President Joe Biden’s United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday stopped executive orders from his predecessor designed to significantly lower prescription drug prices for Americans, including insulin and epinephrine.
The new administration will apparently re-evaluate the executive action from President Donald Trump toward the end of March. It remains unclear if it will be reinstated.
“The HHS Thursday froze the former Trump administration’s December drug policy that requires community health centers to pass on all their insulin and epinephrine discount savings to patients,” Bloomberg Law reported Thursday. “Centers that don’t pass on the savings wouldn’t qualify for federal grants.”

I suspect it’s from China but it’s the only insulin I can afford.😒
Kissing Joe Manchin’s @$$, his daughter is CEO of a epipen company.
Nope she stepped down when they started announcing investigations into her decision to triple epi prices.
It seems like every president and critter should ask themselves this every time they have legislation or decrees before them: how will this affect Americans and what will the long term effects be?
Isnt there a 6-9 month shelf life? $300 a pop?
They won't do it again. More allies for the Freedom Party when it gets started.
If there's a Civil War II, it's among all the factions in the Demoncrat Party. Like one of those kinetic sculptures so popular in the '70s which would destroy itself once set in motion. Pass the popcorn, please.
You said it right - Coma Joe & Karma Hoe will have the USA & us all in a grave in less than a year!
You left out the “Safe Schools Act” which turned schools into sitting duck zones aka “Gun-free zones”.
Big Pharma is extremely politically active and probably paid Biden mega-millions to do this.
It seems that the only question they ask themselves is “How will this legislation benefit me?”
HOw can HHS do this without a further EO?
How can that be Constitutional?
Or is this administration far beyond that?
I guess he thinks democrats don’t use epi pens and insulin. What an ass.
All this out of childish spite against Trump.
We are now ruled by eight year old children throwing temper tantrums.
Exactly. Throw Nancy in there as the biggest child of them all.
Manchin would never leave the democrats. He’s in the car birds seat as far as demanding more graft and bigger payoffs. As the only “moderate swing” vote (yeah, right) he could appear to waiver while demanding more and more from leadership.
Packaging reads "Manufactured by Novo Nordisk A/G DK-2880 Bagsvaerd Denmark." Same as the Novolog I am issued under prescription by my insurance company's online pharmacy. I buy the Walmart product to supplement the official medical establishment ration, which is barely enough to get me from one month to the next. I feel a lot more secure knowing I've got a few months' extra in the fridge in case of ????
The only thing worse than a liberal is a “moderate” for sale to the highest bidder.
Where are the quickly filed suits for stay orders from friendly judges? Or is it only the left that judge shops to stop Trump orders?
I’m on Humalog Flexpen 30/28, more now with the dexamethasone RUNNING my BS UP. LOST MY HEARING LAST FRIDAY MENIERE’S ATTACK. 3 INFUSIONS DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH I’LL GET BACK EST. 70%. TRICARE LIFE $29.00 3 months. Haye to think what retail is.
West Virginia is fast becoming a solid RED state. Screwing over union workers (War on Coal) is one big reason.
When does Manchin come up for election again?
BINGO BEFORE THE ELECTION
