Fact: A single bill, with that alone in it never came before anyone for a vote. What all was in that bill that led to votes against it. Partial truth is no truth at all.

THou can buy over the counter insulin, no prescription needed at Wal-Mart for about $25 a vial. In the United States, human insulins such as NPH and Regular insulin (and 70/30 mixtures) are available OTC in every state except Indiana. Walmart's own ReliOn brand of insulin (manufactured by Novo Nordisk) is considerably less expensive than the branded human insulins sold at other pharmacy chains, at approximately $25.

Left unsaid : democrats are the majority in the House and Senate, and also have the Presidency.

Republicans are not needed to do anything they wish. In point of fact, there are quite a few democrats that are not going along with the insane wing of the party right now, not that you revealed that information.

Also, I thought liberals hated the spread of disinformation. Perhaps you can tell us why you are lying by omission?

Before you spew your verbal diarrhea, let me remind you it was President Biden rescinding President Trump’s executive order on insulin price relief that caused insulin prices to rocket back up in the first place.

I note you made a choice not to reveal this information, so another sin of omission on your part, Mr. Disinformation.

The criteria of Trump's last minute effort were ridiculous. As usual, it said a lot but had no substance.
The report from Health and Human Services:

"In the Federal Register notice rescinding the rule, HHS noted that the rule would have resulted in “excessive administrative costs and burdens” on health centers. Specifically, the agency took issue with the requirement that health centers would need to create and maintain new practices to determine patients’ eligibility to receive drugs at or below the discounted price paid by the health center, plus a minimal fee. HHS also noted its belief that the implementation of the Rule would have resulted in “reduced resources available to support critical services to health center patients – including those who use insulin and injectable epinephrine.

HHS further acknowledged concerns expressed “by the vast majority of commenters” that the “low income” definition of 350% of the federal poverty level would have “created significant administrative challenges for health centers” and that those challenges would have resulted in a diversion of resources from patient care in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic."

There Mr. Insurrection Mr. Big Lie. There is your information. Biden's plan was better. Better for ALL Americans, not just the extreme poor or the extreme wealthy. Grow a brain please.

By the way, remember when Trump disbanded all of Obama's infectious disease centers across the globe because he wanted to erase the Presidency of a black person? Those were the same disease centers that staved off an Ebola outbreak. But i guess you fell that 600,000 dead from Covid is a good thing. Right Mr. Insurrection?

So answer this you misanthrope.... Do you feel that capping insulin at $35 per month is a good thing for Americans? Forget the politics. Think about humans.

Wow. Your stupidity truly knows no bounds.

History has shown over and over again price controls DO NOT work. To believe they do is the province of fools - and here you are.

If price controls work, then any reasonable person - not you - would naturally assume we should put price controls on everything. We have not because everyone not you knows they do not work.

The only and logical result of artificially setting insulin prices drastically below market prices is insulin disappears from the market. When supply disappears prices rocket up.

Almost exactly what Crazy Joe did with gasoline prices. Prices shot up when Crazy Joe ordered pipelines shut down. American oil disappeared from the market and the price shot up.

It’s a concept so simple only liberals can’t understand it.

If you really believed that scheme would have worked, you are just too profoundly stupid to continue to talk to.

Allowing Trillion dollar drug companies to keep jacking up the prices of medications is not acceptable. Its a real problem. Insulin is 10 times more expensive in the US than anywhere else. I actually know someone who has to ration it. And the criteria for getting assistance is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! and near impossible unless you want to give up your house.

"For decades, the diabetes community in America has bore the exhausting weight of heavy insulin costs — the price of which nearly tripled between 2002 and 2013, according to an American Diabetes Association study. In fact, Americans have paid more than 10 times as much for insulin than Canadians do, according to a commentary published in the Nov. 7, 2019 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine."

Imagine...instead of giving tax breaks to the wealthy or a $2 Trillion "trickle down" welfare payment to the billionaires, we subsidize markets like Insulin so these drug companies don't lose anything. or perhaps dropping the criteria for assistance. And yes I know that is a mini version of Medicare for all, which makes me wonder why you are so against that. Why does conservatism not embrace humanity?

"the insane wing of the party??????" What wing is that? How is any wing of the Dem Party "insane?" Is that the way Fox refers to the Dem Party. Are you brainwashed?
How about the wing of the GoP that supports a lying fascist dictator who tried to kill his VP and overtake the government of the United States? Oh wait...thats no wing....almost all of them.
.
"Lie through omission?" Wow that is a stretch. Then are you a liar through omission when you ignore the fact that Trump said "Proud Boys stand back and stand by" whenever we confront you on the Proud Boys leading the charge to overthrow the government of the United States in the declared name of Trump and his Big Lie?

So go ahead. On record...tell us if my meme is a lie or if it is true.

Yes, it is a lie because you willingly made a choice to utterly strip the meme of anything resembling context or balance, Mr. Disinformation.

Lol...Someone from the right accusing ME of disinformation. You Trumpers are the absolute #1 undisputed and eternal champions of lies, misinformation, lies, more lies, Tucker lies, Trump lies, MTG lies, Matt Gaetz lies, lies lies, propaganda, conspiracy theory, insurrection, and more lies.

My meme was 100% accurate with nothing left out.
And that is what bothers you so much.
Oh...and BTW...Trump lost.

Still waiting for you to comment on Dementia Joe causing the train wreck on insulin prices. I guess you can’t face reality, so like all liberals you just run like hell when reality rears its ugly head.

I did answer. Look at your activity feed. Thank God for Biden.
Just like all Trumpers and traitors, you run like hell when confronted with the truth. Although once in a while you do stop, turn around, and hit us with conspiracy theories to explain why your conspiracy theories did not prove your original conspiracy theories.
