Biden administration sides with Florida on Canadian drug imports

President Joe Biden’s administration Friday night filed a motion in federal court seeking to dismiss a lawsuit that aims to prevent prescription drug imports from Canada — a plan Florida is lobbying to utilize. The Biden administration’s motion essentially sides with Florida and New Mexico, the only other state that has formally started the process of applying for Canadian imports. The motion asks a federal court in Washington to toss a lawsuit from the Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America, which represents brand-named drug producers, against the Department of Health and Human Services.

Florida Supreme Court rejects challenge to medical marijuana law

Siding with the state in a closely watched case that has kept the cannabis industry in limbo, the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a 2017 law designed to carry out a constitutional amendment that broadly legalized medical marijuana. The court’s 42-page ruling came in a drawn-out legal battle launched by Tampa-based Florigrown LLC, which, in part, challenged the state’s system of requiring licensed medical marijuana operators to handle all aspects of the cannabis business, including, growing, processing, distributing and selling products.

Healthy Kids program ready to revisit dental contracts

After a year delay because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a state children’s health insurance program is putting its dental services out for bid. Members of the Florida Healthy Kids Corp. Board of Directors met Thursday in Orlando and approved publishing an “invitation to negotiate” for dental coverage in the Florida Healthy Kids program. Staff members didn’t give a precise publication date for the invitation but said the goal is to have negotiations completed and decisions made by the end of this year so coverage can be in effect by July 2022.

Florida’s Coronavirus positivity rate lowest since summer surge

Florida’s coronavirus positivity rate dipped to the lowest levels it’s been in close to a year. Health News Florida began tracking the daily percentage of new positive cases in late July, when infection numbers were surging and rates neared 15%. The 3.2% reported by the Florida Department of Health on Thursday is the lowest since at least that time, and likely since before cases started rising in June. [Source: Health News Florida]

Should your kids get a COVID vaccine? Florida doctors weigh in

As Florida schools break for summer, mass vaccination sites shutter operations and mask mandates end, doctors and health officials worry that many eligible 12- to 17-year-olds will decline the shots, leaving them — and the grown-ups they live with — vulnerable. “Really, there’s no good reason not to vaccinate children, because they’re going to continue to be exposed to this virus in the months and years to come,” said Dr. Federico Laham, medical director for pediatric infectious diseases at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. “This virus is not going to go away.” [Source: Orlando Sentinel]
