Cheaper insulin? So now type II diabetics can get fatter for less money! (For those unaware, insulin tells your body to store fat.)

Or my family can pay less for the drug my type 1 diabetic wife needs to live.

Fasting, my BG will go up 30 to 50 points per hour without any active insulin. No insulin and I'm dead in less than a week, even with no food.

• The Trump administration, via executive order, put a $35 cap on copays for insulin FOR SOME Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans but did not lower the cost of insulin or EpiPens for most Americans who use them.
• When Biden took office, his administration suspended all executive orders for 60 days that had not gone into effect - common behavior for an incoming administration.
• H.R. 5376, also known as the Build Back Better bill, includes Trump's idea but goes much further with proposals aimed at reducing the cost of prescription drugs in pubic and private plan.

If Trump's cap was for Medicare only, it is a flat out lie to claim that Biden is trying to claim credit for something Trump did. Most people aren't on Medicare.

If type 2 people controlled their blood sugar with diet, then overall demand would decrease and free up more for type 1, reducing cost for you.

Require federally qualified health centers who purchase insulins and epinephrine in the 340B program to pass the savings from discounted drug prices directly on to medically underserved patients. This will increase access to life-saving insulin and epinephrine for the patients who face especially high costs among the 28 million patients who visit FQHCs every year, over six million of whom are uninsured.

Authorize the re-importation of insulin products made in the United States if the Secretary finds re-importation is required for emergency medical care pursuant to section 801(d) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Create a pathway for safe personal importation through the use of individual waivers to purchase drugs at lower cost from pre-authorized U.S. pharmacies.

Not true. It wasn't just Medicare:

You think insulin supply is low?

ETA Seriously, am I the only one who sees the absolute absurdity in this statement?

Price is a function of supply and demand.
If demand reduces, price will drop irrespective of supply.
