Trump claims credit for Biden’s insulin price cap
Trump claims credit for Biden’s insulin price cap
Donald Trump and President Biden are scheduled for their first presidential debate on June 27.
- 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.
By November, Trump will have taken credit for every Biden accomplishment and millions of voters will believe it because they have the memories of goldfish.
That's what happens when you have two brain cells fighting for third place and get your information from fox "news".
Hey don't insult goldfish by comparing them to conservatives; goldfish actually have good memories
Not memories of goldfish, it's just malice.
This is Republicanism at its core.
Fight everything.
Democrats pass it anyway, somehow.
Take all the credit for the nothing you did.
It always makes me laugh when Dems pass something and some Republican says something like "Americnas will benefit from this great thing we did" and that Republican is called out for voting against it.
From what I've read, and I'm happy to be corrected, what Trump tried to dictate through executive orders (that would get thrown out in courts), Biden lead Congress to actually write laws about.
From what actually happened...
Biden "struck it down" waited a couple years, and then when he stopped obstructing it, demanded we call him FDR
Biden did not "strike it down", he halted all EOs not in effect so their administration can review them (see: the first paragraph of the linked article). Instead of re-issuing an EO, something that can be withdrawn on a whim (see: your post), Biden did the actual hard work of working with Congress to help pass the Inflation Reduction Act. The $35 cap is now backed by law rather than by diktat. Trump took the lazy path and issued the EO in the last days of his Presidency - a Presidency he spent quite a long time using to try and repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Try understanding the issue instead of spamming MAGA talking points.
While the Final Rule implementing EO 13937 was intended to increase access to affordable insulin and epinephrine, it did not fully understand FQHC operations and 340B Program mechanics, nor did it consider the possible negative consequences. If the Final Rule is implemented, it will do more harm than good in terms of ensuring access to care and medications for underserved populations
Fucking troll gtfo, or you a bot?
That’s the beauty of faith-based political identity. If you believe that Trump gave you cheap insulin in 2024, or that Biden caused the Covid crisis a year before his inauguration, the causal impossibility can be explained away as one of the ineffable mysteries of faith.
This is getting pretty fucking ridiculous. Either Donald Trump is a complete liar (ok, that’s a given) or he’s absolutely demented (ok, I guess both are given).
This is one tactic Trump often uses where he takes credit for things he didn't even support and then receives no real pushback for it.
Nothing is too low for pond scum
uhh...
the insulin price cap was instituted at the end of trumps term via executive order. I remember because a family member was overjoyed by it.
when biden took office, the incoming regime stopped all the previous regime's executive orders for three months. it happened a couple of days before the insulin price cap was supposed to take effect.
it's not exactly weird to try to take credit for something you did and someone else rebranded as their own thing.
the article linked in the OP says as much, way down at the bottom after talking up how good the insulin price cap is and how polling on healthcare supports biden.
i don't usually end up in a thread saying "hey wait a second, trump actually did do that!" but dang.
Ok so I looked it up cause I'll give credit where credit is due.
Trump did start the lower cost of insulin train, but when he started it was only for "1,750 standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans." ^(1)
So yeah I guess he started it, but Biden actually did it with his Inflation Reduction Act, which Democratic lawmakers pushed through Congress in 2022. ^(2) (3)

Im no fan of the trump regime, but you can’t say that having a signed executive order with a hhs rule implementation ready to go with a date and everything is “starting” it.
That’s literally finishing it but then having an uno reverse pulled before the awards ceremony.
Except the award wasnt gonna go to trump, but instead to Medicare part d recipients.
Also while expanding the cap to part b fifteen months later is good, part b covers the pumps and stuff, not the epipens and insulin themselves, which are covered by part d.
I’m open to being wrong about it, but I can’t find any documentation that executive order 13937 went back into effect after the Biden regimes 60 day freeze on all trump regime eos expired.
Like I said above, I’m open to being wrong, but this seems like a big L for dems…
E: sp, grammar.
Wow holy shit, that's kind of a 180 on the whole article... I hate the news so much for this shit.
This is Biden taking credit for Bernie Sanders' insulin price cap.
And biden took credit for the $600 stimulus checks before he took office. Politicians are dishonest. Every single one.
Huh?
During his campaign biden promised $2000 stimulus checks. Once he finally delivered the checks they were only $1400.
Instead of acting like a responsible adult and apologizing for the shortage, he decided to lie and gaslight saying that $1400 was what he promised because if you count the $600 checks that he had nothing to do with and add them you get the $2000 he promised.
He did...
And as soon as Biden came I to office, he froze what trump had done, and then after a couple years out it back I to effect.
Like, that's a real thing that happened. And it's concerning people apparently forgot.
In the first few days of his 2021 term, U.S. President Joe Biden was quick to issue nearly a dozen executive orders aimed at reversing many of the policies of former President Donald Trump, from rejoining the World Health Organization to recommitting the U.S. to the Paris climate accord. And, as the 46th president took pen to paper, he required that all federal rules pending review that were submitted under the previous administration be frozen for at 60 days — among them, one aimed at reducing the cost of insulin and EpiPens.
Why would it be concerning? He replaced an executive order with actual law.
givesomefucks doesn't give a fuck about facts.
This is maybe the 5th time I've seen you post something that's either willfully deceptive or just flat-out dumb. A while back I tagged you so you're easy to spot.
