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.

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.

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?

I talked to @grok about Ukraine and Russia having peace talks.

Russia is ready for talks now

Ukraine may never be ready for talks because its 3 preconditions are all unattainable

1 Territorial Restoration
2 Security Guarantees
3 Military Strength

Russia is indeed open to talks where things can be negotiated right now

Ukraine isn’t opposed to negotiations __ but __ it demands certain things be in place first Image
More weapons and equipment give Ukraine a fighting chance, but a shrinking force undermines their effectiveness over time. Russia’s numerical edge could grind Ukraine down unless casualties or economic collapse force Moscow to relent firstImage

This ruling is absolutely insane!

How on Earth are we supposed to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money without looking at how money is spent?

That’s literally impossible!
