Fort Worth pharmacy exposes wild drug price gap

A local Fort Worth pharmacy just pulled back the curtain on a jaw-dropping reality: a cancer pill they sell for $17 cash is being billed to Medicare for $2,400. The owners say this isn’t a fluke—it’s how the system is set up, with pharmacy benefit managers and insurance rules creating huge markups. Folks around town are now double-checking prices, and the story’s gone viral among independent pharmacists nationwide. This has reignited the debate about who really benefits from these pricing games—and who ends up paying the price. Would you trust your insurance to get you the best deal? #Health #BodyHealth #FortWorth

Fort Worth’s skyline owes its flair to one eccentric genius

Wyatt C. Hedrick’s legacy is all over Fort Worth—think the Will Rogers complex, T&P Terminal, and Carter Riverside High. But what really sets him apart isn’t just his Art Deco masterpieces; it’s how he lived. Despite owning four Cadillacs, Hedrick preferred hitching rides across Texas, even sneaking past tollbooths to catch a lift. His approach to architecture was just as unconventional, teaming up with designer Herman Koeppe to create some of the city’s most iconic buildings. It’s wild to think how much of our daily scenery comes from one man’s quirks and vision. Which Hedrick building do you think defines Fort Worth? #Entertainment #Painting #FortWorth
