Insulin price skyrockets as Biden's executive order cancels Trump's insulin cost reduction
Local | May 12, 2021 | From The Deer Stand

Posted on 05/12/2021 7:24:13 PM PDT by From The Deer Stand

Diabetics who require insulin for survival are finding outrageous costs after Biden rescinded President Trump's insulin cost reduction plan. One patient, Anna , saw her insulin costs rise from $50 per bottle to $300 per bottle. She now spends $1200 out of pocket per month to stay alive. Where is the media coverage on Biden's assault on diabetics? Why aren't legislators screaming about this injustice? Those are questions that Anna and her fellow diabetics are asking.

If President Trump handed out candy to children, Biden would be taking that candy from their hands just for the sake of opposing everything Trump did.

Of course they are. They will never criticize Xiden.

This is proof of the reactionary nature of Biden is that he will cancel a Trump policy because it was a Trump policy. That it made people’s lives better is irrelevant. Making it doubly sad is the press plays right along because they believe the same.

Diabetes is far,far more common among minorities than whites...at least in the US. Yet another example of the racism that is today’s (and yesterday’s) Rat Party.

“One of the frozen rules includes a Health and Human Services regulation that would force community health centers to pass along 340B Program federal discounts on insulin to low-income patients. The rule was supposed to go into effect January 22, but has now been delayed until late March.”

It is now May.

The media made sure that Trump got no credit for anything he did. And he did a lot of good things, amazing things that people loved.

Now Biden's staff (he doesn't make decisions himself, of course) is being super petty and canceling all the things Trump did - and almost all of them were good. So Biden's only actions thus far are canceling good things. Pain is growing everywhere, nothing positive coming from his administration. Eventually even the most dense leftard will say "this adminstration sucks". But the damage will be done.

It almost seems hopeless at times. We would need a reserve of many billions of dollars in funds to keep ads running regularly to inform the public of the actual news.

“The final rule also changed how it considers a low-income individual as at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. However, centers already use a different income threshold of 200% of the poverty level to apply federal requirements for sliding fee discount schedules.”

The real fight is over community health center fee discounts.

The insulin price cut delay is mainly ‘collateral damage’.

Ana just has the wrong disease. Now, if she needed hormone blockers, I’m sure Bid*n would be saving her a fortune.

I’ve seen headlines about high insulin prices for many months. Evil.

This is Trump’s fault. He forced Joe Xiden to sign that executive order knowing it would make Xiden look bad!

He also forced Xiden to sign orders closing the Keystone pipeline on his first day in office.
