U.S. Government Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit for $1 Million After Suicide Outside Georgia VA Medical Center

Bertling Law Group

The estate of a Navy veteran, who died by suicide after he was denied medical treatment at a Department of Veteran’s Affairs medical center, recently negotiated a $1 million settlement with the U.S. government as compensation for the 35 days of pain and suffering the veteran experienced before his death. The lawsuit, filed by the Bertling Law Group on behalf of the estate of Gary Steven Pressley, continues against Bobby Dodd Institute, an independent contractor responsible for operating the switchboard at the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center. The lawsuit alleges that Pressley’s family notified an employee of Bobby Dodd Institute that Pressley was in the parking lot with a loaded gun and intended to shoot himself. The lawsuit states that employee Elaine Carswell did not call the onsite VA police who could have reached Pressley in minutes with officers trained to deescalate such situations. Pressley died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the parking lot of the VA Medical Center. According to the lawsuit, Pressley’s referral to a pain specialist was never scheduled and he experienced excruciating pain after being denied pain medication previously prescribed by a community pain specialist. Pressley took his own life after his VA primary care physician negligently reduced his pain medication and failed to ensure he saw a new community pain management specialist in a timely fashion. Pressley’s referral to the pain specialist was never scheduled because the VA employee responsible for processing the appointment was overworked, overwhelmed and her department was understaffed. Pressley was honorably discharged from the United States Navy with an exemplary record following a tragic car accident that left him with serious injuries to his legs, hip, pelvis, and back. He required assistance to walk and managed considerable pain daily. He had previously been seen by a community pain specialist who was referred through the VA and his life had improved considerably. The community pain specialist stopped treating veterans because the VA was not paying for her services. Pressley was furthering his education and making plans to lead a long and healthy life when the VA failed to assign him a new pain specialist. His condition deteriorated because he did not receive needed prescription pain medicine for several weeks. He reached a breaking point on April 5, 2019 and shot himself in the chest. According to attorney Peter Bertling, Pressley’s death was imminently preventable. “Gary Steven Pressley served his country admirably and had been on a path to lead a long and happy life before the negligence of the Bobby Dodd Institute brought his life to a tragic close,” said Bertling. “Had Ms. Carswell paid attention to the family’s direct warnings, Pressley would still be here today.” Bertling Law Group can help you access all available resources for compensation. Prior to providing veteran advocacy, our attorneys spent three decades defending hospitals, nurses, and doctors accused of wrongdoing, helping to spare insurance companies millions of dollars in unsubstantiated damages. We now use that insight to help injured patients recover the damages to which they are entitled.

American Kidney Fund Commends the U.S. House of Representatives for Including Provisions for Kidney Patients in the Build Back Better Act

American Kidney Fund

The American Kidney Fund (AKF) applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for including provisions in the Build Back Better Act that will help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure (end-stage renal disease, or ESRD). “Access to affordable, comprehensive health insurance and primary care physicians is the first step to ensuring that CKD is found early, which can provide kidney patients with early interventions that can slow or halt the progression of the disease,” said LaVarne A. Burton, President and CEO of the American Kidney Fund. “Enhancing Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits and strengthening the Medicaid program so more people in the United States can access affordable health insurance has been a longstanding policy priority of AKF. We are so pleased to see these provisions in the Build Back Better Act, as they will help kidney patients who rely on Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance.” Medicaid, which currently provides health coverage for one in five low-income individuals, plays a vital role in helping people prevent and manage chronic health conditions. Expanding Medicaid is an important step in helping people with CKD and ESRD. Compared to states that did not expand Medicaid, people living in states that expanded the program had lower mortality rates after going on dialysis and more patients were preemptively placed on the transplant list so they could be on dialysis for a shorter time. Medicaid expansion also resulted in improved measures of blood pressure and glucose, which is meaningful because diabetes and hypertension account for 75% of new cases of kidney failure. The Build Back Better Act includes a provision that would provide access to ACA coverage to individuals who live in states where there is a coverage gap because the state did not expand Medicaid. These individuals have incomes too high for Medicaid, but too low to qualify for ACA tax subsidies. The Build Back Better Act would expand ACA tax credits until 2025 to the lower income threshold, so they could gain access to health insurance. Additionally, AKF advocated for increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), which is the federal portion of the federal-state funded program of Medicaid. The Build Back Better Act would expand FMAP from 90% to 93% from 2023 to 2025. As many states are facing budget shortfalls due to the COVID-19 pandemic, states could roll back Medicaid services. The additional funding is necessary to better ensure people retain access to the health care services they need. Access to medically-appropriate prescription drugs for kidney patients must be preserved amid federal efforts to address the rising cost of prescription drugs. Patients with CKD, ESRD and who are living with kidney transplants rely on prescription drugs to manage their kidney disease and comorbidities. Most people in the U.S. who are on dialysis are on Medicare, and AKF supports policies that would result in lower drug costs and lower out-of-pocket costs for them, including a restructuring of the Medicare Part D benefit that creates a true out-of-pocket cap for beneficiaries with a smoothing mechanism. The Build Back Better Act includes a $2,000 cap. Patients who reach that $2,000 prescription drug cap in the first month will have a mechanism to pay that $2,000 over the course of months to ensure affordability. The ACA expanded access to health insurance for millions of Americans, which has helped CKD patients receive early interventions to slow the progression of their disease. AKF supports expanding advanced premium tax credits (APTCs) so insurance is more affordable. The American Rescue Plan expanded APTCs to those who make more than 400% of poverty and capped insurance premium costs to 8.5% of the income. The Build Back Better Act would extend these provisions until 2025. The provision will allow millions of Americans to retain their health insurance, which is vital for those with diabetes, heart disease, CKD and ESRD. ### About the American Kidney Fund The American Kidney Fund (AKF) fights kidney disease on all fronts as the nation’s leading kidney nonprofit. AKF works on behalf of the 37 million Americans living with kidney disease, and the millions more at risk, with an unmatched scope of programs that support people wherever they are in their fight against kidney disease—from prevention through transplant. With programs that address early detection, disease management, financial assistance, clinical research, innovation and advocacy, no kidney organization impacts more lives than AKF. AKF is one of the nation’s top-rated nonprofits, investing 97 cents of every donated dollar in programs, and holds the highest 4-Star rating from Charity Navigator and the Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar.

ATAP ACTION NETWORK PHYSICIANS & PATIENT ADVOCATES MEET WITH CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES

Alliance for Transparent & Affordable Prescriptions

Today, physician and patient advocates on behalf of the Alliance for Transparent and Affordable Prescriptions (ATAP) Action Network (AN) will meet virtually with congressional lawmakers’ offices as part of its 2021 Capitol Hill Day. In these meetings, ATAP member organizations are advocating for lowering prescription drug prices for their patients by bringing accountability to the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) industry. ATAP is an active advocate for patients in federal and state battles to amplify the voices of patients and physicians – especially as it relates to exposing PBM abuses and the impact on access to therapies (medications) needed for the treatment of patients. In the meetings today, ATAP AN will speak to congressional offices about three pieces of legislation, including: the PBM Accountability Study Act (H.R. 1829/S. 298), the Drug Price Transparency Act (S. 1523), and the Prescription Pricing for the People Act (S. 1388). “We are proud to bring policymakers the voices of patients and providers, two groups grossly underrepresented in the drug pricing debate’” said Dr. Robert Levin, the President of ATAP. “These voices from our members, combined with supporting advocacy organizations, and individuals fearing drug cost affordability, will surely inspire national leaders to take action to fix problems created by the PBM industry.” ATAP AN will meet with congressional member offices from Florida, Wisconsin, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Maryland, and California. Michael Schweitz, President of ATAP Action Network and Member of the Florida Society of Rheumatology, stated, “Officials in Washington understand that our members, those on the front lines of medical care, offer a valuable perspective. We see the struggles and confusion that patients are put through by this completely unnecessary middleman industry. We appreciate to opportunity to share these experiences and help more legislators see the light – and shine it on the PBMs.” Several ATAP member organizations are participating in meetings including, the American College of Rheumatology, the Coalition of State Rheumatology Organizations, Lupus and Allied Diseases Association, Inc., and many others. Kathleen A. Arntsen President & CEO of Lupus and Allied Diseases Association, (an ATAP member organization) stated, "As a patient-led organization representing those facing serious health conditions, we have direct experience with the frustration in struggling to access affordable and appropriate treatments due to PBM interference. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share this information with elected officials and are hopeful that they will stand with patients and support fair drug pricing legislation that holds the PBM industry accountable." “PBMs generate significant profits while patients struggle to afford the cost of care,” said Steven Newmark, Director of Policy at the Global Healthy Living Foundation (an ATAP member organization). “We will show elected officials and policymakers what is really happening in exam rooms, and the stress patients experience due to PBM interference. There is a better way.” Updates from the meetings will be shared at https://atapadvocates.com/ and on Twitter with the hashtag, #ATAPHillDay21. About ATAP ATAP was created in 2017 with a mission to address prescription drugs costs and patient access to affordable treatment by regulating PBM practices and reforming the drug industry through educational outreach and grassroots advocacy initiatives at both the state and federal levels. Driven by the reality that many patients struggle to afford their medications, the physician and patient advocacy organizations joined to shine a light on the abusive practices of PBMs. ### To schedule an interview with an ATAP spokesperson please contact Dan Rene of kglobal at 202-329-8357.

New Options to Treat Alcohol Use Disorder

YourUpdateTV

Nearly 15 million Americans have alcohol use disorder and 75 million engaged in binge drinking or heavy alcohol use in the month before a survey conducted by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. This problem has not been solved…yet. Hope for a solution is one of the big stories coming out of the Wonderland Conference, the largest psychedelic business event, ever. YourUpdateTV spoke with Awakn Life Sciences CEO, Anthony Tennyson who discussed the problem. “Alcohol addiction is a chronic disease effecting many millions of Americans each year. The success rates for treatments are typically quite low though. Three out of four people are back drinking alcohol within 12 months of seeking treatment. There is, however, a new hope. Psychedelic assisted therapy has been proven to be more effective at treating alcohol addiction than any other currently available treatment.” Awakn Life Sciences Corp. (NEO: AWKN) (OTCQB: AWKNF) (FSE: 954) (‘Awakn’), a biotechnology company developing and delivering psychedelic therapeutics (medicines and therapies) to treat addiction, recently announced that the ‘Ketamine in the Reduction of Alcoholic Relapse’ (KARE) psychotherapy intervention study, which was the first controlled study in the world to investigate ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, will be published in the American Journal of Psychiatry later this year. Professor David Nutt, former Clinical Director of the US National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and currently Clinical Director at Awakn commented. The approach we’re taking is to use new medicines to disrupt the brains processes of addiction to allow people to escape from the repetitive cravings and which tie them to the alcohol and and also with therapy to help them plot a new path in their lives. About Awakn Life Sciences Corp.: Awakn Life Sciences is a biotechnology company with clinical operations, developing and delivering psychedelic therapeutics (medicines and therapies) to better treat addiction. Awakn’s team consists of world leading chemists, scientists, psychiatrists, and psychologists who are developing and advancing the next generation of psychedelic drugs, therapies, and enabling technologies to treat addiction.
