• Former President Donald Trump recognized that the price of insulin is lower under President Joe Biden but still tried to take credit for it.
  • Trump has lagged Biden on the issue of health care in recent voter surveys.
  • Trump spent much of his term trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which covers roughly 45 million Americans, without offering an alternative health-care option.

    Mate, just read the article…

    For Trump’s part, the former president signed an executive order in the last year of his administration to issue his own $35 price cap on insulin. Biden later paused that policy when he took office as part of a larger freeze to allow his administration to review new regulations set to go into effect.

    If anyone is acting like trumpets, it’s the ones ignoring reality

      You’re like a parody of yourself. Even the snippet you quoted says that the policy was paused to “review new regulations set to go into effect”, and as somebody already tried to tell you, the old executive order about the price was simply replaced with a law.

      If you want to tell others they’re ignoring reality you really ought to stop, you know, ignoring reality. Did you even read that quote you copied yourself? If you did, did you understand it? Did you understand what the other commenter said about the price cap now being a law instead of an executive order?

      You can now throw your petulant downvote my way and keep insisting everybody else is wrong, apparently that’s all you’re capable of even when quoting sources you yourself dug up
