The issue is some people have become tricked I to thinking of you don't like Biden then you have to support trump.
It's an easy way for the wealthy to stop the country from moving left.
Instead of listening and thinking, you just scream "MAGA" if someone doesn't say Biden is FDR.
The same shit trumpers do.
Likely all comes back to the conservative billionaire from WBs board saying he wants to make CNN more like Faux News. So the "moderates" act like Republicans.
Faux News was created to get republicans voters to the point where they'd never hold a Republican accountable...
It's been two years, and the moderate CNN watchers are excusing genocide at our border, in the Middle East, and openly denying reality...
I can admit when I'm wrong, I didn't think "moderates" would fall for it, I thought they'd just stop watching CNN.
If you don't like being painted as a reich-winger, maybe stop repeating reich-wing talking points and try to think for yourself?
...
Mate, just read the article...
If anyone is acting like trumpets, it's the ones ignoring reality
He only capped it for 1750 patients for 1 year. Biden got it done for everyone
Yep, I'm never a fan of means testing, and that was included in it. Not sure where your numbers are coming from since you didn't link it tho.

Unfortunately that's still the case...
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/apr/02/joe-biden/biden-is-right-about-35-insulin-cap-but-exaggerate/
But even if it did do what Biden claims, why pause Trump's for years?
What about those people that got it under Trump's means testing and under Biden's means testing?
Why did Biden not want them to be covered under Trump's in the meantime?
I'm legitimately trying to find out why, and I'm just not getting any answers.
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)

Edit: sorry for the format on this one. I copied it from an earlier comment where I was being snarky
You're like a parody of yourself. Even the snippet you quoted says that the policy was paused to "review new regulations set to go into effect", and as somebody already tried to tell you, the old executive order about the price was simply replaced with a law.
If you want to tell others they're ignoring reality you really ought to stop, you know, ignoring reality. Did you even read that quote you copied yourself? If you did, did you understand it? Did you understand what the other commenter said about the price cap now being a law instead of an executive order?
You can now throw your petulant downvote my way and keep insisting everybody else is wrong, apparently that's all you're capable of even when quoting sources you yourself dug up
