Not as simple as you had stated, as usual.

"Separately, the Trump administration implemented a program in which some Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans voluntarily set the maximum copay for insulin at $35 per month. However, not all insulin products are necessarily covered by the plans that participate. It also does not affect costs for people who are uninsured or have other coverage.

That program remains in place, and Cubanski pointed out that the Biden administration supported expanding that initiative. A provision under the idling Build Back Better Act would have applied it to private insurers, for example.

That legislation also proposed allowing Medicare to negotiate the prices of certain drugs, including insulin."

under President Trump's leadership, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that over 1,750 standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans with prescription drug coverage have applied to offer lower insulin costs through the Part D Senior Savings Model for the 2021 plan year. Across the nation, participating enhanced Part D prescription drug plans will provide Medicare beneficiaries access to a broad set of insulins at a maximum $35 copay for a month's supply, from the beginning of the year through the Part D coverage gap. The model follows on the Trump Administration's previously announced 13.5 percent decline in the average monthly basic Part D premium since 2017 to the lowest level in seven years.

And what did pedo pete do? Cancelled trump's executive order, then re-issued it and tried to take credit for it!


False. You really need to stop getting your news from Russian memes and clickbait...

Social media posts claim President Joe Biden overturned an executive order signed by his predecessor Donald Trump that aimed to lower insulin costs for US diabetics. This is false; Biden froze for 60 days the implementation of all federal rules created but not yet put into effect by the previous administration and, if applied, Trump's proposed change would only cut drug prices for a limited number of Americans.

...

"The rule as it was finalized would never have applied to all or even most Americans," she said by phone.

If implemented, it will require that Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) -- which serve about one in 11 Americans, including homeless and vulnerable populations -- offer the discounted price they receive when they purchase insulin and injectable epinephrine (EpiPens) through a federal program called 340B.

Sachs said these centers already provide some free care and discount drugs for people living at less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level, meaning $34,840 for a family of two. The new rule would expand those discounts to FQHC patients with incomes up to 350 percent of poverty -- $60,970 for a family of two.

Trump's order would have accomplished nothing... lowering prices for a group that already got it for free or discounted. Biden's team changed it so that it applied to more people.
