Trump: “$35 insulin... I did that.”

Fact check: This is a blatant lie. Trump did not cap insulin costs, Biden-Harris did for seniors through the Inflation Reduction Act.

As Vice President, I was proud to cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act.

We capped insulin at $35/month for seniors, and capped prescription drug costs at $2,000/year for those on Medicare.

HE LIE: Biden claims Kamala will cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for Americans.

If you’re __ the 1 in 3 people with Medicare who has diabetes, there’s some good news: starting in 2021, many participating drug plans will offer a 30-day supply of insulin for $35 or less per month through the Medicare Part D Senior Savings Model.

Part D Senior Savings Model


Part D plans that offer insulin at an affordable and predictable cost where a one-month supply of a broad set of plan-formulary insulins costs no more than $35 each.

Under Part D, the $35 cap applies to everyone who takes insulin, even if you get Extra Help.

Part D Senior Savings Model (Added a context box at the top)


Part D ends DEC23 and helps no one because it was suspended.

The Biden Administration used the time to reflect until JAN23. Then we got the Inflation Reduction Act (Climate Change Act).

"Trump's Medicare Part D" was supposed to begin in January 2021 but was delayed until January 1, 2023.

The Inflation Reduction Act (Climate Change Act) began on January 1, 2023.

Did anybody receive aid in 2021 and 2022?

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk's murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is appalling and unacceptable. Political violence has no place in a free society. No one should have to experience nor witness such trauma.

It’s time to fight back.

This is the rot at the core of our broken political system.
