Madison Muller | Bloomberg News (TNS) Eli Lilly & Co. is now selling vials of its blockbuster weight-loss drug Zepbound to patients for as little as $399 a month as it works to overcome supply shortages of wildly popular shots. Patients with a prescription for Zepbound can purchase a month’s supply of single-use vials through Lilly’s direct-to-consumer site starting Tuesday, the company said in a statement. The vials are priced at about half of what shots cost, with a higher dose going for $549 a month. Zepbound is typically sold in an auto-injector pen. With vials, patients need to fill syringes on their own but it saves Lilly production time, allowing more patients to get the drug. The move is part of Lilly’s “all hands on deck” effort to ramp up supply of Zepbound and a similar drug for diabetes called Mounjaro amid widespread shortages, Executive Vice President Patrik Jonsson said in an interview. It also offers uninsured patients a cheaper option for weight-loss shots that

Fall colors peaking all over Colorado, from Steamboat Springs to Durango

Gas up the car and pack some snacks, because this is the weekend to head for the hills if you’re a devoted Colorado leaf-peeper. Most of the state is at or near peak, according to observers from north of Steamboat Springs all the way down to Durango. And, as predicted, it’s turning out to be an exceptional fall for foliage. “People hesitate to say, ‘This is the best I’ve ever seen,’ but I think you can safely say it really doesn’t get much better than this,” said longtime Breckenridge resident C.J. Mueller. “This weekend is going to be nuts.” The Eagle Valley is seeing similar explosions of colors. “Even our deciduous trees that aren’t aspen are starting to turn,” said Linda Hiatt, a volunteer at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens in Vail. “I’d say it would be best if people came this weekend, in the Eagle Valley. We’ve got yellows, reds – it’s just stunning everywhere.” Here’s a quick round-up from folks around the state, working north to south: North of Steamboat “Two days ago was

House Republicans pass US debt bill, push Biden on spending

By LISA MASCARO and KEVIN FREKING (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans narrowly passed sweeping legislation Wednesday that would raise the government’s legal debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion in exchange for steep spending restrictions, a tactical victory for Speaker Kevin McCarthy as he challenges President Joe Biden to negotiate and prevent a catastrophic federal default this summer. Biden has threatened to veto the Republican package, which has almost no chance of passing the Democratic Senate anyway, and the president has so far refused to negotiate over the debt ceiling which the White House insists must be lifted with no strings to ensure America pays its bills. But McCarthy’s ability to swiftly unite his slim majority and bring the measure to passage over opposition from Democrats and even holdouts in his own party gives currency to the Republican speaker’s strategy to use the vote as an opening bid forcing Biden into talks. The two men could hardly be further a
