Biden Stops Trump Order To Slash Price Of Insulin, EpiPen

President Joe Biden’s United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday stopped executive orders from his predecessor designed to significantly lower prescription drug prices for Americans, including insulin and epinephrine.

The new administration will apparently re-evaluate the executive action from President Donald Trump toward the end of March. It remains unclear if it will be reinstated.

“The HHS Thursday froze the former Trump administration’s December drug policy that requires community health centers to pass on all their insulin and epinephrine discount savings to patients,” Bloomberg Law reported Thursday. “Centers that don’t pass on the savings wouldn’t qualify for federal grants.”

“This freeze is part of the Biden administration’s large-scale effort announced this week that will scrutinize the Trump administration’s health policies,” the report noted. “If the previous administration’s policies raise ‘fact, law, or policy’ concerns, the Biden HHS will delay them and consult with the Office of Management and Budget about other actions.”

In other words,what they are doing is killing Trumps price cuts so people forget they ever existed,and will then reinstate them and claim credit for cutting prescription drug costs.

It's a con,people.

No, they are just raising prices to where they were because Big Pharma wants it that way.

And they will then cut them just ahead of the midterm elections,and take credit for cutting drug prices. Wait and see.

After all,what's to keep them from raising the prices again after the election?

if I recall, the government brokered another one of those sweet deals with big pharma - sweet for them and the rest of the developing world - where the rest of the world got cheap pharmaceuticals financed by the high prices we Americans had to pay. Trumps EO stopped this scam.

Sounds right for the left to do that. It's what they ALWAYS do.
