, you will have extended coverage if you leave as a retiree. It's important to plan ahead for health insurance coverage before your last day at work. If you're eligible for COBRA, you may be able to continue coverage under your employee health plan for 18 months or longer. 7 health insurance options to consider if you quit your job If you're quitting your job, you have many options for health insurance coverage. Your choices may include: 1. COBRA This federal law lets you extend your employee insurance up to 18 months (or longer in some states and under certain conditions) after quitting your job. COBRA can be costly because you have to pay your employer's portion of your premium in addition to what you were already paying. Some states also let your employer charge a 2% administrative fee. Typically, you can continue coverage under COBRA if you worked for a company with 20 or more employees (but not the federal government or a religious organization). Your spouse or partner and children covered by the plan also will be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, even if you don't sign up. Your former employer must give you at least 60 days from the date of your "election notice" (which alerts you to your options under COBRA) or from the date you would lose coverage, whichever is later, to enroll in COBRA. 2. Affordable Care Act plans The Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace offers a special enrollment period for people who have a qualifying life event, such as the loss of job-based health insurance. The special enrollment period usually begins 60 days before you expect to lose coverage and ends 60 days after your insurance stops. Marketplace plans may be less costly than COBRA. Coverage will vary, so shop around. 3. Medicare If you are at least age 65 or have a long-term disability, you may qualify for Medicare. Your special enrollment period lasts 8 months from the day you end employment or lose your insurance, whichever happens first. 4. Medicaid Did you have a low income while working? Did quitting your job reduce your family's income? Depending on your financial status, you may qualify for low-cost health insurance from Medicaid. Medicaid has 56 distinct programs administered by states, territories, and Washington, D.C., so eligibility varies depending on where you live. 5. Partner's plan You may be able to join the health insurance plan of a spouse or partner when your coverage stops. If your spouse or partner has employer-based health insurance, their plan will have its own rules for enrollment. For details, check with the insurance plan or the human resources contact at your significant other's employer. 6. Parent's plan If you are under age 26 and lose your job-based health insurance, a parent may be able to add you to their insurance plan as a dependent. If your parent has a job-based plan, you may be required to wait until the annual open enrollment period. If your parent has an ACA marketplace plan, you may qualify for a special enrollment period. Some plans even allow dependent coverage through or beyond the end of the year you turn 26. 7. Special plans Short-term insurance with limited benefits can be a good solution while you're between jobs. You may also consider alternative coverage options, such as fixed-indemnity, accident, high-deductible, and catastrophic insurance plans. If you're enrolled in college, you may have access to a campus-based health insurance plan. How do I choose a new health insurance plan after leaving a job? When selecting a new health plan, check the summary of benefits and coverage. You should consider the three D's: Doctors: If you want to continue seeing the same healthcare professionals, make sure they're in your new plan's If you take medications, check the plan's formulary to make sure those prescriptions are If there are tests you'll need to manage a chronic condition, check to see that those services are included in your new plan. How can I find out which insurance options cover my medications and health conditions? You can check a plan's summary of benefits and coverage for information about: DeductiblesOut-of-pocket limitsCopays and coinsurance for covered servicesCovered medicationsPrescription copays by medication tierPricing for visiting in-network and out-of-network providers What happens if I miss my ACA special enrollment period? If you miss your ACA special enrollment period-which lasts from 60 days before to 60 days after a qualifying life event, such as leaving a job-you will have to wait until the annual open enrollment period to buy a marketplace plan. ACA open enrollment is Nov. 1 to Jan. 15 in most states. Where you live will determine the ACA open enrollment period. The website is the national platform for Affordable Care Act health insurance information, and it's the enrollment portal for people in 31 states. The District of Columbia and 19 states have their own marketplaces and deadlines for ACA enrollment. If you miss your ACA special enrollment period, you may be able to sign up for one of the other insurance options mentioned above. Is there a difference in my insurance options if I'm fired, as opposed to quitting? Whether you quit your job or get fired, there typically isn't a difference in your insurance options. But you may be denied COBRA if you're terminated for gross misconduct. Your options may be slightly different if you retire from a job because some employers and unions have special insurance coverage for retirees. Medicare offers some guidance on questions you should ask if you qualify for this kind of coverage, which could provide you with supplemental insurance that functions, like a Medigap plan. Is an ACA plan less expensive than COBRA? ACA marketplace plans often cost less than COBRA for similar coverage, but not always. Depending on your income, you may qualify for a premium subsidy that will decrease the monthly cost of your ACA insurance, or you may opt for a premium tax credit on your annual tax return. In fact, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that 4 out of 5 people will be able to find a plan for $10 or less per month in 2025, though your options at that price may cover far less than your employer plan. COBRA requires you to pay the full cost of your coverage. With COBRA, you continue to pay the monthly premium as you did while you were employed, and you also pay the amount your employer was contributing. According to the KFF Employer Health Benefits 2024 Annual Survey, the average annual premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance were $8,951 for an individual employee and $25,572 for family coverage. Those premiums would come to about $746 monthly for a single employee and $2,131 a month for a family-and you would be responsible for the full cost under COBRA. Cost, however, may not be your only consideration. If you have met your deductible for the coverage year and have ongoing health issues, you may be better off paying for COBRA than switching to a new plan and having to meet a new deductible. That way, you can keep your doctors and may pay little out of pocket for your care, aside from your increased premium. Switching to another plan will reset all of your deductibles and may force you to find different healthcare professionals, which may be detrimental to your physical and financial health. Can I cancel COBRA mid-month? COBRA is month-to-month coverage that can be canceled anytime. If you decide to cancel, it's best to do so in writing. Once you stop the coverage, it cannot be reinstated. It's important to pay attention to timing if you intend to cancel COBRA. Before your COBRA coverage ends, make sure you know when you're eligible to sign up for your next plan. If you stop COBRA and want ACA or other group coverage, you usually won't be able to buy a plan outside the open enrollment period. Your COBRA coverage period needs to be exhausted for you to be eligible for an ACA special enrollment period. Can my former employer cancel COBRA coverage? COBRA coverage can be canceled if you miss a premium payment and don't send the money before the 30-day grace period ends. You may not be able to reinstate your coverage in this scenario. Your coverage also depends on that former employer continuing to offer group health insurance. You can be terminated from a COBRA plan if you reach the age to become eligible for Medicare while on COBRA. What happens to my COBRA coverage if I get a new job? Your COBRA coverage typically ends if your new employer offers health insurance benefits. But getting a new job doesn't automatically end your COBRA benefits. Typically, COBRA coverage ends when you sign up for insurance through your new job. COBRA is designed to help you maintain insurance coverage during a transition period when you don't have access to employer-sponsored health insurance. If you sign up for another employer's health plan, it replaces your COBRA coverage. You will not have to pay the COBRA premiums or rely on your former employer's plan for coverage if you sign up for health coverage with your new job. What happens to my ACA plan if I get a new job? Getting a new job may affect aspects of your ACA insurance, including: Subsidies and tax credits: ACA subsidies and tax credits are based on income limits. Increased income from your new job may affect your premium subsidy and raise your monthly cost for your health insurance-or affect your tax credits. You should report income and job changes to the marketplace You may no longer be eligible for ACA insurance once you have a job-based health insurance offer. If your new job does not offer group health insurance, you may remain eligible for an ACA plan. Frequently asked questions Can HR tell you the exact date you quit? Yes, your human resources representative should be able to tell you your employment termination date and the date your health insurance coverage will end. These dates may not be the same. How long does an insurance plan's coverage remain in force? Your insurance coverage should remain in force as long as you're eligible for coverage and premiums are paid. In the scenario of quitting a job, your coverage could end on your termination date (your last day of employment) or at the end of that month. Should I keep my employer health insurance when I retire? You may be able to keep your employer health insurance when you retire. Sometimes, retiree benefits provide better coverage than Medicare. Or you may be able to combine your retiree benefits with other insurance, such as Medicare, and use your retiree health plan as supplemental policy. The bottom line If you have employment-based insurance and intend to quit your job, it's important to consider your options for health insurance in advance. You may choose to extend your employer's coverage and pay the full premium by enrolling in COBRA. Depending on your age, income, and other factors, you may be eligible for public insurance options such as Medicare or Medicaid. You may also choose a private plan through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to join a parent's plan if you are under age 26 or enroll in your partner's plan. You may also consider buying a special or short-term plan with limited benefits. This story was produced by GoodRx and reviewed and distributed by Stacker. © Stacker Media, LLC.
