Thank you President Biden!

We can't express enough thanks to our wonderful President.

All the Democrats were so anxious to undo everything that Trump did so we also owe them gratitude.

Having low cost for prescription drugs undermines the Democrat's zeal to make this country a Socialist shithole with socialized medicine.


"I have to pay for something that I did not at all, at all do anything to get. So I guess I'll just fucking die".

A 24-year-old man who says he graduated from college just before COVID-19 provoked massive lockdowns and a stagnant economy, now says that the cost of his insulin and other diabetic supplies have skyrocketed to $2,000. This comes after Joe Biden rescinded an executive order, signed by President Donald Trump, that lowered the cost of life sustaining insulin for low income Americans.

"Hi everybody, so I'm just having a little freakout in my car, because I just found out my f**king diabetic supplies, like my insulin and my pump supplies that I need to live are costing $2,000 a month," said the man, who appears to have Type 1 diabetes.

"I am 24, I only just got out of college before COVID hit and I'm not making any good money. How am I supposed to pay $2,000 for something that I didn't do anything to get?"

Those with Type 1 diabetes were born with the irreversible disease, as opposed to those with Type 2 diabetes, who largely experience the disease as a result of a genetic predisposition or unfortunate lifestyle choices.

"America is f**king bullshit, like I can't afford to live," the man shouted, gripped with emotion. "I have to pay for something that I did not at all, at all do anything to get. So I guess I'll just f**king die."

It is unlikely the man's insulin and pump would cost such an astronomical sum under President Trump, who specifically signed four executive orders aimed at lowering these costs last year. National File reported:

Last July, President Trump issued four executive orders that instructed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to "end a shadowy system of kickbacks by middlemen that lurks behind the high out-of-pocket costs many Americans face at the pharmacy counter."

Mr. Trump said the high price of insulin and epinephrine pens (EpiPens) used in emergency situations to combat severe allergic reactions that can often cause death, have cut off low-income people in "desperate" need of the medications.

The slate of executive orders included a directive that required federal community health centers to pass the significant discounts they received from pharmaceutical companies on insulin and EpiPens directly to patients.

Biden never explained why he reversed an executive order that was aimed at helping impoverished Americans, but many conservatives believe it is to increase dissatisfaction with the current healthcare system and pave the way for socialized medicine as an alternative.


Sources inside the White House are scared that all of Biden's EO's will fall because of his dementia, There is already one tape of him saying he doesn't know what he is signing, and unlike Trump, Biden doesn't hold the signed EO's up to the camera for all to see the signature.

They are whispering about 25th Amendment inside the White House but are scared as hell to have the incompetent Harris becomes POTUS. They may wait if they can pull it off, for Breyer to retire this summer, offer his seat on the Court to Harris. Once she is approved they will choose Biden's successor.

Whoever drew up this particular EO is a PoS. Where is the media on this? Where are those MF'ers?

Idiots do idiot things.

China Joe is the gold standard for Idiots.

The Libtard media will never challenge anything China Joe does. No matter how destructive to the country it is.

In his first week China Joe lost great paying jobs for tens of thousands of Americans, increased the cost of energy, gave the green light for millions of illegals and ran up the cost of prescription drugs.

That is the moron these Useful Idiots supported.
What was the increase in prices for these drugs over the last three weeks?

The executive order Trump signed was EO 13937, signed July 24, 2020. Published in the Federal Register on December 23, 2020. Was suppose to go in effect on January 22, 2021 but was postponed through the customary action of delaying any laws and EO's from a previous administration that HAVE NOT TAKEN EFFECT. The delay is for 60 days to evaluate the anticipated affects. Any claims that Biden has signed an EO canceling the Trump EO are wrong. Any claim that costs have immediately went up are wrong. The damn EO never went in effect.

Did Biden Temporarily Freeze Trump Rule Lowering Insulin, EpiPen Prices? (snopes.com)
So the EO never did affect any prices. I knew that.
 
He should still be on his parents' insurance.

. . . what if his folks don't have any? What if they are both self-employed and chose not to purchase any? :dunno:

Why are they responsible for a 24 year old man?

Because they created the 24 year old man instead of aborting him. BTW, he can give up the insulin pump and it will cost a lot less. He could also, you know, sign up for medicaid.

"Salute the Marine"
 
PBMs serve as a liaison between drug companies and health insurance companies, negotiating what insurance companies, pharmacies and patients pay for a drug. They can negotiate rebates, discounts, and other services. These rebates and other benefits are passed on to the health plans. Medicare is barred from participating in these negotiations.

A study published by the American Diabetes Association in 2018 showed that these negotiations encourage high list prices. As these list prices increase, "profits of the intermediaries in the insulin supply chain, such as wholesalers, PBMs and pharmacies, increase because each may receive a rebate, discount or fee calculated as a percentage of the list price."



  • Despite political claims to the contrary, insulin prices are not dropping as a result of President Donald Trump’s actions leading up to the presidential election of 2020.
  • Insulin certainly isn’t “as cheap as water,” as Trump claimed during the presidential debate in late September. His executive orders are controversial and symbolic at best.
  • The underground exchange or “black market” continues to grow, accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis and patients who once relied on insulin from outside the United States.
  • States continue to pass insulin co-pay cap legislation, and California became the first to allow for its own generic insulin development.
Quit being a tool and admit you failed.

So, you're blaming Biden
Rather than blaming the greed of Pharma.
Insulin has been around for decades.
PHARMA has taken advantage of the rules by adding some meaningless additive to the insulin so it can be a "patent protected" drug.
But, like all Trumpinistas, you blame the victim for being sick and not being able to afford your Trump priced medications.

Not to worry though...

Biden will fix it.
Trump tackled Big Pharma......got the prices down....and along came spastic Biden and tore up the agreement.
Trump also made an EO that allowed Liberians who escaped the Civil war to stay in the U.S. Biden tore that up too.
Are gonna spend the next 4 years blindly defending every bad decision this creep makes.

The above is your basic fake news.

 
They. Don't. Care. One less mouth to bitch at them. One less person to try to mind control. So if he dies....oh. well. to. them.
There was a flu epidemic during Obama Biden that killed over 180,000 Americans , There wasn't a problem because they just refused to report it. If you think any of the Politicians in Power today give 2 shits whether their constituents die you're absolutely blind. One less mouth to feed one less bitchy constituent , their attitude is people die everyday there's nothing I can do about it , except take care of myself and my Friends even at someone else's peril
You're off by a factor of ten. Only 18,000 people died of swine flu in the US.

Died of Swine Flu only or with Swine Flu?
People died of gunshot wounds in the U.S but were included in Covid deaths.
Why didn't they do this with Swine flu deaths??Different President maybe?
Do you think we are daft?

If we really want to get medical costs down, we should open up the market to service without insurance. A lot of states won't even allow doctors or hospitals to accept cash directly. You're required to go through insurance, which is mostly because the insurance industry buys both parties and helps to create these regulations in their favor.

Healthcare providers should also be allowed to set up their own payment plans without getting insurance involved. The bureaucracy costs tied to insurance are a large part of the cost of drugs and care.

Biden never explained why he reversed an executive order that was aimed at helping impoverished Americans, but many conservatives believe it is to increase dissatisfaction with the current healthcare system and pave the way for socialized medicine as an alternative.
So, you're blaming Biden
Rather than blaming the greed of Pharma.
Insulin has been around for decades.
PHARMA has taken advantage of the rules by adding some meaningless additive to the insulin so it can be a "patent protected" drug.
But, like all Trumpinistas, you blame the victim for being sick and not being able to afford your Trump priced medications.

Not to worry though...

Biden will fix it.
HE FUCKING BROKE IT YOU DAMFOOL!!!!

While we are nonplussed about human foibles, please, let's say a little prayer or send good thoughts, together for the victims of diabetes 1, for those who spend their entire lives from birth; for those who acquire diabetes in their adulthood as an immunodeficiency disorder, and an associated disorder that is frequently fatal, pancreatic cancer.

Dear God, please soften the hearts of the nations leaders to save the lives of the millions of people dying from this insidious disease called diabetes in all its forms including type 3 diabetes aka dementia and pancreatic cancer, all of which the rest of us have been paying for in our federal taxes. Lord, they the sufferers of this heinous disease ain't heavy, they are our brothers and sisters. Please help us use government to get treatment they need, as surely it slipped our Democrat leaders notice that sufferers have no one else to help them but we the people of the United States of America to treat them to a little good health with our help. We ask your help for President Biden make the exception to his scorch the earth decision against innocent men, women, and children who get this insidious disease that tortures victims regardless of race, color, creed, or political party. Thanks for the good health you would have for these people who are likely to die quickly from covid if they have co.plications diabetes itself throws at them. Amen.

Light a candle. Send the White House a copy of this prayer so President Biden will throw out a lifeline to those who get this heinous disease. Respectfully submitted,

We can't express enough thanks to our wonderful President.

All the Democrats were so anxious to undo everything that Trump did so we also owe them gratitude.

Having low cost for prescription drugs undermines the Democrat's zeal to make this country a Socialist shithole with socialized medicine.


"I have to pay for something that I did not at all, at all do anything to get. So I guess I'll just fucking die".

A 24-year-old man who says he graduated from college just before COVID-19 provoked massive lockdowns and a stagnant economy, now says that the cost of his insulin and other diabetic supplies have skyrocketed to $2,000. This comes after Joe Biden rescinded an executive order, signed by President Donald Trump, that lowered the cost of life sustaining insulin for low income Americans.

"Hi everybody, so I'm just having a little freakout in my car, because I just found out my f**king diabetic supplies, like my insulin and my pump supplies that I need to live are costing $2,000 a month," said the man, who appears to have Type 1 diabetes.

"I am 24, I only just got out of college before COVID hit and I'm not making any good money. How am I supposed to pay $2,000 for something that I didn't do anything to get?"

Those with Type 1 diabetes were born with the irreversible disease, as opposed to those with Type 2 diabetes, who largely experience the disease as a result of a genetic predisposition or unfortunate lifestyle choices.

"America is f**king bullshit, like I can't afford to live," the man shouted, gripped with emotion. "I have to pay for something that I did not at all, at all do anything to get. So I guess I'll just f**king die."

It is unlikely the man's insulin and pump would cost such an astronomical sum under President Trump, who specifically signed four executive orders aimed at lowering these costs last year. National File reported:

Last July, President Trump issued four executive orders that instructed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to "end a shadowy system of kickbacks by middlemen that lurks behind the high out-of-pocket costs many Americans face at the pharmacy counter."

Mr. Trump said the high price of insulin and epinephrine pens (EpiPens) used in emergency situations to combat severe allergic reactions that can often cause death, have cut off low-income people in "desperate" need of the medications.

The slate of executive orders included a directive that required federal community health centers to pass the significant discounts they received from pharmaceutical companies on insulin and EpiPens directly to patients.

Biden never explained why he reversed an executive order that was aimed at helping impoverished Americans, but many conservatives believe it is to increase dissatisfaction with the current healthcare system and pave the way for socialized medicine as an alternative.
The above is your basic fake news.



China Joe is a piece of shit. He is corrupt, has the IQ of a door knob, is destructive to this country and is owned by foreign interest so why are Useful Idiots like you trying to defend him with biased Left Wing "fact" checking?
