They're reversing everything Obama and Biden put in place and deregulating everything for their selfish needs, and then privatizing what's left. It's all about profit margins. That's what the Heritage Foundation's Christian Nationalists manifesto is all about. Here's more
A patient I know who blamed very loudly in office that the CA fires were caused by liberals, who depends on his $35 a month insulin will still find a way to blame Biden and democrats for losing it.
If there is a next time, maybe people will pay better attention to what REPUBLICANS what to take from them to cover their tax breaks for their rich friends!
Anyone who depends on insulin but voted for Republicans is going to find out really fast that Republicans couldn’t care less about any constituents who don’t fund their campaigns…. Republicans are hogs at the trough of power and wealth.
The GOP does nothing to improve the lives of ordinary Americans. They don't care if we're on the streets broken and broke. Too bad. Thoughts and prayers
I’m a Canadian and a friend of mine said “I’d rather Trump here than Trudeau!!” She is diabetic and needs dialysis. I told her Trudeau made insulin and supplies free, and Biden made insulin cheaper in the US and I heard crickets.
The willful ignorance is absolutely gob smacking! I just don’t understand how Trump voters can’t see how they’re being conned at their own expense. 🤦♀️
The amount of disrespect they give the general public is such a deep betrayal. They've forgotten that they were elected to govern FOR the people & provide for the NEEDS of the people. They 💩 on the social contract where people give up a little so THEY can grow to meet needs and protect us.
It’s all going. For the last 50 years, the more they got, the more they wanted. Faster and faster, and farther and farther. Now they’re drunk on power, and there are no limits.
More than a few blue states do, though some of the caps are more affordable than others. The MAGAts who voted for uncapped federal medication costs had better hope they live in one of these states unless they're wealthy.
Isn't that what you voted for? KH warned you, but having the Orange guy in power was of the utmost importance to the US no matter what his policies would be. He not only won the presidency but also the popular vote so deal with it.
Of course they do. Hurting Americans has always been their primary platform. Government is not a business. It’s about service. They want to save money that belongs to We the People and not to them. So who are they saving our tax dollars for??
CORRUPTION! They are being PAID MASSIVE FUNDS; NOT JUST CAMPAIGN MONEY! Cash, Stock Given to A SPOUSE, SEPARATE TAX RETURNS? None of that would surprise me NOW. Republican Party is NOW FOCUSED ON SELFISH GREED. They ARE FOLLOWING DRUMPF IN THE “ CAPITALISM/ FASCISM” MODE‼️THE ART OF THE SWINDLE‼️
My theory is that Republicans want to undo anything Biden/Dems did but they have no replacement plans. Remember they tried this the last time Trump was in office and the GOP had a majority. They want to undo Biden's legacy.
Just..... Fuck these people. I think it would just be in everyone's best interest to divide this country up. Let the good decent progressive people who give a shit about their fellow humans and right and wrong take over the north, and the rest can have FL to TX
He's a piece of shit. Another one that got away with everything. I live in PA and I know his game. I'm also a diabetic and use 2 kinds of insulin and medication 💊! I'm 65 years old. We should take away all congressman senators and supreme courts benefits. Let them pay for it all. Use that stolen 💰
I’m absolutely convinced they are gathering anything that helps any human and are looking at ways to get rid of it. Doesn’t matter what it is, if it helps, they remove it.
Every time a bill is proposed that will result in companies increasing profits, each and every member of Congress should have to declare if they have even the most tenuous financial interest. And not participate in the vote. With penalties for non-compliance.
Their plan with this, as with all they do, is to funnel more money from poor and middle class people to rich people, then lie about it, and win reelection when enough people believe their lies. They'll keep doing it as long as they keep getting away with it.
This man was named as ONE of several Republican members of Congress involved in the January 6th attempted coup against the United States government and its people WITHOUT EVEN A FLY SPECK OF ACCOUNTABILITY OR CONSEQUENCES AT ALL. And too many 'wonder' why we're at this juncture in our country.
What is the point other than plain meanness? The only thing I can think of is an intention to kill every American who is less than 100% healthy. What group will be next?
And the more we pay attention to this kind of shit the more they succeed in distracting from the real problem. How much greed is enough? In 2023 a group of economists found that 53% of all price increasing were just price gouging. Want to wager 2024 was worse?
There is literally only one reason for them to do this and it a because they want to be cruel. They are going to do everything they can to make all our lives miserable.
So my question, this can’t just voice shock and awe. We already did that for 4 years. What is the plan to stop it? If we are going to resist don’t we need plans?
The inflation reduction act is saving me over $2000 a year since it caps Medicare drug costs to $2000 a year. Republicans want to repeal this act. Interesting that the GOP wants to help big pharma over their constituents. Obvious who they work for 🤬
Sucking up to Big Pharma. That’s all it is. Pharma wants its tax cuts and the politicians want their campaign donations. Utterly transparent and never anything that’s good for the people. Robber barons.
This will affect so many people, including millions of children, very children who were embryos and these pro life people fought so hard to protect but as soon as they’re born, they’re forgotten. They don’t care about educating them, feeding them, their healthcare, etc. once that embryos born, well
Obviously big pharma invested wisely. Time for lots of class actions for any side effects received, break them so that they can never again buy their way to profit by bribing a politicians into power.
Of course. They are going to undo anything Biden did that helps people. They did the same to Obama. Whomever votes to repeal it, let’s make sure those names get out there at least.
Worst case scenario, they succeed and people lose their insulin. Best case, Democrats stop them and people think Democrats are always crying wolf, they can vote for whomever they want, nothing bad will happen to them.
I know more poor people who vote Republican, no matter how painful it will be for them, than vote for Democrats who are trying to make life better for them. How do we fix stupid?!
Of course they are repealing. Big pharma lines their pockets. When big pharma loses that money that they are gouging, so do Reps. It's disgusting, but, a reminder..Reps. do NOT work for US or OUR best interests.
This is why the Democrats need to start following the GOP/MAGA playbook of creating media that everyday people will consume that explains the "liberal" position on healthcare etc so the only voices out there are not the GOP/MAGA propaganda.
Truly sad. Keeping the $35 insulin cap ensures this essential medication remains affordable and accessible for millions of Americans managing their diabetes. This repel if successful would undoubtedly affect many of their Republican constituents in red states—they need to speak up.
Because of course they do. When will our society ever learn? It's not those Latin Americans out picking your vegetables or at the head splitting machine in the meat processing plant that are threatening your existence. It's the man in a suit and tie sitting in Congress that's the real threat.
Obvs no sense of shame. Banting, who did all the work, sold the rights for only $1 because he wanted to assure that it would be available for all who needed it.
Don't worry. GOP has a concept of a plan to make insulin even cheaper. Step one end ACA. Step two end Original Medicare forcing all enrollees into Advantage plans. Step three have health insurance executives write new legislation maximizing their profits.
Why would anybody do this? Other than big pharma. Republicans with diabetes who aren't rich, which is probably most of them, don't want to pay more than $35 for insulin either. Wtf.
There it is. Big Pharma lobbying for their money any way they can get it. This after the healthcare industry raked in over $1 trillion in profit. Absolutely disgusting.

In most other countries the price of medications is lower.
Why repeal something that helps everyone?
can't afford to buy vital medicine ?
We must keep our priorities straight-
1: make more money
There are no other priorities
You would be destitute without us!

ROB FROM THE POOR, GIVE TO THE RICH.
Why? Because they can.

Looking at the data in the article I am willing to bet if price caps were still in place these corporations would make more money than with a repeal.
The Biden initiative has been successful. That's why GOP wants to end it.
They'll then introduce a similar measure, but mess it up and blame Biden.
Show them for what they are.
It's all about proving our superiority and grinding anyone who isn't "us" into the dirt!
That's the beauty of unregulated capitalism!
You would be destitute without us!

It's mean, but they're cruel.
Have we not been paying attention?
Yes?
Profiting off of human misery should be illegal. But here we are.
If religion is real these people worship Beelzebub.
This country is stupid!
It would certainly believe it so.

Pharma wants more money. Pharma pays Congress.
