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.

President Biden: When Kamala is president, she's gonna make sure we cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for every single American

Inflation is down to its lowest level in over three years. Gas prices are down nearly 50 cents compared to Labor Day last year. Insulin is capped at $35 a month, saving money for millions of Americans.

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.

THE TRUTH: This was one of the Trump administration’s policies.

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.

Medicare_gov > Insulin


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

UPDATED: Trump-era rebate rule for Medicare Part D on hold until 2023 [01FEB21]

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?

@CynicalPublius Yes, Google is misinterpreting the rules

“. . . information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified."

This quote was fed into google.

I fed in the longer, complete quote

“. . . information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released by any military member, DoW civilian employee or contract employee, even if it is unclassified.”

- still misinterpreted

@CynicalPublius I believe that Google interprets this from an authoritative perspective. The authority is the mainstream press.

The press is using Google, and Google is parroting their thinking in answer.

- Press must wear visible badge
- Credentialed press no longer permitted to solicit criminal acts

Done

The secretary and his staff know this, but:
