Will new EPA rule changes truly lower your grocery bill? Brandon Gomez reports that President Trump has delayed Biden-era EPA refrigerant rules, claiming it will save $2.4 billion to reduce grocery costs.

Wieder kein Hustensaft für dein Kind in der #Apotheke erhalten?

Wir wollen in einer offenen Diskussionsrunde herausfinden, warum das so ist, und welche Lösungen wir für die aktuellen Herausforderungen finden können.

Lasst uns am Mittwoch über die #Arzneimittelversorgung in der #Stadt und auf dem #Land besprechen in einer Policy Debate ab 20:00 Uhr am 11.02.2026 online:
