MODERATORS
 
  • Former President Donald Trump recognized that the price of insulin is lower under President Joe Biden but still tried to take credit for it.

  • Trump spent much of his term trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which covers roughly 45 million Americans, without offering an alternative health-care option.

The issue is some people have become tricked I to thinking of you don't like Biden then you have to support trump.

It's an easy way for the wealthy to stop the country from moving left.

Instead of listening and thinking, you just scream "MAGA" if someone doesn't say Biden is FDR.

The same shit trumpers do.

Likely all comes back to the conservative billionaire from WBs board saying he wants to make CNN more like Faux News. So the "moderates" act like Republicans.

Faux News was created to get republicans voters to the point where they'd never hold a Republican accountable...

It's been two years, and the moderate CNN watchers are excusing genocide at our border, in the Middle East, and openly denying reality...

I can admit when I'm wrong, I didn't think "moderates" would fall for it, I thought they'd just stop watching CNN.

If you don't like being painted as a reich-winger, maybe stop repeating reich-wing talking points and try to think for yourself?

...

Mate, just read the article...

For Trump’s part, the former president signed an executive order in the last year of his administration to issue his own $35 price cap on insulin. Biden later paused that policy when he took office as part of a larger freeze to allow his administration to review new regulations set to go into effect.

If anyone is acting like trumpets, it's the ones ignoring reality

He only capped it for 1750 patients for 1 year. Biden got it done for everyone

Yep, I'm never a fan of means testing, and that was included in it. Not sure where your numbers are coming from since you didn't link it tho.

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/07/trumps-executive-orders-on-prescription-drugs/

Another executive order pertains to insulin and epinephrine. It calls on the HHS secretary to require Federally Qualified Health Centers, or FQHCs, to make those drugs available at low prices to low-income individuals who don’t have health insurance or have high cost-sharing for those drugs.

More specifically, the order aims to have the FQHCs, which provide primary care in underserved areas, offer the drugs to those individuals “at the discounted price paid by the FQHC grantee or sub-grantee under the 340B Prescription Drug Program” plus a “minimal” fee. The 340B program enables certain entities to buy drugs at discounted prices.

Unfortunately that's still the case...

The Inflation Reduction Act, which Biden signed in 2022, caps out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 a month for Medicare enrollees. The cap took effect in 2023. In response, three drug manufacturers said they planned to reduce the price of insulin to $35 through price caps or savings programs.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/apr/02/joe-biden/biden-is-right-about-35-insulin-cap-but-exaggerate/

But even if it did do what Biden claims, why pause Trump's for years?

What about those people that got it under Trump's means testing and under Biden's means testing?

Why did Biden not want them to be covered under Trump's in the meantime?

I'm legitimately trying to find out why, and I'm just not getting any answers.
