Donald Trump

LMDO !
They scuttled his bill to do EXACTLY THAT, FIRST, And it was Cheaper too !

Nobody 'scuttled' anything - the Trump Administration didn't have a bill, it established through executive order a voluntary, time-limited (valid only from 2021-2023) model known as the Part D Senior Savings Model, in which plans would need to cover at least one of each dosage form and type of product at the $35/mo price point.

Less than half of Part D plans chose to participate in that program.

Biden signed, as part of the Infrastructure Reduction Act, a law that requires all Part D plans to charge no more than $35/mo for all covered insulin products, and limits cost sharing to $35/mo on Part B plans. This took effect last year, and is permanent.

Trump likes to announce things, but he has little to no ability to follow anything through - it was true on 'Lock Her Up', it was true on 'Build The Wall', it was true on '$35 insulin', and it's just as true on tax-free tips.

Yes, that is the time-limited, voluntary model I described that fewer than half of Part D plans participated in.

Like most things, it made for a flashy press release, but didn't solve anyone's problem which is why it was mandated as part of the IRA.

Biden does the price cap executive order every year…

Every year except this one, because he signed it into law last year.

I don’t really care about insulin. I care more about energy policy. If we have a great energy policy then everything else will be better

The point is you can have the best policy in the world, and it won't matter if the administration you pick to enact it is incapable of doing so.

We produce more oil now than at any point during Trump's administration, and that's before you consider the other energy sources that are growing exponentially since he was run out of office.

I don’t think a price cap is a good policy even when a Republican does it. The president main goal should be mitigating disasters, a policy of deregulating and allocating more companies to compete

And stop illegal immigration’s

Election Year Democrat Scams

EYS= election year scam by a lame/deaf duck. not a typo btw

Not a scam and not passed in an election year by a lame duck - it was part of the Inflation Reduction Act that passed in August of 2022.

He walked straight into a WORLD CLASS gridlocked system, but I see your point. Lolololololol

Gridlocked by two entire years during which his party held the White House and both houses of Congress?

Or by the fact that he didn't think to buy seniors' votes until 2020?

Gridlocked by people like you, but yeah, swamp creatures in both parties, protecting the Status Quo.
ANALyzing minutia ad nauseum, running a fillabuster 24/7.
Their POLICIES do not work.
They/U impede our progress as a nation.

Uh huh.. do go on.
