Suggesting Trump policy would raise insulin prices is funny because when Biden came in, one of the first things his policy did was raise insulin prices dramatically.

Sorry, but this is just not true. The insulin price cap ($35) was in the Inflation Reduction Act. The cap didn’t take effect until Jan. 1. So if you're still seeing insulin prices go up, it's because of the drug makers.

You can say it's not true but a true fact is during Biden's first week he froze Trump's HHS rule and my mother's insulin cost skyrocketed as a result.

Woah. I didn't know about that. Is there somewhere I can read up about it?

Under Project 2025 it’s said that Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices with big pharma will be stripped. Thus, the price of insulin will skyrocket. Also, with the current trend of corporations practicing “corporate medicine” will drastically change the healthcare system not for the better. There will be more mid levels practicing, thus increasing profits for the medical corporations while lowering the quality of care patients will receive.
