A cancer patient\u2019s courtroom victory against his health insurer, Pat Riley\u2019s offseason plans for the Miami Heat and new Pub Sub varieties at Publix are among the top stories from the Miami Herald on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Here are key takeaways:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Publix adds brisket to the Pub Sub lineup: Publix rolled out four new brisket-based deli items<\/a>, marking the first time brisket has appeared in the Pub Sub lineup. Popular Miami blogger Burger Beast found the $17.69 Spicy Brisket Sub underwhelming, writing the meat \u201cwas overly chewy\u201d and calling it \u201cone of Publix\u2019s weaker specialty sub launches.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cancer patient wins insurance fight in Miami court: A Miami-Dade judge ordered Oscar Health Insurance to authorize and pay for Pablo Langesfeld\u2019s recurring $48,500 oral medication<\/a> to treat his advanced pancreatic cancer after the insurer repeatedly denied coverage. Langesfeld\u2019s son Martin urged other families facing similar denials to keep fighting, saying, \u201cIf you are in a situation like we were, fight it, fight it because you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Riley vows to stay and build Heat around Adebayo: Heat president Pat Riley, 81, declared he will not retire or step aside<\/a> and gave \u201ca flat-out no\u201d when asked if he would consider trading Bam Adebayo. Riley described his mood as \u201cpissed\u201d and \u201cdisappointed\u201d after the Heat missed the playoffs for the first time since 2019 and said the team will aggressively pursue roster upgrades this offseason.<\/p>\n
