In March, nearly 40 individuals from across the country will meet with their legislators to urge Congress to take bipartisan action to prioritize the battle against antibiotic resistance: a looming global health threat that threatens the future of modern medicine. As part of The Pew Charitable Trusts’ Stand Up to Superbugs initiative, this year’s ambassadors include health care professionals, public health officials, scientists, farmers and ranchers, veterinarians, superbug survivors, and people who have lost loved ones to an antibiotic-resistant infection. They will meet virtually with federal agency leaders and members of Congress to share their superbug stories and expertise, and urge increased commitment and momentum to preserve the effectiveness of existing antibiotics and develop urgently needed new ones.
Another MEP targeted in 401(k) litigation, health care system sued
The Coca-Cola Bottlers Association this week was sued over fees and investments in its multiple employer plan. Former participants in a terminated 403(b) sponsored by a health care system also filed claims.

A participant in a multiple employer 401(k) available through the Coca-Cola Bottlers’ Association claims in a new lawsuit that excessive administrative and investment fees have eroded millions of dollars in savings within the plan.
The case is different from a 401(k) lawsuit brought last year against the largest U.S. Coca-Cola bottler. Instead, the new litigation targets the MEP used by 65 independent bottlers, representing at least the fifth such plan that has been sued over fiduciary claims in recent months.
