Welcome to the D.C. Rap Up, a weekly rundown of the most important health policy stories. Cleavon Gilman, MD, an emergency physician in New York City, remixes the news and drops the beats to catch you up with what's up.

Here are the lyrics for this week's edition:

This week on the DC Rap Up

Insulin will be easier to adjust

'Cause Medicare loosened matters

On continuous glucose data

And prescriptions, will be easier to read that

FDA gave labels much needed revamps

Relax now that research finds it's

Wasteful to test blood for Zika virus

Besides this, Alkermes was quick to mention

Long-acting injectable for schizophrenics

So on day one you can get control

With PO and IM aripiprazole

In home healthcare was readdressed

When re-cert was simplified by CMS

No kidding, physicians won't believe

Changes to duration of future needs

On the other hand, there'll be a bunch of furor

Once they freeze risk adjustments to insurers

The outcome is an easy one

Shortfall likely means higher premiums

Other news came in over the week

When Azar called for change in 340B

To ensure those with low-income funds

Get the best price on prescription drugs

Last but not least, the battle starts

For Supreme Court, with Brett Kavanaugh

Expect the nominee to be closely gazed

Given the ACA and Roe v. Wade

This just in ... literally!

CMS to revise physician fees

Means more time with patients and assessing

And less frustrated with documenting

In the meantime, won't be easy to relax!

See you next week on the DC recap
