At least not until you hear this next story. Buying new appliances can really cost you a pretty penny. How about a brand new refrigerator for 2000 bucks? A lot of homeowners these days when an appliance goes on the fritz just spring for a new one. They just assume that oh you know this thing's broken. But that's not always the case says Kevin Brasler with Washington Consumer's Checkbook. He will tell you fixing an could appliance save you money in the long run. Usually most homeowners were happy with what we have. It works well for us. We're happy with the features and most importantly if the unit's been reliable already for five to eight years or more there's no reason to think that it won't continue to work reliably for many more years to come.

And we have reached out to members of the DC council for comment. Hospitals have been dealing with a shortage of some cancer drugs for months. So, what's the situation now?

The shortages of some critical cancer drugs are getting better, he says, but Benblastin, which is used to treat some blood short supply. The shortage, according to Deacon, is the result of one manufacturer filing for bankruptcy coupled with labor shortages in supply costs. And there are consequences for patients. We had to prioritize for a brief period patients who were undergoing curative cancer treatment versus those that were undergoing treatment to help prolong their life but were not curative. But doctors are always prepared. We have a plan B or plan C that most of the times are equally effective but they might have more side effects. Scott Gellman, WTOP News.
