Democrats NEVER looked out for the elderly and disabled, but they ran campaign ads that made it seem like Republicans were out to get them.

Not the same thing at all- there has never been a time when Democrats were not liars.

Franklin D. Roosevelt - A limited form of the Social Security program began as a measure to implement "social insurance" during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when poverty rates among senior citizens exceeded 50 percent, there was a time democrats did look out for seniors - long ago before they took up the mantle of Minorites and alphabet people. My disabled cousin is on a social program implemented by democrats , so he can get food and meds. Democrats were not always retarded like they are now.

I understand your point, but I would remind you that those same Democrats gave us the Democrats of today. Their social programs beyond SS brought us to this point, and I believe it was always orchestrated to do so. Of course, many of yesterday's Democrats would be more at home in today's Republican Party, and maybe things would be different had they been able to see where things ended up.

They only cared about the elderly to ram Obamacare down our throats. Once they shoved that pile of caca on us they were done with the elderly. Now they just put COVID-19 patients in senior assisted living homes to kill them off. Then they lie about the number that they killed so it doesn't sound so bad.

I don't know the exact number. It is the 10's of thousands. I saw a headline but I never clicked on it to read it that said Cuomo had the total death under reported. Of course the mainstream media is more than willing to do whatever a Democrat tells them to do.

There is a danger to just trusting a headline. I have been burned by headlines saying one thing and the article saying something else. So I should have clicked on it to be sure.

He froze a Trump executive order related to drug prices, but the action had no effect on current insulin prices, because the Trump policy hadn't actually taken effect. It was set to kick in on January 22, two days after the White House announced its regulatory freeze.

The Trump rule was also narrowly targeted and would not apply to most Americans anyway.

Here's the National Association of Community Health Centers statement:

"President Biden has frozen a Trump-era regulation that would adversely impact Community Health Centers and the nearly 30 million patients they serve – a majority of whom are living in poverty or are uninsured. The regulation, which was based on an Executive Order issued last July, was based on a fundamental misunderstanding that would have imposed extensive administrative burdens and targeted EpiPens and insulin dispensed by health centers and purchased under the federal 340B drug discount program. The stated aim was to cut drug prices. However, it triggered alarm among safety-net health care providers and bipartisan lawmakers because it would accomplish the opposite of what the Trump Administration intended — ultimately making it harder for health centers to provide affordable life-saving services and prescription drugs — especially during the pandemic. To be clear, the insulin and Epipen regulation that was frozen by the Biden Administration only affects medications purchased through the 340B drug discount program at health centers. THE OVERALL PRICES OF INSULIN AND EPIPENS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OR THE RECENT ACTION BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
We are deeply grateful the Biden Administration put the brakes on such a harmful rule within hours of taking office."

So, are you gonna admit you were wrong? Or.
