This move is particularly evil. This is one of the major achievements of President Biden. The good for nothing GQP is trying to delete his legacy, never about the welfare of seniors.
So they paid lobbyists to remove it to go back to $350 a vial $9.95-$35 a vial all other Nations?
A patent given away a century ago for $1. To the world! Big Pharma in USA is killing people by charging 10-20x the cost of all Life Saving drugs! Why do we subsidies the World?
Republicans aren't targeting elderly MAGAs or the elderly parents of MAGAs. They will ensure that only Democrats suffer. Elderly and working poor MAGAs need not worry, Trump and the MAGA OKW love and really care about you! 😆😄
America, noticed Trump threaten with military and police against the American people if we speak out to the harm he's going to do, don't fear your military or police, you will be forced one day to stand and that's a fact all of us or we perish separate!
It looks like the cap on insulin prices got stuck into an otherwise poor piece of legislation. Lets see if their is a plan to move the insulin cap into a more robust bill before we make such accusations.
Watch the brakes come on for the economy. These guys are a bunch of no minds for there leaders musky & stinky. Question everything these clowns try to do.
And kill shitter!
So the elderly who are so glued to Fox "News" that the Fox logo is burned into their television screens, will now lose this benefit at the hands of the very people they put into power because of their own fear and gullibility.
Well Pete, you had a LOT of time to make sure there were stop gap measures to be sure this wouldn't happen. But, where were YOU when they started to threaten this, huh? Forwarding posts like this does ZERO when the damage will be done regardless, since it is FAR too late now.
I wonder why they wish to commit mass suicide? Is it not in their interest to retain it (& as they’re wont to do!) and sneakily take credit for it! They’ve done it before! Haven’t they?
Along with a cap on insulin the Biden Admin. also passed legislation for people on SSI or SSD (I am disabled), and it capped costs for all our meds if we qualify for the Extra Help Benefit. So $4.90 or $11.20 generic or name brand. Then when we hit the max we pay $0. For 9 months of 2024 I paid $0.
That’s $0 per med for 9 months. The max you hit isn’t what the insured person pays out of pocket, it’s how much those meds cost without insurance. So they got rid of the donut hole folks fall into and made sure we had affordable access to not only basic meds but in my case meds that keep me alive.
So, obvs question, but...how does this reduce government spending? If their beef with government spending is that there's too much of it, I want to know how this affects that.
How can anyone be so cruel? I hope the Reich is paying attention. They need to learn this lesson well so they never trust or vote for anymore RepubliKKKans ever again.🤬 Btw, Isn’t that the insulin cap Sweet Potato SHitler kept trying to claim was his idea & that it was stolen by the Dems?🤔
GOP only capable of giving its billionaires more money. That's it. No problem solving, no helping ordinary Americans, no nothing. Tax cuts for the rich and point figures, that's all they do.
Besides, didn't Trump take credit for the insulin cap?
I am close to three people who will be personally affected by this. That makes ME personally affected. I'd better shut up before I say something unfit for the public.
That’s the plain truth. It’s not just the insulin. They’ve introduced a bill to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, which caps seniors’ Medicare Part D out of pocket at $2K per year and allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices. This as one of their first bills! #GOPWarOnSeniors
Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Perry!!
And don't forget all 18 House Repubs that (while repealing), don't want to lose their energy tax credits. Hypocrites.
I am shocked that Lori signed off on this, until I remembered that she is Trump’s nominee for Dept of Labor Secretary.
She is my rep and our district is poor and has many struggling seniors (like myself). I even wrote her last month asking her to PLEASE fight against Medicare cuts. Bet she won’t 😭
This grotesquely uneducated republican cult 'thinks' they're immune, wait until CRIMINAL DJT starts rounding up those who actually voted for him into his concentration camps, the price of eggs will be the least of their problems, who then will they blame?
DJT will take full credit for Biden's work!
It’s disheartening to see how stupid voters were. They have shot themselves in the foot and will not blame the messiah…no, it will be the fault of Biden. 🤦♂️
At this point democrats should just be no voting every one of the republicans terrible bills but you can bet some chick 💩democrats are still rolling over and playing dead
We're going to hit rock bottom before it gets any better...
When the poor idiots who voted for him find themselves out on the streets or in homeless shelters, it's then they'll realize that they were duped!!
MAGA's are dumb!!
These are the idiots who believe that "Obamacare" and the ACA are two separate things.
They voted for Trump because one of the main things he said he'd do is to get rid of Obamacare.
Imagine their surprise when they find out that the ACA and Obamacare are one in the same!
As a newbie, I strongly suggest that bluesky posters be required to provide a reference for their issue, like a bill # and sponsor; newspaper sources with reporter info, etc. it’s about not reacting to words but to deeds and actions taken.
It’s not a secret that Republicans feel that way and sadly people keep voting for them. This is what voting for a Republican gets you. Nothing. People will have to feel gut wrenching pain before they get it!!
But why!!!??? What the fack is this shit happening and what the fack is wrong with these arseholes! I hope these right wing sick pos realize they’re going to get screwed come election. Fack these rats.
I have twin 26yo sons with T1 diabetes on insulin pumps. They do not benefit from the $35 price cap because they are not on Medicare. Regardless, this is a medication they, and millions of others, cannot live without. And Republicans play with their lives like they mean nothing!
Yes, sick or aged folks should also be economically impoverished. That’s just the price one pays for being ill or old. This also keeps them from pondering about the growing wealth gap in the U.S. The “I got mine” crowd dominates the “help your neighbor” crowd.
My doctor is pushing for me to switch to insulin. I waited. I knew if I switched, he'd repeal the cap. Once he takes my social security, I'll be living in my car. At least I have a back up plan. 👀 Living in a van, down by the river. 😏🖕DJT
House Republicans with their excellent Taxpayer Funded health insurance thinks you don't deserve affordable health care (because the drug company lobby paid them huge sums of money to represent them, not you the Taxpayer.)
And I'm sure many of their constituents benefitted from this, yet when those same people that are trying to hurt them run for re-election they'll vote for them again. I have stopped trying to understand why people do what they do.
My father, a staunch Trump supporter, is retired on Medicare with diabetes and neuropathy, and relying on insulin… yet he still won’t reconsider his stance.
It’s so heartbreaking to see a man who was once my role model support policies that hurt him and will continue to hurt so many more to come.
The skew to older people for Trump wasn't excessive - 4-5%, but older people are more likely to vote so it made the difference. Well, so did two million fewer Democrats voting in 2024.
I’m a boomer & I didn’t vote for this ass! I do however know people that did 🤬 DJT has been a POS for as long as I can remember!
and the women that voted for him can KMA!
House Republicans (MAGA) want to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act. The new bill was introduced by Rep. Andrew Ogles (R - TN, 5). ThisHouse Resolution is co-sponsored by over 15 Republicans! This is disgusting and repulsive. Please see if you're representative is on this list.
Some of those Republicans must have loved ones that benefit from this. How can they take these benefits away? Why do they hate everyone except for the mega wealthy.
Democrats are stupid. They don't do what they should, fight fire with fire. Have a website and information center, a TV show, that document and dramatize every anti-American citizen/country decision and act by Trump & MAGA, Inc. does. Time, date, source, direct quotes etc.
Just the beginning as the titans of industry wait to receive their payoffs for helping reelect the orange imbecile.To bad the only thing the Repubs
are good at is continuing the practice of asset reallocation. Take billions from social an entitlement programs and give it to the already rich.FU
Anything that benefits constituents doesn't seem to be a consideration any longer. Expecting a World Famous liar to care about anybody but himself and his rich cronies was always huge mistake.
The Reign of Chaos is about to begin. Take care of yourselves, sticking together we'll make it through. 💙
Because we are completely expendable to them. They want every person who is disabled or sick & not completely young, healthy & able to work FOR THEM as SLAVES their whole lives,

This is the root of all problems with Democrats....they ran scared of being called liberals. It's a badge of honor. Conservativism is now a curse word.
They're too stupid to care. They just find all their political knowledge based on what their political leadership tells them or doesn't tell them. They're never aware of the truth of a political issue. It's hopeless until Putin assumes his office in Washington.
Corporate welfare for the rich elites is all the American Fascist Party cares about. They can afford insulin, so they don't give a rat's behind whether you can or not!
the worst part is during the campaign Trump lied (Vance too) and tried to convince people it was Trump, not Biden, who had reduced the cost - now he's making it higher which was always his intention
I swear these men have a death wish. How can they be so cruel as to trade lives for profits? They are lower than cockroaches—I even try to set them free as they are just bugs. These men though? We need a unique term to call them. Like Roach-shit 🪳 💩—but catchier.
American workers pay taxes, billionaires don't. Yet Republicans always want to TAKE our taxes and divide them amongst the wealthy (including themselves) and that WE don't deserve any benefits from OUR taxes.
Every member of Congress should have to wear pins with the names of billionaires and corporations they represent because we’re done pretending they work for regular Americans
330 bills have been introduced already. H.R. 191 has been introduced and sent to relevant committees. This will repeal the cap on insulin prices, among other things we gained in the Inflation Reduction Act. Start calling! Use your voices! U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121! Make some noise!
Trump will have both House & Senate control if/when this happens. Yes, it's both angering & and cruel, but perhaps a necessary eye opener for diabetic magats & the politically apathetic who'll be effected.
EvErY vOtEr NeEdS tO kNoW... my dude every voter knows what side of the fence they are on. It's literally good vs evil at this point. There's no winning over the other side and the other side can't win us over. It's a war of attrition now that might spill into real violence.
This grotesquely uneducated republican cult who 'thinks' they're immune is NOT pro-life as they claim but rather PRO-CONTROL period end of sentence full stop.!
The Democrats did a horrible job communicating to the largely rep voting elderly that trump was going to screw them over in a variety of ways. That was one of their biggest ball drops.
I agree, to some extent, but I saw virtually no TV ads that targeted this and the elderly watch a lot of TV. Most of the ads involved abortion, which does not impact them. The Dems should have pushed harder (we did lose). A large group of voters were left to Fox propaganda. We should have tried.

Ah, schadenfreude!
💥Vote NO on the Laken Riley act
💥Vote NO on Pete Hegseths nomination to Dept of Defense
💥Invoke Article 14 Section 3 of the US Constitution, Donald Trump is NOT QUALIFIED to hold the office of President as a known INSURRECTIONIST
CALL YOURS NOW
I hope to God these next few years fly by quick. These people are the epitome of evil!
What will be their due?
ME = WEALTHY
THEE = EVERYONE ELSE
The wealthy can never have enough… and as they take more and more… there is less for the masses, less for everyone else!
So retract $35 insulin…
“Eat the rich!”
FUCK THE GOP AND ALL WHO SUPPORT/ENABLE THEM!!!
We don’t have to live this way. Collectively, we could defund them.
Can't wait to see TrumpElon in inaction. 🙄😏
It’s so heartbreaking to see a man who was once my role model support policies that hurt him and will continue to hurt so many more to come.
2 are in FL, 1 in NY.
If y’all can’t take this discrete matter and ride it to victories, pack it up, you are terminally incompetent.
Hell, “send them a message” ought to get you enough to win.

It always seems like MAGA wants to hurt the people versus helping them.
Why keep voting for them?
Since most don’t know the data, childhood cancer research only receives 4% of the funding for all cancer research.
Of course they don’t care. They are Republicans.
